44+ years of engine experience
Car engine repair and full rebuilds by people who have done it for over forty years
We rebuild the engines that other garages walk away from. Timing chains, wet belts, oil starvation and bottom end damage on petrol and diesel cars and vans across the United Kingdom. Every rebuild is put back together with OEM parts and tested before it comes home.
Repairs and rebuilds from £2495.00
A rebuild price depends on the engine and on the damage we find when it is stripped. Our repairs and rebuilds start at £2495.00 including the parts and the labour to put the engine back to a proper standard. You get a written price before any work starts and we tell you honestly if a repair is not the right answer for your vehicle.
We work on the engines that give the most trouble in the UK. Ingenium diesels in Jaguar and Land Rover models, EcoBoost and EcoBlue wet belt engines in Ford cars and vans, PureTech wet belt petrols in Peugeot, Citroën, DS and Vauxhall, Skyactiv diesels in Mazda, and the small turbo petrols in Nissan and Renault. That focus means we know what fails and we know how to stop it happening again.
