Our Out-of-State Business is Growing!
We just recently (28 Jan 2023) shipped a beautiful Deville back to Gay, Georgia. Our repair and shipping costs were cheaper than the owner's best local quote! A few months prior to that we repaired a 1997 El Dorado all the way from Monterey, Tennessee! We have done repairs in our home state of California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Kentucky, Georgia, and Tennessee. We want to have a SuperStar in every state! Check out the pics! Let me add Hawaii, Ohio, and Minnesota!!!!
By the time most Northstar owners call us they are so confused, afraid, and in a state of hopelessness. Are these questions tearing away at you?
1. My Cadillac runs too smooth for me to believe it has a major problem?
Well you know your car. And if you are uncomfortable putting it in major traffic or on the freeway for an extended time, well there is an issue. You simply need a competent mechanic or a Northstar Specialist to diagnose it.
2. How do I know if a particular Mechanic shop is qualified to repair my Northstar?
Well that's a tough question. Personally I don't trust the dealer with this repair. They are super high priced and mandated by GM to do it one way and their repair option (timeserts) fails. I have the blocks here to prove it. We have the only affordable lifetime repair option for the Northstar engine. You simply have to do as much homework as possible and talk to your prospective mechanics. And make sure that he has the numbers (jobs completed) because so many bad things can happen when doing this repair. Basically make sure he/she is battle tested. The thing about most mechanics that I have found is that that a lot of shops are selfish, greedy, and lean to their own understanding of this repair. They will talk most customers into doing the old engine swap, solely because they want the money and most know it's a short term solution. Many will tell you right away that they don't work on Northstars. Even if they knew a specialist, most won't recommend him. Go figure?
3. What am I going to accomplish by buying a used engine and replacing my supposed bad engine?
Absolutely nothing. You might as well take that money and donate it to charity! A used Northstar engine is nothing but a ticking time bomb. The same exact thing will happen to it. Mechanics are so afraid of this engine. They prefer to take your money by simply replacing your engine. Your beautiful Cadillac is no longer original and you really don't have a clue about the validity of the miles. Trust me they would never open it up to inspect your timing componets or completely reseal the "imposter" engine. Why gamble with your money? We are by far the most affordable. Whether or not you're in California, or in Maine, we will show you the savings.
4. My mechanic has over 30 years of automotive repair experience?
Well he could have 150 years of experience, if he doesn't do the Northstar often, things could get ugly quick. You have to be ready for the "worse case scenerios" with this engine. We are battle tested here and have experienced 90% of the nightmares that come with this repair. I have experienced the busted knuckles, shed tears, nightmares, and temper tantrums to prove it. I have also exalted in elation after my many victories! If you don't feel comfortable taking road trips in your Cadillac. Once it's a SuperStar, you will become a road warrior!
5. What about these dreadful oil leaks?
We make the dreaded reseal part of our head gasket repair, and we have mastered it. Let me tell you why we decided to do this. First we wanted to give far more service than what our customers pay for. This is how the Northstar works, if we just did the headgasket work and not the reseal your engine would leak like crazy. Even if you just had the reseal work done according to GM specs. GM's reseal have a short life because of the sealant used. We have cars that we have done with 120k miles on the reseal and they are still bone dry. Converesly, if we just did a reseal and not the head gasket work, well the reseal will hasten head gasket failure. Do it our way and it's a good chance that this engine will outlast you.
6. What is this SuperStar stuff all about?
Well SuperStar is a term coined by one of our customers named Hank Norman. Hank Norman is USC's all time leading receiver. When I told him that if he properly maintained his car after we repaired it, we strongly feel that he could get 300-400k mi. His reply was, "So you turned my Northstar into a SuperStar?" So join the club!!!!!
7. What should I expect after my Northstar becomes a SuperStar?
From what my customers have told me you should feel more power, smoother ride, and virtually no attention to the coolant temperature gage.....lol Oh yeah you can expect a keep a clean drive way because the reseal is part of our repair. You can rekindle your relationship with your mechanic because that scary head gasket issue is gone. Many mentioned improved gas mileage.
The most important thing you should expect is that you will really get to experience the Northstar engine without the worries. Remember this engine was designed specifically to combat overheating. It was engineered to give you a chance (a great chance) in the event a hose blows at high speeds, the radiator clogs, or some other issue happens that compromises the cooling system. This is an unbelievable engine.
8. Can I trust your company to give me the best advice?
My advice to you is solely based on my hands on experience from dealing with this engine. I will not start on your car until it has been thoroughly tested. Then I can advise you based on the results of my testing. Many mechanics kinda guess and see what happens as they go. That's too scary and costly for me. If you listen to me I can save you a lot of money. If your choice is to do the repair like every other car, well as a businessman, I have to do what you want. Do your homework, and we can be highly successful with this repair together!
9. What if I am out of state?
Boy do we have a deal for you! Why have so many hands working on your baby? Let us handle everything! At least get our quote! Because our competition is the mechanics who do the remove and replace of Northstar engines, we have made it unbelievably easy for you to turn your Northstar into a SuperStar. We have found the planet's best shipping agent to help us get your engine here for the bottomline best pricing! Our goal is to keep our out of state customers with an overall price that's comparable to or better than the price of a remove/replace. Get us your engine to us and we will repair it with the SuperStar Stud System, Super Seal, and complete upper end headset. Please call right now for a shipping quote!
10. Is there a trusted and affordable way that I can keep my wonderful Cadillac?
Invest your hard earned money and have the SuperStar Stud System installed in your Cadillac. Read the rest of this website.
11. My mechanic told me to get rid of my Cadillac, it's just too expensive to fix?
Wow, I personally feel like this is the best V8 American engine ever made for a sedan. Just think, at one time someone paid $40k-$50k for that Cadillac. How can someone just give up on that type of monetary investment? Especially when there is a very affordable repair option. How can someone tell you to just "get rid" of something so easily. I was just reading the news and the doctors told this woman to pull the plug on her supposed brain-dead husband. She refused, and not to long after, he came out of the coma. So many people have told me that they wish they knew me when they had their beautiful Cadillac that was dumped because of head gaskets! $20 head gaskets! Those people always remember that car and what could have been.
12. Can you effectively remove and replaced my engine without evacuating the A/C, without removing my transmission, and without dismantling my steering system?
Yes!!! We remove your engine from the top. By doing it this way we actually save you money and peace of mind. You don't want a shop to charge you to recharge your AC. You definitely don't want anyone fooling around with your transmission. Your tranny stays put. We only disconnect the engine from it. Your steering system is practically untouched as well. Club Superstar is currently looking for new members!!!
13. How long does it normally take to complete the repair?
We can do this repair in a matter of days if the workload is down. We ask that the customer give us 10- 15 working days to complete the job. Most customers are totally comfortable with this because of the reputation of this engine, they do not want to rush this repair. This time frame gives us the time to handle most things that can come up.

Your trusted and faithful mechanic has made it really hard on this world-class engine. He has made so many dump their Cadillacs and question any Northstar repairman's professional skill-set. But this same guy has replaced your thermostat, radiator, coolant reservoir, water pump, and coolant temperature switch. Then after receiving full payment for this work, he grimaces and tells you it's your head gaskets. Some even have charged their customers to put snake-oil in their engines! Yeah the good ol' faithful and trusted mechanic! How he gets away with misdiagnosing like that, well it just doesn't feel right to me.
The above paragraph and sentiment is the way that we use to feel about other mechanics. Over the past 10 years our understanding has changed. These poor mechanics are simply doing their best and want to help their customers. The reality is they just don't know. And a lot of times they are pressured to do the the repairs that they are kinda iffy about. Well the good news is, once we do the repair, you can rekindle your relationship with your mechanic!

The Northstar engine and the Great White shark have a lot in common. The great White is elegant, graceful, the top predator, and unfairly deemed notorious. The Great White was made to roam the open ocean. In fact, if you put a Great White shark in any type of cage or confinement, it will surely die. Cadillacs that have the Northstar engine are elegant, very smooth and graceful, the top of their line, and made notorious because of head gasket/bolt failure. These cars are made for the open road to showcase their smooth dominance. Because of head gasket/bolt failure many of these cars have been put in a cage and are a phone call away from sure death (the wrecking yard). Many Cadillac owners are afraid to drive their car on the open road because they have been made aware of the head gasket issues. So they play it safe and drive it locally. Many owners are currently experiencing head gasket failure so they too make very short runs in their communities because of the overheating. These wonderful cars are in a cage and a visit to the dealer or some high priced mechanic will spell this wonderful car's doom. Don't call the wrecking yard yet!
