Working method and warranties

The process described by the company begins with a specialist diagnostic using OEM-grade equipment to identify the exact fault before recommending any work. A detailed written quote covering parts and labour is then provided, with no hidden costs. Repairs and rebuilds are carried out to manufacturer specification with genuine OEM or quality-matched parts, and before handover the engine is road-tested and pressure-checked.

As for cover, the company states a standard one-month warranty for second-hand engine swaps and a six-month warranty for engine rebuilds, with the option of an extended 12 to 24-month dealer-level warranty, the latter at a higher cost. The company states it is a member of the IGA (Independent Garage Association).
