Donnelly Engineering

Tony's a good bloke. He gave me his honest opinion, a fair quote and my job was done in good time. I'll definitely be recommending him to others.

Tony from Donnelly engineering is only interested about taking your money and as soon as some of his dodgy workmanship rears it's head he does not want to know about it. He completey ruined my V8 and came up with every excuse under the sun to get out of fixing the dodgy work he did.

Donnelly engineering has completely ruined my head and it is constantly leaking oil through the valve stem seals / valve guides. Tony from Donnelly engineering will not honour his warranty and was completely abusive. He claims it was my rings. Took the head to another mechanic and he replaced the valve stem seals and fixed the problem straight away and actually gave me a warranty unlike Donnelly engineering. I would not let them even work on my lawnmower again.

Got my bottom end and head rebuilt from Donnelly engineering, spent $5000 the valve stem seals are leaking on one of the cylinders, this can be cleary seen by the smoke blown on startup and the oil on the spark plug. When i showed Tony from Donnelly engineering he said it was fuel and then poured a bottle of stop leak in when he didn't think i was looking, and told me to drive around for another 1000km's and tried telling me my oil was to thin a grade, when it is what is recommended in the owners hand book. He then also claims i was doing burnouts outside his workshop on a day when i was not even in the state of Queensland to try and get out of fixing his mistakes. Don't make the same mistake i did by using Donnelly Bark Yarders!!!
