ARA Engine Reconditioning

Don’t skip this review!! I very strongly urge anyone considering this company to be cautious and it’s very important to consider this review when deciding whether to trust ARA Engine Reconditioning with your car and money.



I recently had my car's engine rebuilt by ARA Engine Reconditioning in December 2024, followed by a routine service in January 2025, which we did specifically to uphold the warranty. After the service, a week later, whilst driving the car along the highway, it lost power and caught fire, rendering the car irreparably damaged.



While I was unable to determine the exact cause of the fire due to the extent of the damage, I want to note that I had driven this car without issue for seven years prior to this event. After reaching out to ARA, they have stated that they are not liable for any compensation or responsibility related to the incident and wiped their hands clean.

My experience has been nothing short of disastrous, and it is extremely concerning that they refuse to take any accountability. Do your research and be VERY AWARE OF THE RISKS before trusting this company with something as important as your car and money.

I have had a great experience with this business, my car overheated and broke down on me, I was in the Parramatta area and gave them a call, they immediately were able to come to tow my car and were able to diagnose the issue in their workshop. They were all friendly and professional and I got my car back relatively quickly. Appreciate it, thanks guys.

From the start, the team provided me with a quote, and I was pleased that the price didn't go up during the process. The team was professional, and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what needed to be done. I was also impressed by how well the workshop was presented. Thanks ARA team.

My engine blew while driving, they towed immediately and tended to my engine. I found ARA knowledgeable and professional.

Very dissapointed with the quality and service. I had to go back 4 times to have the issues with my engine sorted. Ended up costing 3k over what was originally agreed.
