I have owned a business in Raleigh since 1975 and have had a lot of experence in dealing with many local business people. I have found that Jimmy and all the staff at Engine Experts have been the most honest, fair and competent mechanics I have the pleasure of working with. I had an engine in a 2000 Land Rover that needed replacing in 2005. Now, six years and 110,000 miles later it is still going strong. Finding a mechanic to work on a Land Rover in Raleigh at a fair price was a problem before I went to see Jimmy. I even rec... read more

Jimmy at Engine Experts is a one of a kind individual, meticulous, friendly, honest, service oriented. They replaced the engine in our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was our daughters vehicle and she was in school in Boone, NC. We needed the car back in a timely manner. After explaining everything in detail, in person with old parts and hoses in hand, Jimmy and his team replaced our engine quickly. I have found that you learn the most about an individual when things do not go as planned. After about 2 months the engine light c... read more

I own a 1991 Olds Bravada, this car finally gave up the ghost with the odometer showing 228,000 miles, I knew that I had gotten my money’s worth out of it but I was attached to it (you know how it is, a man and his car) Jimmy Boyd’s Engine Experts was referred to me by the mechanic that diagnosed it DOA. He told me if I was still interested in keeping the car these guys could put an engine in it for a reasonable price. I went to meet Jimmy and he immediately looked at the car and said the body is in good shape, he and his cr... read more

Be prepared to pay way more than you expected - I was quoted 3,400 for an engine replacement but ended up with a bill for $4,800 after all the other replacement parts. Then I had to take it back at least half a dozen times for the same little issues (many times for the same issue (squeaky belts, temp light, etc.). Also beware of the "Lifetime"warranty - it only covers the engine - mine failed 2 months after the 18 mo service coverage on the warranty, and they wanted another $1,800 in service to replace it!

I have had the honor of doing business with Jimmy Boyd for 7 years. He is honest and dependable while doing the job right the first time. I replaced an engine in my 1997 Expedition seven years ago and sold it in 2008. Ran like a new car until the day I sold it. Jimmy remains my source for all my automobiles service import and domestic. I recently had an instance while I was out of town. The Volvo dealer told me I needed a new turbo. I held out and took it over to Jimmy with less than 2 hours notice to the shop. He got me up ... read more

Jimmy Boyd and his crew at Engine Experts are just that, experts. In the past 3 years Jimmy has done everything from replace the engine to tighten a loose fan belt on my 1990 Cherokee. He makes no unnecessary repairs and everything is top-quality work. Jimmy is a stickler for details and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is right. He preaches the "Gospel of Oil Change" and will no doubt show you his auto autopsies (engines that were not properly maintained). I recommend him unequivically. He's the best!
