What we do

Three jobs. All of them engines.

Plenty of garages will change your oil and back away when the engine gets serious. We do both ends of it — the routine service and the strip-down that follows if it is left too long.

01

Engine rebuilds & repair

Head gaskets, timing belts, turbos and full strip-down rebuilds. We diagnose what actually failed, then quote it. If it will not run, we collect it.

Servicing

Oil and filter, interim and full servicing, done properly and priced on your registration. Nothing extra gets touched without a phone call first.

Why us

No guesswork. No mystery invoices.

Engine work goes wrong when nobody measures anything and nobody writes the price down. We do both, every time.

  1. 01We find the fault before we quote, so you are not paying for parts that were never the problem.
  2. 02Every job is priced in writing before a spanner goes near the car.
  3. 03Quality parts only — OE or OE-equivalent, and we tell you what is going on the car and why.
  4. 04Everything we do carries a 3 month parts and labour warranty.
  5. 05Nothing extra gets done on a service without a phone call first.
  6. 06If a repair costs more than the car is worth, we say so instead of starting it.
  7. 07You deal with the person working on your car, not a service desk.

How it works

From first phone call to keys back

  1. 01

    Tell us what it needs

    Registration and mileage, plus the noise, the warning light, the service that is due, or the engine you want gone.

  2. 02

    We look properly

    A booked service slot, a diagnosis, or a strip-down inspection if the engine has already let go. We collect the car if it cannot be driven.

  3. 03

    You choose from real options

    Service, repair, rebuild, or a price for the engine as scrap — with costs, in writing, before anything is committed.

Customer portal

Watch us work on your car

Garages have a reputation for vague explanations and bills that appear from nowhere. So we photograph the work, write down what went in, and put all of it behind a sign-in that is yours.

Photos of the work
The failed bearing, the worn bore, the new parts going in. You see what we saw, so a bill never arrives as a surprise.
Where your car is up to
Booked, stripped, waiting on parts, or ready to collect — without ringing to ask and getting told someone will call you back.
Every job we have done
What was fitted, what it cost, and the invoice. Worth having when you come to sell the car.
Your warranty, in writing
The 3 month parts and labour cover on each job, and the exact date it runs to.

Opening shortly. Ask us to set your account up next time the car is in, and you will sign in with your email — no password to forget.

5-Star Service! After visiting four different garages in Leicester who couldn’t diagnose the issue with my car, I found Ben — and I’m so glad I did. Even on a bank holiday evening, he said, “No problem, let me come and take a look.” He arrived promptly, was very professional and extremely polite. He connected his tablet to my car and quickly identified that the AC pressure sensor wasn’t working. Not only did he diagnose the issue, but he also checked the sensor and fixed it on the spot. I couldn’t be happier with the service. I’ll definitely be using Ben again. Huge thanks for sorting the problem!
