Quick service & high quality!

Have had my cars with them a few times & always had quick service. Price is always reasonable in comparison to other mechanics but quality is always high! Would recommend.

DO NOT USE!!! Avoid at all costs. Total scam.

# In addition to my original review, this scam garage has now been reported to and is being investigated by the National Fraud squad. Still refusing to provide receipts for £3765 worth of parts they have allegedly installed and refusing to return my vehicle and threatening to sell it.

Had my car delivered to Dagenham on 14/03/2024, only collecting it tomorrow, 25/04/2024, told it would be a 14 day max turnaround.Totally expecting to breakdown on the way home tomorrow. I used the EngineTrust.co.uk app to allow garages to bid for the work. Danny seemed the most reasonable at £3495. The final price is £8200, and the worst bit is he’s now refusing to provide invoices for the £4K+ parts “I had to have”, clearly using secondhand parts. I have now engaged a solicitor and have made a report to trading standards. YOU WOULD BE MAD TO USE THIS CONMAN!!!

Hi Matthew, we see that you are still attempting to find a way not to pay your outstanding invoice and have still failed to collect your vehicle for a second time, it has been explained to you that the engine itself is under warranty for 6 months by ourselves, no company passes its own invoices from their suppliers to its customers, it is absurd that you believe this to be reasonable, in instances where customers need any auxiliary items like batteries or alternators etc we are happy to supply copies of those as we are not giving a warranty on those items, all evidence of parts used has been sent to you as you are well aware, if you had any doubts at all about the quality of parts used you could have purchased them yourself, it is odd that you have only decided that these parts are "second hand" now that your final invoice is payable and not at the time of purchase when you were welcome to come to the workshop to view them prior to or during the rebuild of the engine. The vehicle has not even been driven by you as you have failed to collect it therefore these allegations have arisen in your own head, leaving companies bad reviews does appear to be a hobby of yours but we suggest you actually test the goods first P.S you may wish to let ' the national fraud squad' know that our doors are wide open from 9AM until 5.30PM Monday to Friday

Be aware of this garage!

Ridiculous service and a great business to scam with all the parts and material - but no proof of purchase or invoice. Non-VAT business but charging VAT

Engine Reborn responds to all genuine customers by referencing customer names with the vehicles which we have worked on, as you can see by all of our responses to our customer reviews.

I would recommend Danny’s services if you need an engine replaced. I unfortunately bought a 2nd hand focus where the engine cylinders were shot and it needed a full top up of oil even after short runs and emitted clouds of black smoke. I had already spent a lot of money trying to resolve the issues and was faced with having to write off over £2000 if I scrapped the car but it was otherwise in very good condition. If you don’t use Danny’s services then you either take a huge risk installing an engine from a breakers yard or pay several thousand pounds for a remanufactured engine - I wasn’t keen on this as had spent a lot already replacing ancillaries like coil packs etc. Danny also replaced the clutch just for the cost of the parts. He also gave me a good deal on other ancillary issues that came to light. Just bear in mind that where parts are too damaged to be reconditioned you will be liable for those parts on top of the core fee. Danny did inclusive diagnostics and was very responsive. I feel like I now have a car that should last several years and the 6 month warranty is good for peace of mind.

Fairly good company

Fairly good company. Had hydro locked my engine and these guys did worked a miracle. Of course it cost me more than the initial quote, however almost 75% of the engine needed brand new parts. It took longer as well, as some parts, needed to be imported from Germany. Overall, my car is running now. Hopefully it will stay this way.

Cheers guys.

Engine on my VW T5 in a bad way

Engine on my VW T5 in a bad way, so decided on a rebuild with Engine Reborn Ltd after reading their reviews.

Unfortunately once engine was out and stripped down, it became clear damage was extensive and would require a lot of new parts.

They gave me the costings for new block liners, cylinder head, conrods,oil pump, turbo and EGR. I decide to go ahead as only alternative was brand new engine.

Work was carried out swiftly, with photos and videos being sent to me by Whatsapp to keep me updated. Labour charges for all the extra work were very fair.

Done around 1000 miles now and engine seems to be running great. Hopefully will turn out to be as good as a new one.

Thanks to all who worked on the van. John

hi John, thank you so much for taking the time to write a 5* review for us, your VW T5 camper van 62 plate was indeed in a bad way so we are really glad that you persevered and allowed us the chance to show that we can revive even the worst cases, the team here at Engine Reborn will be delighted to hear that all the hard work and effort put in is paying off for you, we don't like to see perfectly good vehicles going to scrap and often the prices of a brand new engine are just too much for most people, we hope that we give people an alternative that keeps them on the road in their much loved cars vans and trucks for many more years. Our ethos is in keeping our customers updated at all times so we are really happy to know that we are reaching our goals, good customers need good customer service :) many thanks

Engine Reborn did a great job fitting a totally reconditioned engine following a disastrous blow out on our arrival back from France after a 10 hour drive. Mubi kept in touch throughout the process both on the phone and by email. The engine has now run in without any problems and in addition he fitted a refurbished hybrid battery . Always polite and helpful with the first service provided the day I asked for it. The price was reasonable and the job was done in good time. Electrical problems were quickly resolved although Toyota themselves have been less than helpful in resolving a false warning problem. Thanks for doing a great job

Best one in nearby

OMG! If your car /van is damaged, go to Engine reborn Ltd Repairs, and they will do a fantastic job.
The staff were friendly, Danny made me feel reassured, and he explained to me what he and his team would do.
The price was great and affordable!! when I got my van back, it was looking 'Brand Spanking New!' Even better than when I bought it!!
They finished the job on time as I needed the van to go on a job again.
Yes, I would definitely recommend you to use this service!
Great job guys many thanks!

Hi Tom, This is just a malicious statement to make now, in addition to your previous racist comment, Trustpilot have their own system of vetting emails and its quite easy to verify by clicking to see other reviews people have left elsewhere, we will not act as your scapegoats just because you failed to change or fix your vans additional problems, which incidentally you could have had done somewhere else, your van had a very high odometer reading of 162907 so for a diesel it is not uncommon for the DPF to be completely blocked especially at this kind of mileage.

My car had a serious problem after the timing belt snapped the engine was totally ruined, my local Honda Dealer quoted £18,000 to put it right I obviously told them where to go and started to surf the internet for a solution, with in a very short time I was contacted by Danny at Engine Reborn Ltd. Who said they could fix my car for £2495 they got the job, they arranged collection of my vehicle from Leicester and transported it to Essex.
Once my car was received they started to work on it only to discover the cylinder head was cracked therefore impossible to be able to seal it up.
Engine Reborne offered to replace or gave me the opportunity of tracing my self which I did.
It was then discovered that certain parts were missing unfortunately these were very difficult to find but Danny persevered and eventually found the parts he required and the job was completed.
I found Danny to be a straight up front guy who knew his business inside out. My car is running like a new one, I have no problems of endorsing this company 100% trust them with your vehicle you will not be disappointed

Hi Graham, :) Thank you so much for taking the time to write this 5* review for us, we received your engine already dismantled from Honda main dealer, it is always hard in this type of case as we have to take out and check through all the parts they have loaded, we are so glad that we were able to find the parts needed that are in scarce supply for you, just taking that extra little bit of time to look can make all the difference, your 2017 1 litre petrol engine Honda is a great car that we are really happy to have put back on the road, some might have given up on it which would have really been a shame, we are really glad to add that by giving you the choice to find some components yourself we were able to work together which shows our commitment and our communication ethos is working ***** many happy miles ahead

Transit Engine Reborn

Danny and his team did a great job on repairing my transit engine after the cam belt snapped.
Danny is very knowledgable and communicative which is appreciated when sending a truck off to an unknown company.
I paid a lot more than expected, due to additional works needed, but was advised at every step and Danny did what he could to try and keep costs down.
Great guy and would recommend him.

Hi Brooke, thanks so much for your 5* review we really do appreciate you taking the time out to write it, your Ford Tipper did need additional parts which were external to the engine, these parts namely your injectors, turbo, and other external parts were mainly sourced from Ford main dealer meaning that you had total cost transparency and peace of mind, also by doing so we believe that you have done all you can to protect your newly rebuilt engine, we are more than happy that our communication with you was appreciated as we really try our very best with this aspect as each job is different ***** Happy driving & heartfelt thanks for being such a great customer
