Bell Engineering Ltd

Bell Engineering are the absolute best!
I assumed from the noise getting louder from the back of my car I needed a new rear diff. After reading the many, many glowing reviews which suggested there was nowhere better than Bell Engineering I naturally booked it in with them.

The online booking system is awesome. It's a very easy process and the reminder text and email is a nice touch.
As soon as I arrived with them they took my car for a short drive, then put it on the ramp.

I'd already read that they have such a high level of knowledge they can identify problems quickly but seeing them demonstrate this was incredible! It took no time at all for them to show why they are the best. They reassured me that my diff was OK and that it was the way the tyres had worn which was the cause of my noise. I was shown the wear and how it occurred was described to me in a way I could understand.

I'm certain that most businesses similar (but inferior) to Bell would have just replaced the diff and charged me accordingly so it was refreshing to not be ripped off. I fully expected to be charged for the full 2.5 hour slot I'd booked but this wasn't the case.

I wish more businesses were like Bell Engineering. They're friendly, honourable, skilful, knowledgeable and customer focused.
As my Freelander gets older, I'm sure I'll have the pleasure of letting them fix it! For the services they offer I wouldn't think of taking it anywhere else even though they're 130 miles away!!

15th August 2022 -Very friendly and professional service received. Staff were very honest with their diagnosis, having already been told by another garage that it was likely to be wheel bearings or prop shaft. It was found to be neither and down to issues with my rear tyres. Whilst there on my request they serviced, the HALDEX unit on my vehicle. Happy with the price of this service which was completed in under two hours. I was also provided courtesy vehicle whilst they completed the work. All in all, a very happy customer.

Great family business who do exactly what they say on the tin. I travelled over 100 miles based upon their reputation and I wasn’t disappointed. My Freelander 2 is such much happier with the recon Transfer Box fitted. I can’t recommend these highly enough. Thanks very much.

Professional, fast and efficient diagnosis. Not only has the fault been rectified but they saved me over £2000 compared to quote by Land Rover Dealer!
Well done and thank you.

Spoke to Austen via Facebook and he booked me in the next day.. When I arrived they gave me a curtesy car so that I could go get breakfast as I waited.. There’s not many businesses nowadays that look after you like this and it was well worth the 3 hour drive there and back.

Hi folks. Happy New Year etc.
I just wanted to write to call out the amazing service I received from Bell Engineering just before Xmas.
I was having a dog of a time trying to get rid of a horrible “grauching” noise at low speeds when turning.
Local garage charged me £550 to change diff oils etc but made no difference.
A bit of research suggested the Haldex was the issue.
Time to call in the experts…
A 220 round mile trip to Bell Engineering proved to be time and money well spent.
They have the Haldex a “proper” service and replaced the oil (the garage I normally use had used the wrong oil) and sorted out an issue with the seal.
£220 all in and Freddie is as good as new!
If anyone is else is having similar issues do give Austin and family a call, they absolutely live and breathe Freelander transmissions so if anyone can help you, it is them!

Had haldex service.had binding shudder problems before. But after I took it to bell engineering. For service and check all good been over 3 years now no longer a issue. Freelander 2 sd4

Really pleased with full haldex service. Only place to take your Landrover Freelander 2 to be worked on. I heard that one person is bringing his car over from France shortly to be worked on! Not easy to find - it's Leafy Lane Cottage not big open premises.
