These guys removed the snapped glow out my my BMW M57 engine for £120. I took the car to them with the glow plug already snapped off. The electrode was stuck in, so wasn't able drill into it, without the correct tools.
They removed the glow plug (which I'm informed came out in many bits, then put the new one in with a helicoil. The car has been driving perfectly since (3 months later).
They took on the job on even though it had already been started and had became very tricky, they kept the price the same as they initially quoted and finished by the originally specified date. Even though, I suspect

These guys were great. Had an engine mis-firing issue on my 6cyl BMW - 2004 [M54 engine]. the problem could have been a myriad of issues - CR Auto diagnosed the problem down to two coil packs and resolved it within a couple of days. Very reasonable price - it felt like they were doing completely reasonable daignosis and repair that they would have done if it were their own car.

Dave and his team are friendly, highly professional and certainly know their stuff when it comes to engines and engine rebuilds. I can only highly recommend their work, technical advice and fully trust them from work they have done recently on my BMW. Their knowledge of the N47 BMW is second to none.

These guys are absolutely top notch from start to finish. Young Dave spent hours with me on the phone explaining things to the smallest detail and talking through my concerns, They had my car and performed a top notch full engine rebuild and gave me updates along the way, These guys are knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest!
They told me what the problem was, Told me what was going to happen step by step and let me know what was going on the whole way through!
I've had the car back for three week and honestly, It's smoother than it was

Absolutely fantastic service from Dave and Dave! Had an M3 with a flooded engine. Had a phone call initially setting out a rough estimate, and a plan to move forward with rebuilding. Throughout the rebuild process, I was kept informed of progress, and had parts suppliers recommended to me as we decided to upgrade the engine. The car runs sweet now, and the time and effort put into it was outstanding. All for a very fair price! Can't fault anything about this place! Its ran by knowledgeable, honest people who really love cars! I would recommend this place to anyone in need of engine work, fantastic

Professional , friendly and timely service from these guys who kept me informed every step of the way and even arranged the recovery for me . Would definitely recommend .

Every now and then you find guys like these. Knowledgeable, honest, who gave me an estimate and charged less because it was a bit easier than envisaged (when does that ever happen). They also fixed and flagged a few other things that they found along the way. These guys know what they’re doing. Highly recommend.
