Avoid, not honest people

I took my Range Rover in for an engine replacement due to severe knocking, they charged me £8700 for the job but they didn’t do as promised and lied when they said they had changed the engine, showing photos of an engine next to my car but never with an empty engine bay.

The car was returned with the same engine, I’m guessing they figured they could patch it up with a temporary fix. It had the same oil filter full of metal debris in it, which is fatal for a car.

They are literally conmen like so many in the Range Rover engine rebuild industry are. There are positive responses here but please don’t believe them, all the negative reviews have a lot of similarities to my experience. Avoid like the plague.

Hello James,
We believe you are grossly mistaken in leaving this review for our company. Can you check again if it is actually our company (based in IG11 0SH) that worked on your car. We have never done any work on a car booked in by a James Butterfill. Can you provide an invoice of the works we are supposed to have done on your car please. If not, we would appreciate if you delete this review and post it to the company responsible for the work done on your car. Thank you.

I had a terrible experience

I had a terrible experience. Paid £4,795 + £180 towing, then pressured into paying another £1,200. Engine failed within 5 months, and they refused to honour the warranty.
This business trades under multiple names (Global Engine & Gear Boxes, Rover Engine Specialist, Engine Professional Ltd) to dodge bad reviews.
Avoid at all costs. Totally unscrupulous.

Dear Bridge,
Sorry to hear of your experience, but it could not have been with us as we have not had any customer named Bridge Woods in the past 10 years. Can you provide us more details of who you are so we can see if you an actual customer of ours and address your concerns. If not then this is just another attempt to malign us, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Likely tax evasion and very poor performance

Never fixed the engine
It worked temporarily
Then failed
then worked again
then failed
then worked again - and then gearbox failed
In the end, I took the car away by tow truck and got rid of it. They helped me part-exchange the car as a working car but said don't drive it too far as it might fail again.
They charged me a fortune in the end and they take cash only - not card. They didn't tell me that in the first place. Stinks of fraud frankly
So they do a poor job, charge a fortune in cash and they have refused for about 8 months now to even send me a proper report of what they found. This is the dictionary definition of cowboys and girls.

Hi Abu, as explained to you previously innumerous times, your car came to us for an engine replacement which we replaced but it also had gearbox issues which were not related to the engine and you were well advised of that. So to come out now and cynically say that we did not properly fix your engine and putting out baseless allegations against a reputed business is quite dishonest to say the least. The engine replacement was done perfectly fine and the car had no error codes related to the engine, which you well know yourself.

Who to choose when searching the internet?

It’s always very worrying when you are trying to chose a Company to recondition your Range Rover (or in my case), Jaguar engine. So many pitfalls out there! Companies lie, make up false reviews…..it’s so difficult to know what to do. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.
That’s just what I did with Global Engines & Gearboxes, trading as Range Rover Engine Specialists.
I am very happy with the result. The Jaguar engine purrs like it came out of the factory. Car was cleaned inside and out and I was given comprehensive care instructions, not just for the next 1000 miles, after which I would need an oil change and filter change, but also recommended service and oil change intervals in future. (Which wouldn’t benefit them as I am over 150 miles away).
At the moment, I can’t fault the service.
Well done Guys. Please don’t take it the wrong way, but I hope I won’t be back anytime soon!!
Thanks.
