“I would give them a 0 star if I could. They will rip you off for absolutely everything - they by their spare parts USED off of EBAY then blame the fault on you. They try to take advantage of all clients and charge thousands. They are liars and unqualified technicians. Each diagnostic day by day changes and the price goes up and up. The attitude is awful, they talk over you. And to top it off, the advisors there don't even have a driving license themselves!!”
“I previously had my engine rebuilt by A1 Engines and it was a shamble from start to finish. Came to these guys and it was £500 cheaper than the first build and zero issues with the build, very happy now.”
“DO NOT read peoples opinions, these guys managed to finish my car very well. Be under no illusion, I had a full engine rebuild and it cost me a lot in terms of what I earn but I don't do things by halves so anyone I hire for a job cant be doing things by halves either. It took three weeks in total, so a bit longer than expected but the quality is the same as my friends BMW reconditioned engine which he had done a month before me by BMW for a total of £8249.56. Was going to take that route until I found these guys, I went down to their place, had a frank chat, liked the way it was presented to me, like that they have a separate office from the workshop which is professional and went ahead on a estimate of £1795 + vat. After inspection I did expect quite a few things needed doing, internal and external to the engine. Total quote with my deposit after inspection ... £3896.75, massive saving. So After going ahead with a further deposit and reading reviews and getting abit worried that the quality will not be as good as my friends BMW. Albeit two weeks go by, I collect the car, gave it a good run and its absolutely spot on. Update: My friends BMW failed through the turbo, he took it back to BMW, they said the turbo is not included and was in good condition when they did the job so it was attached to the reconditioned engine at the time and in order to have a new turbo fitted they would like £1765.34, on top of the 8 odd grand hes already spent, I felt angry for him. And guess what, my total cost of £3896.75, included a OEM quality reconditioned turbo which comes with a 12 month / 12k warranty. So I thought I would come on here and alert people about the Main Dealers (MAIN STEELERS in my opinion) as there is no way the turbo could have been in 'good' condition and then failed within two weeks and he was supposedly paying more for a more thorough job ? In my eyes, a thorough job is getting everything done in one shot hence why Ive come on here and the first thing I've said is, the opinions of sheep does not matter. Go with these guys, they are honest when they quote you, saying they need to strip down and inspect before giving a final figure, quite rightly so because I could have so easily been in my friends shoes, more than double the figure down, having a non running vehicle but somehow its supposed to be OK because its BMW ? Well its not and I had to share our joint experience with you all. Good day.”
“I bought a very bad Mini from auction a few weeks ago, chain went and damaged most of the engine. Cheapest quote I could get with the turbo was £4,000, Engine reconditioners quoted me £1395.00 and after inspection was £3300 overall, so saved £700 in total, new timing chain kit with a full build and turbo is ALOT stronger now, very unhappy about even having to pay out but cannot fault these guys for putting it right. Thank you office team, workshop and accounts.”
“Disrespectful staff
Give quotes and then triple them when you've paid your deposit.
argue with you and then end up surrounding you with for 5 employees to intimidate you.
Didn't even bother to replace the gas in the air conditioning. It was working before I gave it to them now it's not working when I got my car back finally after 2 months.
Damage the car, the boot interior and passenger seat.
I do wish I did not use them and I strongly advised not to use them.
Now a positive part, did manage to save me a bit of money on my car but I personally think that that's just part of the scam service.
The car does run fine and I'm happy to get my car back.
But I strongly suggest going to a different car garage.
Also
Yes I do believe that most of the comments are fake.
Trust me after £3,000 I'm not happy possibly seeking legal action.”
“I have a 20-year-old BMW which I am very attached to, but the engine was starting to let the car down. I know the straight 6 uses oil but mine was drinking it & starting to blow smoke out the back. After some searching, I came across Siam Autocentre (engine reconditioners). A small family run business specializing in performance engines, who when approached were straight up & honest. The first question I asked was what is the ratio for rebuilds to turn out to be pigs. Like I said got an honest answer & opted for the full rebuild, which for them was fairly straightforward.
On completion, their road test threw up lots of unforeseen issues with the engine management. This ended up meaning they had my car for longer than expected, but give them their dues, they persevered & eventually got there.
The engine is now better than new drives amazingly & I am one happy customer.
A big thanks to the team great bunch of employees, first-class works at reasonable prices.”
“brought my Nissan pathfinder into these guys as it needed some TLC as I use it for a lot of action sports and like most people, after reading the reviews I was a little skeptical but the guys here put all my worries to bed and now my vehicle is back with me running like brand new!
Thank you once again, guys”
“Got a problem with my car and had to recover it to Sian Autocentre.
Took 5 days to check and tell me that the start motor was bad and took 2 days to have it fixed. Staffs are very rude on the phone and unhelpful.
I would never recommend anyone going here.
Crooks as they quote are out of this world.”
“❌⛔️ AVOID ❌⛔️
Fake comments!! They scammed us & cost us over £6000 & left us with our engine in 1000’s of pieces! We filmed with the bbc because of these crooks!!”
“I would recommend sian autocentre repair to anyone without a doubt! Very professional and reliable. The best customer service and reasonable prices. My go to auto shop from now on!!!”
“THE BBC DID A DOCUMENTARY ON THEM

“Had real problems finding someone with machinery and knowledge to complete a rebuild on my 645ci. This car is my pride and joy, I visited them first and was blown away with the kit they had in their shop. The process did take longer than expected but my only other option was a secondhand engine and who know with that. My car runs like a dream and thanks to you guys, I cant express how good the car runs now.........well done guys”
