Company for engine work near Derby

[Brent Hoffmeister]

My VW T5 Camper has developed a death rattle and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions for garages specialising in work on diesel engines in the Derby area or a bit further afield.

My go to for engine work is usually Service Garage Borrowash but they’re booked up at the moment so looking for reliable alternatives.

TIA

For VW i'd say sunset vw on parcel terrace in Derby

other option is Brian at https://powerhouseturbo.com/ , they do a bit of everything

Thanks for the quick. Sunset are great unfortunately they’re another local garage that’s very busy. Have contacted Powerhouse turbo.

Would welcome further recommendations especially for diesel engine specialists

Its a bit further afield but darkside developments in Barnsley do alot of T5/T6 engine work. Depending on the state of the engine issues though they might just suggest a crate replacement.

I use Sunset and they are good but would imagine they would also want to go down the crate engine route as they are so busy they would not want a van taking up their limited ramp space for days/weeks on end.

Probably not as mainstream but I have used:

LV Car Repairs And Servicing Derby

They swapped downpipe and turbo on my golf R and have rebuilt a friends Audi auto gearbox so not afraid of a challenge.
