Best Engine & Service
Hello, I needed a new engine due to the local parts store engine being poorly poorly rebuilt in Mexico & died in 2 years. Me & my family was in a serious bind, my truck was down, and the staff at LCE literally saved us. My advice to all is local engine builders don't have the parts for Toyota engines like LCE does making my engine build stress free. The LCE staff built me an incredible engine that's quality & absolutely no comparison to a parts store engine. Don't hesitate asking for help from these guys & I would like to take this opportunity to thank the LCE staff for sending me a fine engine & taking care of us. Been proudly buying parts from LCE since 2001 which speaks for itself on quality & reputation & I'll gladly keep buying from them for decades to come.
