Engine Repair Services We Provide
EcoBoost Engine Repair
Ford's 2.3L, 2.7L, and 3.5L EcoBoost engines deliver impressive power through twin-scroll turbocharging and direct injection, but those performance advantages require specialized maintenance. Our technicians diagnose and repair timing chain stretch, turbocharger failure, wastegate actuator faults, carbon buildup on intake valves, and coolant intrusion issues specific to EcoBoost platforms. We use genuine Motorcraft replacement turbos and timing components to restore factory performance in your F-150, Explorer, Edge, or Mustang.
5.0L Coyote V8 Service
The 5.0L Coyote V8 is one of the most capable engines Ford has ever built, and keeping it running at peak performance requires precision service. We handle timing chain and tensioner replacement, oil pump and pickup tube repairs, valve cover gasket leaks, cam phaser diagnosis and replacement, and variable valve timing solenoid service. From Mustang GTs to F-150 Coyote-powered trucks, our team understands the engineering behind every revision of this legendary V8.
Power Stroke Diesel Repair
The 6.7L Power Stroke diesel demands specialized knowledge and tooling that general repair shops simply do not have. Mahon Ford's diesel-trained technicians perform turbocharger rebuilds and replacements, fuel injector testing and service, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve cleaning and replacement, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system repairs, diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration, and high-pressure fuel pump diagnostics. We keep your Super Duty working as hard as you do across the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Hybrid & Electric Powertrain
Ford's electrified lineup — including the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, Escape Hybrid, and Maverick Hybrid — introduces advanced high-voltage battery packs, inverters, electric drive motors, and regenerative braking systems. Our technicians hold Ford's specialized EV and hybrid certifications, allowing them to safely diagnose and repair high-voltage battery cooling systems, onboard charger faults, inverter and DC-DC converter issues, and electric motor bearing wear, all using Ford-approved procedures and components.
What's Included in Engine Repair
- Comprehensive Diagnostic Scan — Full powertrain control module (PCM) scan using Ford IDS/FDRS diagnostic software to identify fault codes, freeze-frame data, and live sensor readings specific to your engine platform.
- Engine Disassembly & Inspection — Methodical teardown of affected engine components with visual and measurement-based inspection to pinpoint the root cause, not just the symptom, of your engine problem.

- Precision Reassembly & Torque Specs — All fasteners torqued to Ford's published specifications using calibrated tools, with new fluids and sealants applied per factory service manual procedures.
- Post-Repair Performance Testing — Engine run-up, leak-down test, and road test verification to confirm operating temperature, oil pressure, compression balance, and driveability meet factory standards before returning your vehicle.
- Warranty Documentation & Service Records — Detailed repair documentation recorded in Ford's service history system, supporting any applicable warranty claims and maintaining your vehicle's complete maintenance record.
Genuine Motorcraft Parts & Ford-Certified Expertise

Why Choose Mahon Ford for Engine Repair
Our service team holds current Ford factory certifications across gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and fully electric powertrains. That means whether your vehicle runs on turbocharged EcoBoost technology, the proven Coyote V8, a 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, or a lithium-ion battery pack, our technicians have the training and the Ford-specific diagnostic tools to perform accurate repairs without guesswork.
Driving in the mountains of Western North Carolina puts unique stress on your Ford's engine. Steep grades along US-276, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and US-64 demand sustained high-load operation that accelerates wear on timing chains, turbocharger bearings, head gaskets, and cooling systems. At Mahon Ford in Brevard, we understand these local driving conditions and factor them into every diagnosis. We see the patterns that flat-land shops miss — and we address them before small issues become costly failures.
From a minor oil leak repair to a complete engine rebuild, Mahon Ford provides full-spectrum powertrain service under one roof. Our parts department stocks high-demand Motorcraft engine components on-site, reducing wait times and getting you back on the road faster. We also coordinate directly with Ford's warranty and extended service plan departments, helping eligible customers minimize out-of-pocket expense on covered repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are common EcoBoost engine problems?
The most frequently reported EcoBoost concerns include timing chain stretch or rattle — particularly in earlier 3.5L versions — carbon buildup on direct-injection intake valves that causes rough idle and misfires, and turbocharger issues such as wastegate failure or boost leaks. Our Ford-certified technicians use IDS diagnostic software to pinpoint the exact fault and repair it with genuine Motorcraft components, restoring your EcoBoost engine to factory operating standards.
How do I know if my Ford needs engine repair?
Key warning signs include persistent engine knocking or ticking noises, excessive oil consumption between changes, noticeable loss of power or acceleration, a check engine light that stays on or flashes, blue or white exhaust smoke, and coolant loss without a visible external leak. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic appointment at Mahon Ford promptly — early detection often prevents minor issues from escalating into major engine damage.

Yes. Mahon Ford provides full-service repair for the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel found in Ford Super Duty trucks. Our diesel-certified technicians handle everything from turbocharger replacement and fuel injector service to EGR cleaning, DEF system repair, and diesel particulate filter maintenance.
