What We Offer
We specialize in a wide selection of complete engines and gearboxes for a variety of makes and models, including Toyota, Nissan, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and more. Every purchase comes with a 3-month warranty and includes critical components such as the alternator, aircon pump, power steering pump, and turbocharger where applicable. This ensures that our clients receive not just a core product but a fully functional unit ready for installation.
In addition to supplying engines and gearboxes, we provide professional installation services and minor car repairs. Our on-site mechanics are skilled in fitting engines and transmissions with precision, saving you time and reducing the risk of costly mistakes.
