Why Engine Problems Should Never Be Ignored
Your vehicle’s engine is a complex machine. A small issue—like a misfire, oil leak, or unusual rattle—can escalate into major (and expensive) damage if left unaddressed. Many drivers delay repairs, hoping the problem will go away. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Ignoring engine issues can lead to:
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- Overheating and breakdowns
- Costly long-term repairs
- Total engine failure
If your vehicle is stalling, shaking, or just feeling off, it’s time to bring it in.
Expert Diagnostics—Because Guesswork Isn’t an Option
At Nate’s Gona Fix It, we don’t rely on guesswork or quick fixes. Our ASE-certified technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause of your engine problems. Whether it’s a sensor issue, compression loss, timing problems, or a deeper internal malfunction, we find the issue fast—and fix it right.
Here’s how we approach engine diagnostics:
- Initial inspection – We talk with you about the symptoms and conduct a visual and auditory inspection.
- Computer diagnostics – Using cutting-edge scan tools, we pull error codes and analyze real-time engine data.
- Component testing – From spark plugs to sensors, we test individual parts to identify the root cause.
- Clear communication – We explain the issue in plain language and offer honest recommendations.
No upselling. No technical jargon. Just straightforward, reliable service.
Common Engine Repairs We Handle
Engine troubles come in many forms, and our team has seen—and fixed—them all. Here are some of the most common engine issues we repair at our Havre shop:
Timing Belt or Chain Replacement
Worn-out timing components can throw your engine’s rhythm completely off. If your vehicle’s timing belt breaks, it can cause serious engine damage. We replace timing belts and chains using manufacturer guidelines and OE parts.
Gasket Repairs
A leaking head gasket can cause coolant loss, overheating, or white smoke from the exhaust. We repair and replace gaskets to restore your engine’s seal and performance.
Oil Leaks and Seals
From valve cover gaskets to oil pan seals, we find the source of your leak and seal it tight. Proper oil pressure is crucial for engine longevity.
Misfires and Rough Idling
If your engine is misfiring or running rough, the culprit could be a bad ignition coil, dirty fuel injector, or even a worn spark plug. We test each component and replace only what’s necessary.
Overheating Issues
Overheating can stem from faulty thermostats, water pumps, or radiator problems. We inspect your entire cooling system to keep your engine operating at the perfect temperature.
Engine Mounts
If your engine shakes when you start the car or shift gears, worn engine mounts could be the problem. We replace mounts to keep everything stable and quiet.

Fixing engine problems is one thing—but preventing them is even better. At Nate’s Gona Fix It, we believe in proactive care. That’s why we offer a full range of maintenance services designed to keep your engine healthy:
