A worn or damaged engine doesn't always mean scrapping the car or paying for a replacement unit. A properly executed rebuild — strip-down, inspection, machining where needed, and careful reassembly with new components — can bring an engine back to reliable running order, often at a lower cost than replacement.
At Tori Auto Service in Leyton, E10, engine work is our core specialism. Tahir Hussein Tori has worked in the motor trade since 2004, and since founding the garage in 2014 we've rebuilt petrol and diesel engines for cars and vans across East London — from everyday Fords and Vauxhalls to BMW, Mercedes and Audi units that other garages turn away.

Common Questions
How much does an engine rebuild cost?
Every rebuild is quoted individually after strip-down and inspection — the cost depends on the engine, what's worn and which parts are needed. We give you the full price before any work begins, and if a rebuild doesn't make financial sense for your vehicle, we'll tell you.
How long does an engine rebuild take?
It depends on the engine and parts availability. Once we've inspected the engine we'll give you an estimated completion date with your quote, and keep you updated throughout.
Can a damaged engine be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Many faults — worn bearings, head gasket failure, timing component damage — can be repaired or rebuilt for less than a replacement engine. We inspect first and give you an honest comparison of both options.
Do you rebuild BMW and Mercedes engines?
Yes. We work on all makes and models, including BMW, Mercedes, Audi and other German, European and Japanese engines, in both petrol and diesel.
