Reconditioned-Engines UK

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

Conned by Engine Recon Ltd: Please everyone 90% cases of Engine Reconditioning or Supply & Fit there is fraud. Wish I could have read all this before becoming Victim of these scammers and the way they doing no one taking any action. It takes £30 to open a limited company in UK and such evil and devils have so many limited companies under various names but does the same things conning innocent public their hard earned money. Original quote was £1350 for reconditioning our Mercedes Engine and then asked £2125. £400 was taken deposit before starting work and after stripping engine then £775 more was asked for parts which we refused. They got gangsters sitting in their office which they either hired or part of same scam so people get scared and don't take it anywhere further. Stay away from all such characters. We were asked to pay £630 in total to pick up the car otherwise can't touch the car.

We done all recordings and due to that maybe they said ok take your car with £400 what you paid and no more we ask. Finally got the car recovered so lesson learnt: use trustworthy companies very local to you ideally get engine and get it installed by someone you know otherwise it's not worth this route. May these people be guided on right path. All the best!

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

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

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

Just found weve been done over by these too. But trading as vehicle Maintinance Uk And Europe LTD
The garage we visited was NST Autos and also Select Engine services.

Found them on ebay with an engine supply and fit sale post.

Took my sprinter in for an engine recon quoted at 2100 and asked for 750 deposit. They then didnt start on it for a month. When they did i recieved pictures of the big end and crank showing they were badly damaged. Our van didnt have a knock on the big end. They wanted 4250 to fix it which i said no to.

Ive then cancled the sale and had to pay 1300 in labour and recovery only to get the van back with the engine in a thousand bits in the back of the van

It gets worse... i marked our cillinder head when i fixed the black death... this doesnt have any marks. To top it off, the engine block is from a totally different sprinter as the number doesnt match our log book.

So they basically charged us 1300 to steql our engine block, cillinder head, fuel injectors, numberplates and most likely more.
