Reconditioned-Engines UK

The engine company based at Sunbeam Rd Wolverhampton. These people will cheat and con you, so beware and don't be fooled. My rebuilt engine was returned with the Alternator wired incorrectly, which discharged the battery and blew of the warning lights. The car was also returned with the wrong keys!
The AA were called out and once they got it going expressed concern with the engine, saying it sounded like it had piston slap. Drove the car carefully for the first 500 miles, changed the oil and filter, but during this time the engine smoked and breathed heavily. Driving back home having done about 700 the engine started to lose power and eventually came to a stop.
Car towed away and have been advised that the crankshaft has snapped in two with the whole engine destroyed.
I advised Jay (not his real name I've been informed) and his brother Manny with many calls and Whatsapp videos and messages. Totally ignored me!
Not sure what action I can take.
Please take heed and dont use these thieves.

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!

Scam send your vehicle never get it back overcharged, totally Avoid never do a bank transfer to these people I wouldn't even trust them too run a bath.

This is the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to cross paths with. They are keen to take your deposit of £700 and then promise to call you with all the vital information, for example, when your car could be picked up, where it is going, when you can pick it up and where from etc. Unfortunately, once they have your money it then all falls apart. They just take it upon themselves to make arrangements without your consent or knowledge (and even for a day when the car is not available despite telling them that) They ask you to sign away your cancellation rights and their terms of business are hidden on a page that has an error on it so they are very difficult to find. They are also trading under more than one name, UK Engines, Smart Engines and Reconditioned Engines. Within 12 hours of me signing the terms of business they did not answer their phone (the sales line is available but not after sales) they ignore emails and just go ahead and charge you £295 when you try to cancel for "admin" charges. They are now withholding not only my £295 "admin" charge but they also refuse to give back the £405 of the £700 deposit despite having raised a credit note to refund this to me and they are ignoring all my correspondence and their phone still does not get answered! I am having to pursue them through my credit card company. These people are cowboys and I would highly recommend steering clear!

Top guys to deal with, took longer to finish the job due to delay in parts but other then that job is perfect, well priced, happy with them overall

Keep it up lads

Do not use this company!

Looking for help.

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

Do not touch this company!
They're scammers!
So far they've had fortunes from innocent people who desparatly need their cars fixing!
But PLEASE BE AWARE, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR CAR FIXED, JUST RIPPED OFF FOR LOADS OF MONEY, AND YOUR CAR REMAINS THE SAME!
TRADING STANDARDS ARE AWARE OF THIS /THESE COMPANIES WHICH ARE OPPERATING AROUND THE COUNTRY with their scams.
It needs people like us to sort this so please feel free to message me and we can share intelligence what has been collated.
THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED!
There's gotta be more victims so please feel free to share.
I've found this company has connections in Bahrain too, it's endless, it's gotta be stopped.

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!

I have lost my campervan and 2762 pounds, after a so called engine reconditioned. I have been without my campervan since feb 6th 20 until now. Avoid this lot at all costs.

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.

I can't believe these criminals are still at it - The Virdees - Sunbeam Street in Wolverhampton. Crown Court trial in Feb 2020 let's hope they go down for a long time.

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

Have pursued through the courts and addresses in Dudley and Devon are both fictitious so you will never get any money back.
Avoid them!

Same story,
I had my land rover discovery 4 with them more than 5 months now.
No money no car.
Please help

Could anyone tell me there new location please? These guys have got my car and wont returning it. Dont even where abouts in the country it is in

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

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

Do not use. They are nasty, nasty people with zero honour and zero integrity. Email me for more information. *******@yahoo.co.uk

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

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.

Reported to trading standards and police
Avoid like the plauge

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
