Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you cover for gearbox repair and reconditioning?
Based in Darwen, Lancashire, we offer a nationwide collection and delivery service, making it easy for customers anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales to use our services.
What's the difference between gearbox repair and reconditioning?
A repair fixes a specific, identified fault (e.g. a worn synchro or a gear that won't engage) and carries a 6-month unlimited-mileage warranty. Reconditioning is a full strip-down and rebuild with new bearings, seals and synchros, carrying a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.
How long does a gearbox repair or reconditioned unit take?
Turnaround times depend on the fault, parts availability and our current workload. Many repairs are completed within a few working days of receiving your unit, but please call or message us beforehand for the most accurate turnaround and lead time, as these can fluctuate.
Do you fit the gearbox or just supply it?
We can repair or recondition your unit and return it to you for fitting, or we can fit it for you in-house at our garage in Darwen, Lancashire, or at one of our approved fitment centres near you.
What makes and models do you work on?
We specialise in Renault, Vauxhall, Nissan and Mercedes manual gearboxes, as well as vans such as the VW Transporter, Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato. We also cover many more makes and models, including a wide range of campervans and motorhomes. If you're unsure whether we can help with your vehicle, please get in touch.
How do I get a quote?
Simply call or WhatsApp us on 07498 378216. We're open 8am–8pm, 7 days a week. The more details you provide about your vehicle and the fault, the quicker and more accurate we can make your quote.
