Engine Swap & Replacement in New Braunfels, TX
Owner-operated, done on site across Seguin and Guadalupe County - we come to you. Hablamos Español.
A seized or failed engine used to mean a flatbed tow, a shop backlot, and weeks of waiting. With VIC Mobile Mechanic LLC, the seized or failed engine comes out and the replacement goes in right where the vehicle sits - your driveway, parking lot, or job site within about 50 miles of New Braunfels, Texas.
This is the work most mobile mechanics won't touch. Vic brings the heavy rigging, the hoist work, and 15+ years of hands-on experience to the vehicle, so you skip the tow bill, skip arranging rides, and talk directly to the mechanic actually turning the wrench.
What You’ll Notice
Seized Engine
The crank won't turn - often after oil starvation, overheating, or a broken component.
Heavy Knocking
Deep rod or main bearing knock that changes with RPM points to internal bearing failure.
Spun Bearing
Loss of oil pressure and a rapid knock typically means a spun bearing has damaged internals.
Overheated, Lost Compression
Severe overheat that left the engine misfiring or unable to hold compression.
Oil In The Coolant
Milkshake-colored oil or coolant mixing points to a failed gasket or cracked casting.
How Vic Confirms It On Site
Confirm The Engine Is The Problem
Vic tests first - compression, leaks, oil condition - so you don't replace an engine you didn't need to.
Source The Replacement
Confirm the right engine for your year, make, and model, and whether a new, remanufactured, or used unit fits the job and your budget.
Remove The Failed Engine
The bad engine comes out on site with the heavy rigging and hoist brought to your location.
Transfer & Install
Good parts transfer over, the replacement goes in, fluids and connections are set.
Test Run & Save History
Start, check for leaks and codes, road-test, and save the full vehicle history for next time.
Can It Be Done In Your Driveway?
Most engine swap & replacement in new braunfels, tx jobs are completed on site. Here’s what Vic needs to work safely where the vehicle sits.
- No tow bill to move a non-running vehicle to a shop.
- No arranging rides to and from the shop across your work week.
- No waiting room - you watch the work happen where the car already sits.
- You talk directly to Vic, the mechanic doing the swap, not a service writer.
Vic needs level ground and enough space to safely rig and lift the engine at your location. If the replacement part has to be ordered, that lead time is part of the schedule - Vic will tell you plainly.
What Affects The Price
New Engine
A brand-new unit. The highest part cost, with the longest expected service life for the application.
Remanufactured Engine
A factory-rebuilt unit with worn parts replaced. A balance between cost and expected longevity.
Used Engine
A salvage-yard unit of known mileage. Lower parts cost, with more variability in condition - Vic confirms it before installing.
