Engine repair and replacement
PINNA AUTO / TALLINN

Your vehicle. Our attention to detail.

When your engine needs repair

Noise, vibration, loss of power, high oil consumption or a Check Engine light are reasons to diagnose the car before the problem becomes serious.

  • Engine runs unevenly or stalls
  • Unusual noise, knocking or vibration has appeared
  • The vehicle has lost power or fuel consumption increased
  • Oil leak, overheating or smoke from the exhaust

We diagnose, repair and replace petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars, SUVs and vans.

Before work begins, we assess the engine, agree the parts and cost, and help source a new or used engine when needed.

What Engine Repair Includes

We offer complete engine overhauls for your vehicle. We handle issues such as replacing pistons, crankshafts, cylinder blocks, gearboxes, or clutches.

Car Engine Replacement

Car Engine Replacement

Over the years, engine performance and environmental standards decline, oil leaks start, and the engine may knock or seize.

Such cases require radical measures, such as an engine overhaul or replacement. We have replaced over 50 engines across various car brands and possess extensive experience in this field.

Gearbox Replacement

Gearbox Replacement

Passenger car gearbox replacement is our primary specialization. We install both new and used transmissions.

Because of this expertise, replacing a manual or automatic transmission at our auto service is fast, reliable, and high quality, while keeping service and parts prices affordable.

Clutch Replacement

Clutch Replacement

Expert and quick clutch replacement in Tallinn. We will source, purchase, and install a new or used clutch, either completely or in parts.

We perform clutch cable replacement and adjustment, fork replacement, and master or slave cylinder replacement. We work with modern professional equipment using the hands of experienced technicians.

Crankshaft Replacement

Crankshaft Replacement

The crankshaft is a structural element of the engine that acts as an axis. It transmits torque from the engine to the transmission while enduring heavy loads.

Over time, components of the crankshaft wear out—including bearings and oil seals—leading to an increase in allowable tolerances between specific units. We have been successfully solving these issues for over 13 years.

Oil Pump and Chain Replacement

Oil Pump and Chain Replacement

We can replace both the timing chain and the oil pump itself. In the engine lubrication system, oil is pumped under pressure.

This pressure is provided by the oil pump—a compact and simply designed device without which the engine would not run for even five minutes.

Piston Ring Replacement

Piston Ring Replacement

The engine itself will indicate when it needs piston ring replacement rather than other repairs. Symptoms of this failure are quite obvious, making them hard to miss.

Blue or black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe indicates that wear has reached a critical stage. Our specialists can replace the piston rings whenever necessary.

Engine Fault Finding / Inspection

Engine Fault Finding / Inspection

Inspection and fault finding involve examining and measuring the specifications of parts subject to repair or replacement. This process identifies specific damaged components and pinpoints why the failure occurred.

Following this inspection, we can locate and replace parts to properly repair your engine.

ABS Module Repair

ABS Module Repair

The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking during braking to maintain vehicle steerability. It enhances braking efficiency by shortening stopping distances. Sometimes, the system breaks down or malfunctions.

If the ABS warning light on your dashboard illuminates, you need an ABS module repair. Pinna Auto specialists will replace or repair your ABS unit.

Decarbonization

Decarbonization

Decarbonization is the removal of carbon deposits from piston grooves so the piston rings regain mobility and the engine stops consuming excessive oil, as well as cleaning carbon from the piston, valves, and combustion chamber walls. There are many methods and products for decarbonization.

Decarbonization can be performed through the oil system, fuel system, or spark plug holes. These methods differ in cleaning efficiency and labor required. The most effective way is to disassemble the engine and wash all components individually.

«To be honest, as a woman I do not understand anything about car services or car repairs. I have contacted them about twice and they always helped: the first time some warning lights came on, and the second time there was a knocking sound. They did everything properly and the problem was solved.»

«I had an engine overhaul. At first I chose based on price and did not know where to go, but they offered good terms here. I agreed and did not regret it. The work was almost on time, with only a one-day delay because they wanted to check everything. The price and the work itself were exactly what I needed. I got back to work and stopped losing money because of a broken car.»
