About Our Heavy Equipment Gas Engine Repair, Rebuild, & Diagnostic Services
Modern spark-ignited engines are far more than pistons and plugs. Electronic control modules, knock sensors, and variable-timing systems all have to work in perfect rhythm or the entire machine slows down. Using OEM-grade scan tools, pressure transducers, and borescopes, our technicians capture live data, verify timing events, and confirm compression in a single visit.
Once we know what failed, we act quickly:
- On-site repairs such as ignition-coil replacement, injector service, and coolant-system resealing keep downtime to a minimum.
- In-shop overhauls restore worn cam bearings, refinish crank journals, and press new sleeves to factory clearances in a climate-controlled environment.
- Complete engine rebuilds include cylinder-head machining, valve-train renewal, and break-in testing so you can put the machine straight back to work.
Every job is documented with digital photos and measurements. You’ll see exactly where your money goes—and how much life you’ve added to the engine.
What Makes Us Different
- Relentless Learning: Our six full-time technicians complete brand-specific courses each month, ensuring they stay current on the latest diagnostic strategies.
- Vendor-Backed Parts: Because we buy directly from gasket, piston, and bearing manufacturers, every component we install carries the same warranty you’d receive at the dealership—often with quicker turnaround.
- Tools No One Else Has: From a 100-ton track press to a mobile hydraulic bench, we’ve invested in specialty equipment rarely seen outside OEM service centers.
- Dual-Industry Expertise: Whether it’s a high-rev irrigation pump or a low-speed timber skidder, chances are we’ve rebuilt an engine just like yours—and we bring that cross-industry knowledge to every repair.
- Four Fully Equipped Service Trucks: Each unit carries a 14,000 lb. crane, hydraulic power pack, welder, oil-recovery system, large air compressor, and even 4WD when fields or cut-blocks turn muddy. If the machine can’t come to us, we bring the shop to you.

FAQs
What Areas Do You Serve?
Our base is 37549 Range Road 232 near Highway 11A, Red Deer County, AB. We regularly visit Rocky Mountain House AB, Lacombe AB, Innisfail AB, Olds AB, and Grande Prairie AB, and we’re federally certified to travel throughout British Columbia and Nunavut when required.
How Long Does An Engine Diagnostic Take?
A typical field diagnostic lasts about two hours. That gives us time to pull electronic codes, run compression and leak-down tests, and inspect ignition and fuel delivery. When we finish, you’ll receive a written report outlining the fault, repair options, and estimated turnaround.
What Are The Signs My Engine Needs An Overhaul?
Extended crank time, blue or white exhaust smoke, metal shavings in the oil, and coolant consumption all point toward internal wear. If compression numbers fall below manufacturer spec, an overhaul restores clearances, stops fluid crossover, and returns power and fuel economy.
