Same day to 3 days for the work itself. It is a workshop job, so add recovery time in each direction; we collect and return the car rather than asking you to drive it.
The honest answer to how long an engine repair takes has two halves: the work, which is predictable, and everything around it, which is where the day actually goes. Here is both.
Same day to 3 days on a car with nothing unusual about it. That figure assumes the diagnosis is already done and the right parts are on the van or the shelf — which is why we confirm the car and the fault on the call rather than discovering both on arrival.
A seized fastener, a part that has to be ordered, or a second fault found while the first is being fixed. We tell you as soon as we know rather than at the end, and if the extra work changes the price you agree to the new number before we carry on.
Some engines are not worth the work. If the block is scored or the repair cost passes what the car is worth in the local market, we say so and price the alternative instead. That conversation happens before the strip-down, not after.
We run 24/7, every day, and there is no night or holiday surcharge. For a workshop job it means recovery can happen out of hours even when the work itself waits for the morning.
Same day to 3 days for the work. Recovery to the workshop and back is included in that arrangement rather than billed separately.
It depends entirely on the fault. A coil pack and plugs is a few hundred dirhams; a head gasket or timing chain runs into the thousands. We give you a fixed price after diagnosis, and the diagnosis fee comes off the repair if you go ahead.
Yes for scanning and for the faults that turn out to be electrical, ignition or sensor related. Anything needing the car on a lift or the engine opened moves to the workshop, and we recover the car there at no extra charge.
Often it is a clogged fuel filter, a failing MAF sensor or a blocked catalytic converter rather than the engine itself. All three are cheap to rule out and all three are commonly misdiagnosed as engine wear.
