Should I rebuild my engine or swap it for an exchange engine?

If the main parts of your engine are sound, a rebuild is often the best value. If you need the machine working again quickly, an exchange engine can save time. We will tell you which makes sense once we have looked at it.

How long does a rebuild take?

It depends on the engine, the damage and the parts. You get a realistic time once the engine has been looked at, not a guess over the phone.

Do you rebuild tractor and plant engines as well as trucks?

Yes. We rebuild diesel engines for trucks, vans, tractors, diggers and other plant.

What should I tell you when I ask for a quote?

The machine, the make, the engine number if you have it, where the machine is, and what went wrong. The quote form asks for exactly that, so the first call is about your engine.

A worn engine is not a scrap engine

When an engine loses power, burns oil, smokes or knocks, the answer is not always a new one. A rebuild takes the engine you already have and puts it back to a sound, working condition.

For haulage firms, farms and plant owners that often means less downtime and less cost than buying a replacement. The engine is looked at first, and you are told plainly what it needs before any work starts.

What's covered
