DO NOT be fooled by the tone of the replies from them.
Pretty words cover up lies and deceit. They are designed to get more money out of you. What starts out as a £2000 bill ends up as costing you more than twice of that. In some cases 10,000 for a car worth £4000. This is what they do for a living. Yes. I've no doubt there could be "some" good results from them. But check out just how many 1 star reviews there are.
If they think you are vulnerable watch out. It creeps up and up before you've even noticed. And it's all something these "experts" couldn't have seen coming. They've had my car for over 5 months and taken £5000 from me and now they want more. In the meantime the tax, mot and insurance has all run out not to mention a second new battery replacement because it's been left standing for 5 months. Extortionists. None of this is right. Do not risk going with these people. They are NOT what they appear to be. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM. For the sake of your self esteem and your pocket. They WILL fleece you. Left right and centre. And when you're not looking they'll get you from behind. I've had to forget my car. I've no choice now. They've taken everything I had. I'm disabled and a pensioner who been struggling to overcome cancer treatment. They saw I was vulnerable and they must have been rubbing their hands together with glee. I was led to believe they were "local" to me. I live in Birmingham. But they are miles away from being local. They don't have their address on the website. I had to request the address 4 times before I was finally given it. I've no doubt in my mind that they haven't done half the work they say they have on my car. I have no more money I can throw at them. I'm saddened by just how many people like myself that these people have done this to. And make no mistake. They do it with a smile on their faces while they are looking you in the eye. It's ALL fake. 😪

Has anyone used these in Manchester they sold an engine for me but I never received the money I've gone to the police

I've attached pictures. Sam guys I've check the FB group. Had £1900 deposit so far off my father for a rebuild. Let's see what happens

I have been quoted 6000 to reconstruct the engine. A deposit of 1000 paid was never returned ( they claimed that this is how much their work would cost to dismantle the engine) after I decided that I am recovering the car. This is outrageous! Apparently their terms and conditions cover them! Why do you call it a deposit if do not intend to return? Rip off! Run far away from this company!

My Range Rover was taken to Elite Engineering on Sunbeam Street, Wolverhampton in December 2020 for an engine repair. I was quoted £2900 and paid £1450 upfront. After 2 months of constant phone calls, I was sent a video of my car, minus the engine, and photos of parts needed, which were not from my vehicle. I was then informed the final cost would be £6200. Total scum! My vehicle was hidden somewhere when trading standards and the police visited on several occasions, looking for my car and a long list of other cars that have been 'stolen' by the Virdee brothers. Still ongoing for me to get my vehicle back and hoping they get what they deserve one day!

Sent my ford transit to elite engineering sunbeam street 11 week ago got collected from my home address, being told it will be ready within 2 week, 2 week went by i was told i would be updated with photos videos etc, NOTHING, tryed calling was told he would send me videos and pictures nothing, so i decided to do some research, and what i found was totally horrifying, prithpal virdee and jaspal virdee have been scamming an conning people out of there money and cars since 2010 changing there business name several times, later found out that they are due in court next year to over 20 fraudulent claims! I took matters in to my own hands an went down there an got my vehicle back! Please everyone do NOT send your vehicle here and if your vehicle is there! Then dont even waste your time ringing the police go down there an get back what is rightfully yours ITS THE ONLY WAY! There was well over 200cars there at sunbeam street all woth various parts missing and the the 200 cars plus that was there, there was 3 so called mechanics on site fixings the cars, the place is an absolute joke! Google prithpal and jaspal virdee all the info is on the internet... AVOID at all costs

Elite Engineering Group... Ranger needed a engine rebuild, 950 deposit, 1850 for parts 1769 final payment.
Still not returned my truck. They don't answer the phone or emails.
Please people don't use this so called business.
I paid a deposit into one account and all the other paid to a S Multani, apparently the owner!
Has anyone on here ever had their vehicle back! Or long shot got refunded.

Dont do for this company engines UK!
Lie people care full with them...
They say 7-10working days will be ready dont trust them! My car there is iver month nearly twoo mont and still not ready!

These guys took my Jaguar XF for a engine refurbishment, asked for £3000 to do the job, paid £1500 as a deposit. That's it. They sent me a picture of a knackard engine that wasn't mine but said it was, then asked for another £4500. I said can't afford it so they said they would sort something out. Not heard from them since despite countless calls, emails and post. The West Midlands police and Greater Manchester police both contacted along with trading standards. The Virdee family are the scum of the earth and hopefully will get a prison sentence. Keep well away from Elite Engineering and any other company operating out of Unit 16 Sunbeam Street Wolverhampton.

Send u photos of other engines ask for more money my camper I fetched it back after three months with passenger door lock missing door tied up side of van covered in grinding dust dash lights on jay said they would go out in couple of miles they didn't oil feed to turbo bad leak. They said if I repaired myself they would reimburse no will not answer phone. There are no words to describe these brothers and father Sam,!,!

Can anyone help I've been scammed by these creatures to has anyone had any success with getting money or car back there both going crown court on 22 February 2022

Sent my van for engine rebuild was quoted £1800 and a 10/12 day turn around. Waited over a month to be sent pictures of a totally ruined engine, on close inspection of the pictures I noticed it was not my van. Argued this and was told it was a mistake. Not a good start

Then a week later received pictures of my actual van and was told parts needed to be replaced. A few weeks later was then given a final bill of close to £4000. I paid the money and then fought for weeks to get my van returned.

When my van returned it sounded terrible and there was oil spots on my drive. Bumper also cracked in 2 places. I refused to except the van in the state it was in and had it taken back.

I was told it was the alternator and he fitted a new one at no cost.

Waited weeks trying to get my van back and after 90 days I lost my cool and sent him a blunt txt. He then got extremely rude and hung up on me and attempted to keep my van would not return it or give me an address to pick it up. I phoned the police and told him id reported the van stolen. After a while and many txts he finally gave me an address. The address was a religious center. I had videos sent off him of my van from inside his unit and managed to spot a parcel in the video with his real address Unit 16 sunbeam Street. I drove and found my van parked in a near carpark and he sent someone to deliver key. The key had been smashed. On driving the van back home the van now has electrical faults. I have paid them £4000 been without a van for 90 days, have a van with a damaged front bumper damaged key and electrical fault. Do not go near this garage its a scam all around the garage was cars dumped with no engines. Worst experience imaginable he is operating under elite engineering and has adds on ebay under mistpeakmedia. Review Feb 2021

Google the owners (Prithpal and Jaspal Virdee) and you'll find out everything you need to know. No Vat receipts either so further fraud.

I have just found that these scum are back trading on ebay yet again under the name equipetable. They have 1 feedback recently thats viewable that is for an engine supply and fit, which is most likely a relative who has just left the feedback. But all older feedbacks are for animal and pet supplies. So they are yet again using ebay accounts that already have established feedbacks to con yet more people out of their cars and money.

These disturbed individuals are conning people big time, I wouldn't trust them with my sons Tonka toy car.
Ryan is the front for this embarrassment of a company and I've heard they go by many different company names as well.
In short I got stung by their eBay advert at the time which was under ‘ Engines 4u' and surprise surprise it no longer exists. They obviously use false advertising to draw their victims in. I had a suspected Head Gasket failure. I spent approx £2800 with these thieves to refurbish my existing Ford Transit Custom engine. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE!
I then spent approx another £1600 sorting out their shocking unprofessional pathetic mistakes...
They originally promised turnover would be 2/3 weeks, it took these clowns 8 weeks to get my van back!
And that's only because I threatened them with legal action. But I don't know what clown they had who installed it back in, he did a proper cowboy job, damaged my power steering pipe, crushed my coolant pipe, wrong bolt placed with 3 washers around it!
Alternator bolt was not torqued correctly and became loose.
My A C pipe was hanging down and had not been attached correctly.
My AC is not working correctly and my heater is cold even when I put it on hot!
I will be reporting these rats to the Trading Standards.
