Automotive News & Information - Rhodes Engines

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

Customer Review

★★★★★

Our family loves the service you provide. My father who was very mechanically inclined and a pretty tough nut always raved about your service. You installed an engine for him in a Ford Taurus and it’s still running great 15+ years later. Although he’s no longer with us, whenever I see the car I think of how happy he was with the job you performed. Bless You! Scot Schroeder

Our St Charles drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Rhodes Engines feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on.
