Engine Repair & Replacement in Wilmington, NC

When Your Engine Talks — We Listen

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle. Whether it’s making strange noises, losing power, or not starting at all, Cape Fear Auto Clinic is here with honest answers and expert repairs. From minor fixes to full replacements, we do it right — and back it with the local trust you deserve.


⚠️ Signs of Engine Trouble:

  • Knocking, tapping, or rattling sounds
  • Loss of power or poor acceleration
  • Overheating or smoke from under the hood
  • Oil leaks or burning oil smell
  • Check Engine Light that stays on
  • Rough idle or stalling

These symptoms can point to anything from worn spark plugs to major internal damage — and guessing only leads to wasted time and money.


🔍 What We Offer:

At Cape Fear Auto Clinic, we start with complete diagnostics using modern tools and years of hands-on experience. From there, we walk you through your options with clear, honest advice.

✅ Engine Repair Services:

  • Gasket and seal replacement
  • Timing chain/belt service
  • Cylinder head and valve repairs
  • Cooling and oil system repairs
  • Misfire and performance issue resolution

✅ Engine Replacement Services:

When the damage is beyond repair — such as a thrown rod, cracked block, or seized internals — we offer full engine replacement using:

  • New engines (OEM or high-quality aftermarket)
  • Remanufactured engines with warranty
  • Used engines (budget-friendly options available)

Every replacement is done with precision, and we stand behind our work with warranty options and follow-up support.
