What They Say.
A few words from Benalla locals and engine customers. Snippets shown, read the full ones on Google.
After a bad experience with a previous engine builder, I was reluctant to trust anyone else. After talking with Matt, Chantelle and Jett it was obvious my engine was in good hands. A few weeks later, my V8 was back to me all sorted and running a treat.

The team at Benalla Engine Reconditioning helped get my 4x4 back on the road at short notice after a sudden breakdown left me stranded. The owners and mechanics are an absolute asset to the local community. I cannot thank them enough for the professionalism, work and support they provided.

About us
Meet Matt & Chantelle.
We’re Matt and Chantelle, and we took this place on more than five years ago.
We started small, with a willingness to graft and a belief we could do it better. Long days. Working things out as we went. Keeping the doors open one week at a time.
That work ethic still runs the place. Every engine, every service, every job gets the same attention to detail. We do the job right, and we stand behind it.
What we’re most proud of is the customers who keep coming back, the locals who send their mates our way, and the workshops that trust us with their engines. That backing is what built this business.
Five years in. Just getting started.

FAQ
Common questions about brake repairs.
Anything we have not covered, give us a call and we will sort it.
Squealing, grinding, a longer stopping distance or a dashboard brake warning are the common signs. Many cars have wear indicators that squeal when pads get low. If you are not sure, we will inspect them and tell you straight.
