Total Engine Restoration
The Heart of the Machine: Precision Engine Repair
An engine is a complex assembly of thousands of moving parts, and in our corner of Illinois, those parts are under heavy stress. Between the "polar" winter cold-starts and the high-speed demands of an I-90 commute, even the best-engineered engines will eventually need technical intervention.
At Queens Auto Service, we don't believe in "quick fixes." Whether you’re dealing with a blown head gasket, a persistent oil leak, or an internal mechanical failure, we approach every engine repair with a level of attention to detail that ensures long-term reliability. We understand that an engine repair is an investment, and we want to make sure it’s one that lasts through many more years of Algonquin area driving.
The Queens Detail: Technical Restoration
Because we lean into the details, we don't just replace parts; we restore systems:
- Precision Gasket Replacement: When replacing seals and gaskets, we meticulously prep the mating surfaces to ensure a perfect, leak-proof bond. We use high-quality materials that are rated for the extreme temperature shifts of the Midwest climate.
- Cooling System Audit: Most engine failures are actually caused by a cooling system problem. As part of any major engine repair, we perform a technical check of your radiator, hoses, and water pump to prevent the heat-soak that kills engines during "muggy" Illinois summers.
- Technical Fluid Conditioning: We ensure that every engine we repair is filled with the exact weight and type of oil your manufacturer specifies, along with the proper filters to keep your internal components protected.
- Final Mechanical Validation: Once a repair is complete, we perform a technical break-in and test drive to ensure everything is seating correctly and your engine is delivering the power you expect.
Your engine is the powerhouse of your life—it gets your kids to school and gets you to work. When it fails, your whole world slows down. We're here to get you back up to speed with the honesty and precision of a neighbor who truly cares. We'll find out what's wrong, tell you exactly what it takes to fix it, and get the job done right. Come see us at 2401 E Algonquin Rd. That’s the Queens promise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our Engine Repair? Here are some common queries from our customers.
01 Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?
Appointments are recommended, especially for mechanical work and diagnostics, to help us get you in faster. However, we do accept walk-ins whenever our schedule allows.
02 How long will my service take?
Basics like tire installation and alignments are often completed the same day. For diagnostics or larger repairs, we'll give you a clear time estimate before we start any work.
03 Do you provide a quote before starting?
Absolutely. We never perform repairs without your approval. We'll explain what's needed, why it's needed, and exactly what it costs—no surprises.
04 Can I bring my own parts or tires?
In some cases, yes, but we highly recommend using the parts we supply. Our parts are specifically matched to your vehicle and come with our full warranty and testing.
05 Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes. Most repairs and parts come with a warranty. We'll explain your specific coverage clearly before the work begins so you have total peace of mind.
06 How do I know if I really need the recommended repair?
We believe in education, not pressure. We’ll show you what we found, explain the risks of waiting, and let you decide. If a repair can wait, we’ll tell you.

No. In Illinois, labor is not taxable—only parts and goods are. Your invoice will always clearly reflect this according to state law.
