Classic Car Engine Rebuilds & Mechanical.

We specialise in classic VW engine rebuilds, but also undertake engine work for other classic cars and bikes — plus the rest of the car made right: brakes, suspension, steering, fuel, exhaust and electrics, all carried out in-house at our Mansfield workshop.

What's included

What we can take on.

Whether it's a single job or the whole car, we inspect first and quote in writing. Where work is better done by a trusted partner — rolling road tuning, for example — we arrange it and keep it in one place for you.

How we work

Diagnose, agree, then do it.

01 — Look and listen. We check the car over, drive it where we can, and find out what it actually needs.
02 — Quote in writing. A clear estimate of labour and parts before any spanners come out.
03 — Strip & inspect. Engines and gearboxes come apart, wear gets measured, and you get photos of what we find.
04 — Machine & rebuild. Components machined in-house, then rebuilt properly and set up to run.
05 — Test & handover. Run up, checked, road tested where possible, then handed back clean with anything you should know.
