Testimonials

John W.
Steve has very thin skin, but he was right. The car was held up by parts that were currently unavailable. I checked for those parts on line and called several dealers who told me the parts were not yet available. I was told the car needed a new crankshaft. I took the old crank to a machine shop who took the time to show me why my crank was no good. I agree that Steve has thin skin and doesn't respond well when challenged. But, in my case he was right and the car is repaired and runs really well. I hope I never have to have another engine rebuilt, but if I do, Steve is the cranky man.

Used his service on a jeep 3.6 customer damaged the engine he rebuilt the engine again no charge and even bought a higher priced oil pump to replace the first one good service will use again.

Steve rebuilt the engine for me on a 2013 Ford F-150. Only had it back long enough to put a couple hundred miles on it, but running well. I believe I saved money compared to other quotes I had.

He rebuilt the motor in my 07 purple charger and did a great job. I have recommended him to other friends who he has taken care of also and worked out financial issues with. Steve is a standup guy and will take care of you.

Had valve train failure on my 2005 Lincoln Navigator with the 5.4 3v motor and found that Affordable Engine Exchange specialized in that motor . I looked at some reviews and messaged some of the good reviewers on yelp and decided to give Steve a call and we discussed what was wrong and what it would cost to fix it and that tow was free to get it to his shop . It took about 1 month to get it done right when the quarantine shutdown started but the guy got it done and was polite and always would answer my text . The Navigator runs perfect with no issues at all and comes with a 40k warranty too!

If I had only read the Yelp reviews, I probably wouldn't have called Affordable Engines - Steve. Luckily for me, I was referred to them by my Goodyear Service Center for a repair they couldn't perform. My 2007 Chevy Suburban had a known problem with the DOD - Dispersion on Demand system that prevented the lifters from switching from 4 to 8 cylinders when not in gas saving mode. My vehicle had 182,000 miles but I wasn't looking to purchase a new vehicle right now. I was quoted $3200 and $3800 dollars by two other providers (another shop & dealer) just to repair the lifters. For about that same price, Affordable Engines rebuilt my entire engine (lifters included) and gave me a 3yr/36,000 warranty. My burb is running like new! Steve is a straight shooter, knows his stuff, and will be honest about what your vehicle needs. Its a lot of money. Repairs this expensive can be emotional. Don't let a couple of emotional reviews deter you from good work. He's been in business for over 23 years for a reason. Lee.
