Warning Signs to Look For

Not sure if an engine repair is what your car needs? If you've noticed any of these warning signs, then it could be time to book one:

  • An illuminated check engine light
  • A knocking or tapping sound
  • Excessive blue, white or black exhaust smoke
  • A loss of power or acceleration
  • Oil under your car
  • Overheating

If you've noticed one or more of these warning signs, it's a sign that something isn't working as it should - and catching issues early could help you avoid long-term engine damage.

To reduce the chances of needing a more expensive repair, it pays to invest in regular maintenance and book in with a garage at the first sign of engine trouble.

Not to worry - we make it easy to find a skilled local garage to fix your car's engine problems.

Browse garages based on what matters most to you - be it customer reviews or availability - and make a booking in under 60 seconds.

Take control of your car's health with a professional engine repair and enjoy the peace of mind you deserve today.

Frequently asked questions

Is My Car Engine Worth Repairing?

Most engine damage can be repaired, but whether it’s worth it will depend on the repair cost, as well as the condition and value of your vehicle.

If the repair costs more than your car’s value, it may be worth getting a new one instead.

For older cars, the cost of replacing the engine may exceed your vehicle's value.

You should have your engine checked every 12,000 miles or once a year to ensure everything is working well.

What do the Tier badges mean?

We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.

When do I pay for my appointment?

We never ask for payment details upfront.
Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.
Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.

Can I compare garages another way?

Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews - whatever matters most to you.

How do I reschedule my appointment?

You can change your booking details right up until the appointment date. You’ll find instructions in the confirmation email you received or in your BookMyGarage account. Your chosen garage will contact you to acknowledge the amendment and re-confirm your booking.

What does ‘BMG Verified’ mean?

Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited by our team and meet our clear service level agreement standards for ratings and reliability.

Why do some garages have lower prices than others?

Garages set their own prices to deliver great value for every driver, based on their location, costs and special offers. We show every price upfront, so you can decide what represents the best value for you without any hidden fees or surprises.

Is the cheapest option always the best?

The best option for you will depend on your priorities. That’s why we show prices, ratings, availability, distance and everything else you need to find the right value for you, not just the lowest price.

How do you decide which garages to show me first?

We recommend the garages we deem most relevant for you based on your selected product, postcode and the reviews of garages in your area, prioritising BMG Verified and Silver, Gold and Top Tier garages for added peace of mind.
You can change your filters anytime if one factor is more important to you than others – full transparency, full control.
