Hurley Engineering

[onelastpost]

Right lets get this back into perspective guys. The question was should he go to Hurleys for a service, no mention of rebuild etc, etc. I know many of you have had issues with Hurleys but as stated previously they need to rebuild some street cred and reputation. Are you honestly saying that they are not up to changing the oil and plugs? This guy is local for them and it seems a bit of a no brainer to put £100 of fuel in to travel to one of the other vendors for something an apprentice could do. If he travelled to WGT do honestly think Pip would be doing the service on the car or one of the less skilled workers leaving Pip free for what requires his skills.
 Just to really stir you guys up i am more than happy with the Hurley rebuilt engine thats running in my motor nearly three years since its rebuild and running over 550hp last year.

*playing devils advocate* so what all of you guys above are saying is that hurleys shouldnt get the chance to try and rebuild any reputation they previously had?

Sure they can... just not on MY car.

I will not even let them replace my valve caps, thank you.

I live 20 miles from Hurleys, suffice to say I\'ll be visiting either RE:Worx or Carl Hayward when I need help !

I\'m sure they are capable of doing a service, but they aren\'t laying a finger on my car.

If your just having oil filter and plugs changed, DIY is the way forward :chat

If it\'s only a service I wouldn\'t bother paying specialist prices, just go to your local garage.

or as mentioned diy

Top tip there indeed - also when you have done it once it only get\'s easier! :Thumbs-up

I usually do my Air filter (clean them as they are Apexi\'s), My Oil Filter, Oil & plugs.  I have yet to do my fuel filter as it\'s only been on 6k.

Gearbox & Diff I get pip to do when im up there just for ease.

Just to let you all know I did end up taking the car for its service there.

I have to say I was quite impressed, as I was expecting something total different. They seemed to know what they were on about and carried out all the work that was needed.

Also after leaving the garage I got a phone call asking me what I thought and how good the service there was and if there was any problems I should let them know and they would sort it. He said he had seen this post and explained himself perfectly.

I know it’s only a service but I would recommend this place from the treatment and the knowledge I received. I think what’s happened in the past should stay there and as said in a reply to my original post they are trying hard to build bridges.

Thanks again to everyone for replying and all your help and knowledge, It’s made my first rx7 experience a lot easier.

Thats good to hear :Thumbs-up

I totally agreee with letting the past be the past, people change, business ideas and practices change.  I work in an environment(the RAF) where we have a quality system as should all businesses.  In order to improve anything someone, some process ( someone!!) gets a good old slap around the face when a quality issue arises, However once they have been shown the errors or as we call it a "process failure" then they learn by that report.  We all have to start somewhere and making mistakes can be very costly but we all have to learn from them and build from there.  Hopefully, in fact not hopefully at all.....I know that Hurley\'s will always listen to the forum discussions and believe you me they will listen to everything said.  They out of any other company who advertises on here will be bending over backwards to make ammends and surely will produce a quality product no matter what it is.  They have so much to lose if they don\'t.!!!!!!
just to add though, if you have an RX7 then you must learn to do the basics in changing your consumables, its the very least you can do.  You will end up doing countless tasks anyway so you might as well learn to change your oils and filters.  This site will teach you the know how, its what its all about.

I\'m not being funny but to me it sounds like they just kissed your arse as they knew that you would post something negative and possibly damaging if you were the least bit unhappy.

i\'m willing to forgive them if they send me a cheque for the amount its cost me to rebuild my engine however. :Thumbs-up

Fair play!!  :Thumbsup!

I think it\'s refreshing to see someone give them a try - as there\'s been a lot of bad press about them (rightly or wrongly), and very good to see the excellent service provided by them shown to all the world. Great work!
