Complex Repairs Done Right the First Time

We specialize in all aspects of automotive repair and major mechanical work.

Engine Repair & Rebuild

From complete engine overhauls to targeted repairs, we have the tools, technology, and experience to diagnose and fix even the most complex engine problems. We swap new and used engines and will find you the best price on parts.

Transmission Repair & Replacement

Slipping gears, fluid leaks, or a transmission that won’t shift right — we service and swap both new and used transmissions. Filters, gaskets, and fluid are in stock. You can supply your own transmission or we’ll source one at the best price and give you a quote first.

Suspension, Exhaust & More

Poor handling, a rough ride, sluggish performance, or a dragging exhaust? We handle patch and repair, catalytic converters, mufflers, exhaust hangers, and full suspension service to keep your vehicle safe and road-ready.

What We Repair at Rogers Automotive

We handle engine overhauls, complete rebuilds, and targeted repairs for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs of all makes and models — domestic, foreign, and industrial. Services include timing belt and chain replacement, injector service, valve cover repairs, gasket intake and head gasket replacement, alternator replacement, water pump service, hose replacement, and coolant flushes. Stocked batteries come with a 2–5 year warranty and are installed at no charge.

Whether you’re losing fluid, slipping between gears, or your transmission has failed entirely, our technicians will assess the situation and give you an honest recommendation. We service and replace both automatic and manual transmissions, new and used. All filters, gaskets, and fluid are stocked in-house. If you’d rather source your own transmission, we’ll install it — or we can find one for you at the best available price.

Your suspension system directly affects how your vehicle handles, brakes, and rides. If it feels loose, bouncy, or pulls to one side, get it checked before it becomes a safety issue. We also handle full exhaust system work including mufflers, catalytic converters, exhaust gaskets, hangers, and patch repairs. A failing exhaust doesn’t just sound bad — it hurts fuel economy and engine performance.
