Precision Engine Reconditioning – Restoring Performance, Enhancing Reliability
From initial consultation to final installation, we follow a meticulous step-by-step process to diagnose, repair, and recondition your engine.
Whether you need a minor rebuild or a full engine overhaul, our expert team ensures that every job meets the highest industry standards.
NOTE
There are 2 sets of costs in reconditioning an engine:
1. The Assessment Fee. This cost includes removing the engine for inspection and diagnosis. Then after the reconditioning works are complete, rebuilding and refitting the engine into the vehicle
2. The Repair Fee. This cost is provided after the diagnostic report is complete and includes the cost of reconditioning the ancillaries, the engine and any new parts that may be required.

1. Ancillary components
All ancillary components are removed and inspected for faults and engine wear.

The internal engine is dismantled and placed through a cylindrical parts washer to remove carbon deposits and debris, before inspection.
The main components which need to be in a recondition-able state are the:
Engine Block

Crankshafts
Con Rods
Pistons
Oil Pump & Sump
A detailed report is sent, including pricing, photos, and videos of your engine’s condition.

We stand behind our work. Every reconditioned engine undergoes rigorous testing before it leaves our workshop, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
To maintain peak performance, and keep the warranty validated, two compulsory services are essential, ensuring your engine stays in top condition. These services include:
-
2 months or 500 miles (whichever comes first)– A basic engine check, oil and filter change. Remove covers, check gaskets and seals that have been replaced and any snags from the rebuild can be assessed.
-
Service Costs vary dependent on vehicle and engine size.
-
-
6 month or 6,000 miles (whichever comes first) – A thorough engine assessment, full service with oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs (if petrol) replaced, system diagnostics, and performance inspection.
After the warranty period is complete, we recommend a service every 6 months or 6,000 miles to correctly maintain your reconditioned engine.
These checks help keep your reconditioned engine running smoothly and efficiently.
