Engines rebuilt right.
Full engine rebuilds and replacements, transmission work and real diagnostics. Every car, from the daily driver to the Lamborghini. Out of state? We send the truck.
Diagnostics ● Repair ● Performance
The Zen way
Most engines don't need replacing. They need someone who knows them.
The specialty
Rebuild or replace. We tell you straight.
Before any wrench turns, we find out why the engine failed and price the fix three ways: rebuild the one you have, drop in a used engine, or go new. You get photos and a written estimate, and you choose.
- 01
Diagnose
Compression, leak-down, scan data and a borescope look inside. We find the cause, not just the code.
- 02
Tear down
The engine comes apart on the stand. Every part is cleaned, photographed and laid out.
- 03
Measure
Bores, crank, bearings and heads are measured against factory spec. You see what's worn and by how much.
- 04
Rebuild
New gaskets, seals, bearings and rings, machine work where it's needed, torqued to spec.
- 05
Prove it
Break-in, fluid checks and a road test before the keys go back to you.
Everything else
One shop for the whole car
Diagnostics
Check engine lights, no-starts, misfires and the problems other shops couldn't find.
Engine & transmission
Rebuilds, swaps, timing jobs, head gaskets, transmission service and repair.
Programming
Module programming and setup after repairs and part swaps.
AC
AC checks, leak tests and repair. It's Houston, you need it.
Brakes & oil
Brake jobs, oil changes and the regular maintenance that keeps the big repairs away.
GPS tracker & kill switch
Live GPS, remote lock and unlock, and a kill switch. Installed at your door. See how

Warranty & insurance claims
Got a claim? We handle all of it.
Extended warranty or insurance, you don't have to chase anyone. We call the company, meet the adjuster, send the photos and paperwork, get the repair approved and do the work. You drop off the keys and pick up the car.
Insurance & collision
Your insurer, handled.
- We write the estimate with photos of every panel and part
- We meet the adjuster at the shop
- We file supplements when we find hidden damage
- We repair it right and keep you updated the whole way
- 01You bring the car and your policy or claim number
- 02We diagnose it and document everything
- 03We deal with the warranty company or insurer
- 04Approved, repaired, road tested, handed back
You pay your deductible and anything your policy doesn't cover. We tell you exactly what that is before any work starts. Start a claim →
Who comes to us
Made for the car you actually have.
Case 01
"The dealer said the engine's done."
Before you buy a new car, get a rebuild quote. A lot of "done" engines come back with bearings, rings and a head job for a fraction of the price.
Case 02
Exotic and luxury owners
Champions, Spring, Klein, The Woodlands. You want a specialist who has had a Lamborghini on the lift this week, not a quick-lube.
Case 03
Everyday drivers on FM 1960
Brakes, AC, oil and the check engine light. An honest shop close to home that tells you what can wait.
Case 04
Fleets and Turo hosts
Every day off the road costs you. We turn cars around fast, keep a record of what was done to each one, and sign the ASE inspection form your platform asks for.
Fleet & Turo inspections
ASE inspections, signed and ready to upload.
Turo and most fleet programs want an inspection form completed by an ASE-certified technician. Ours are. We inspect the car, fix anything that fails if you want us to, and hand you the signed ASE form.
- Turo hosts Inspection form for listing or renewing a car
- Rental and company fleets Scheduled inspections with a record kept for every car
- Rideshare and delivery The inspection your platform asks for, done by a certified tech
Running several cars? Ask about booking them together.
Qarhami preferred installer · Houston & surrounding cities

Where the car is right now and where it's been. Handy for a stolen car, a teen driver or a rental that's gone quiet.
