FAQs

Welcome to our FAQ section, where we provide clear answers to common questions about Hutson Engineering Services .

Can a new, spare engine be built to protect the providence of my car?

Ultimately, yes, and this is becoming increasingly popular. A new engine also opens up the available enhancement options.

Can I just drop my car into you to have the engine work completed?

Strictly speaking no, not at present. We are a machine shop and engineering facility; however, we do have a trusted list of suppliers for mechanical and restoration services. We can manage the work for you, our you can deal with them directly.

Your pricing is much less than that of other specialists. How do you do this?

OK, firstly, we NEVER compromise on the quality of work we carry out or the parts used. The answer is simply experience. We know how long each process should take and charge a reasonable hourly rate for that labour. Our parts are either made by us or for us or we "cherry-pick" the very best components that meet our strict quality and price objectives.

My car is still undergoing a full restoration, but the engine is completed. Will my guarantee diminish before it is fitted/used?

No, not usually. HES engines are supplied with a 24-month guarantee (subject to specification). For vehicles that are undergoing lengthy restoration, the guarantee would start when the SORN is removed, and the road tax is renewed. With a maximum delay period of 3 years from the invoice date.

How do I get my engine to you?

It depends on location, but we have procedures in place for safe, global transportation. Contact us to discuss.

My garage has diagnosed a fault with my engine, can you advise them on what may be required?

Yes, and we can communicate with your mechanic directly. With extensive marque experience, we often recommend a course of action. Sometimes, something can be overlooked, and being pointed in the right direction can save on costly repairs. We are happy to help and don't charge for this service.

We are a restoration company, do you do trade work?

Yes, we do a lot of trade work. We can work with you directly, supplying images and updates for your client as required. We can advise on specifications and upgrades and build a bespoke package for you and your client.
