Below are a couple of recent photos we took of an engine installation for a Dodge Avenger. We pay very close attention to the details, and periodically, we find and correct wiring and ground problems from engines installed by others.

​Remember the 1967 Firebird we introduced here a couple months back? The Engine & Transmission were  completely rebuilt. They're pictured back in the vehicle below.

What a fun project on a classic car. Click here to revisit the laundry list of upgrades we made, and be on the lookout for this beauty on a road near you this summer! ​

You can trust Laker Tire & Service with your classic or vintage car. All of our service is performed and verified by an ASE Certified Master Technician. Don't trust your vintage vehicle to anyone but the best! This week, we had the pleasure of working on this beauty, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird. 

This classic car has been well taken care of by its owner, but it was time for a laundry list of services and upgrades.  We are in the process of repairing leaks and rebuilding the motor, as well as replacing bearings, seals and rings. Also, we converted the front drum brakes to power disc brakes while replacing brake lines, shocks, front coil springs, repairing the exhaust manifold, restoring the intakes, and rebuilding the carburetor. We'll also replace the tires and wheels.  

This Firebird will roll out of here feeling and looking brand new!  If you have a classic or vintage car that you'd like the best in the business to take a look at, give us a call or stop in today to see what we can do for you!

Laker Tire and Service has a Pontiac engine available for sale. Engine can be purchased "as is" or customized to your specifications.  Call us today at (937) 842-5000 to ask questions or make an offer.  More details and pictures are below.
