Rated 4.8 by drivers across Birmingham

We have built our reputation on doing engine work properly and being straight with people. Here is what our customers say, straight from Google.

  • Honestly would never go to another garage again. Dave at CR Auto Engineering is an absolute legend. His depth in knowledge about my car was unbelievable I'd even go to say better than the main dealers. My car went in with a suspected head...

  • Great set of blokes, good customer service and professionalism. If you’re tried of stubborn rude mechanics, this is the place to go. Had a cylinder head pressure tested and reconditioned, no complaints

Why it matters

A full workshop under one roof

Engine work needs proper equipment and the experience to use it. We have both, here in Aston, which means every part of the job stays with us from start to finish.

  • Everything in-house

    The strip, the machining, the rebuild and the road test all happen in our own workshop, so nothing waits on anyone else’s schedule.

  • One point of contact

    You speak to the same team from the first phone call to the moment you collect your vehicle. No messages passed along a chain.

  • Straight answers

    Because the work is in front of us, we can tell you exactly where your vehicle is up to whenever you ask.

  • Work we stand behind

    Doing the whole job ourselves is why we can put a warranty on it and mean it.

  • All makes and models

    Petrol and diesel, cars, vans and light commercials, across every service we offer.

Don't just take our word for it

Had my diesel Transit remapped and the difference is night and day. Pulls much better when loaded and I’m getting noticeably more to the tank. These guys know engines properly.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

 
What does CR Auto Engineering do?

We are engine specialists based in Aston, Birmingham. We recondition and rebuild engines, supply and fit new engines, skim and pressure test cylinder heads, remove seized and snapped glow plugs, and carry out ECU remapping. All of it is done in our own workshop, and we have been doing it for over 50 years.

Do you work on all makes and models?

Yes. We work on petrol and diesel engines across all makes and models, including cars, vans and light commercial vehicles.

Where are you based?

Our workshop is in Aston, Birmingham, easy to reach from across the West Midlands including Solihull, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and Coventry.

Is all the work carried out in-house?

Yes. The strip, the machining, the rebuild, the remap and the road test all happen in our own workshop. That means one team who know your vehicle and one point of contact from your first phone call to the moment you collect it.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our work is covered by warranty, and full terms are available on request.

My engine has failed. Do I need a recondition or a replacement?

It depends on the damage. Sometimes reconditioning your existing engine is the better answer, sometimes a new engine makes more sense. Tell us what has happened and we will give you an honest view of the right option for your vehicle.

Can you help if another garage has diagnosed a problem?

Absolutely. Plenty of our work comes from drivers and garages who want an engine specialist to take a look. Send us the details and we will tell you what we can do.

How do I get a quote?
