The trust problem

Engine rebuilding, with proof you can see.

Fake parts sold as genuine, hidden markups, swapped components, endless delays. Gaaribaan replaces zabaani trust with proof you can see.

Common risk: fake parts

Genuine parts, proven

Riken/NPR rings, genuine bearings and gaskets — with the actual purchase receipts shared with you.

Common risk: hidden markup

Direct workshop partnership

Precision machining is done by Standard Automobile Engineering. Your quote separates machining, parts and labour so you can see what you are paying for.

Common risk: swapped parts

Your old parts come back

We photograph the parts as they come out and send them to you on WhatsApp. Your old parts are returned on request.

Common risk: no warranty

A real guarantee

6 months / 10,000 km. If the fault returns we redo it free — and if we can't fix it, your labour is refunded.

Precision engine work

A real rebuild — not a tune, not an engine swap

Every engine is stripped to the bare block and rebuilt to factory tolerances at Standard Automobile Engineering. Here's exactly what's involved.

  • Block deck resurfacing / re-facing
  • Valve seat cutting & head skimming
  • Con-rod reconditioning & line boring

Genuine parts fitted

  • Pistons & rings (Riken / NPR)
  • Main & connecting-rod bearings
  • Full gasket & oil-seal set
  • Valves, guides & valve springs
  • Oil pump, water pump & thermostat
  • Timing belt / chain kit

Assembly & QC

  • Bearing clearances set with plastigauge
  • Every bolt torqued to spec
  • Rotating assembly balanced
  • Supervised run-in & warm-up
  • Oil-pressure & leak-down test
  • Final road test + written report

Know what you are paying for

A rebuild quote you can check, line by line.

Compare the scope as well as the total. Machining, parts, labour and guarantee terms should be clear before you decide.

Before you choose a rebuild

  • Which machining operations does this engine need?
  • Which parts and brands are included in the quote?
  • What is covered, for how long, and on what terms?
Use the same questions when comparing any workshop.

The guarantee

Your rebuilding guarantee, in writing

A guarantee only means something if it's specific. Here's ours, in plain words.

6 months / 10,000 km

Every engine rebuild is covered for 6 months or 10,000 km — whichever comes first — on the parts and labour we supplied.

Fails? We redo it free

If the same fault returns within the warranty, we fix it again at no cost — pickup included. No arguments, no “thora aur paisa lagega”.

Unresolved fault? Labour fee refund

If we genuinely can't resolve the covered fault, we refund your labour and service fee. Payments follow the milestones agreed before work starts.

Covered
Genuine parts we fitted Machining workmanship Oil leaks from our seals Assembly faults
Not covered
Accident damage Neglect / running it hot Unrelated electrical faults Parts you sourced elsewhere

Your guarantee is written on your warranty card in plain terms — so there's never an argument later.

Proof, not promises

Trust you can check yourself

We're new to the web — but not to engines. Everything we claim, you can verify before you commit.

FAQ

Aap ke sawaal, saaf jawab

Straight answers to what every customer asks before they trust a workshop.

Do you change my engine, or rebuild mine?+
We rebuild your own engine — we never swap in a different one. Your block, crank and head are stripped, machined back to factory tolerances at Standard Automobile Engineering, then reassembled with genuine parts. Our rebuild is covered for 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first, on the parts and labour we supplied.
How do I know the parts are genuine?+
We fit genuine or OEM parts (Riken/NPR rings, genuine bearings and gasket sets) and share the actual purchase receipts with you. We photograph the parts we remove and send them on WhatsApp. Your old parts come back on request.
What exactly is the guarantee?+
6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first, on the parts and labour we supplied. If the same covered fault returns within that period, we redo the work free. If we genuinely can't resolve it, we refund your labour and service fee. Payment follows the agreed milestones.
How long does a rebuild take?+
A full engine rebuild is typically 4–5 days, depending on machining load and parts availability. You get a clear timeline up front and photo updates at each stage on WhatsApp — no endless "kal aa jao".
Will my parts be swapped or stolen?+
We photograph the parts as they come out and send them to you on WhatsApp, and your old parts are returned on request — so you can see exactly what came off your car.
Do you work on my car?+
Suzuki (Mehran, Cultus, Alto, WagonR, Bolan, Swift), Toyota (Corolla, Vitz, Yaris, Belta), Honda (City, Civic), Daihatsu and more. Send your car model, year and engine details on WhatsApp so we can confirm suitability.
How much do I pay, and when?+
You get an itemized quote and approve it line-by-line before any work starts. Payment is milestone-based and finalised on satisfaction. We accept Raast, JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank transfer, or cash.
Do you pick up my car?+
Yes — free pickup and drop-off anywhere in Lahore. You never have to leave your car at a roadside workshop and hope for the best.
Where is the workshop?+
Our engineering bay is Standard Automobile Engineering at Shop # 22A, Shadiwal Chowk, Samsani Road, Lahore — a real address you can visit. See the map below.
