Donnelly Engineering

Hi, this is Tony from Donnelly Engineering. In response to the first three reviews written on here by the same person, I would like to say that this information given about me, my work and my ethic is completely false! We offer a full parts & labour warranty on all our work . Any legitimate claim we have sorted straight away . We have served over 22 years of quality workmanship and pride ourselves on it! In those years some 33,000 jobs , I can affirm that we have NEVER dishonoured a customer’s valid warranty claim. We also pride ourselves on competitive prices, and it shows as we have serviced and still service for major car & truck dealerships as well as over 800 businesses & private customers .

I came across Donnelly Engineering when looking for an engine rebuild on my 09 Prado which unexpectantly cracked a piston on our way for a 10 night trip to Fraser Is and Moreton Island driving up from Sydney.I had it towed from Lismore to Southport. I spent the most part of the day sorting out quotes ( one which was 2-3 weeks turnaround) and thankfully came across Donnelly from reading these types of reviews. I rang Tony, who spent a good 20 mins on the phone with me explaining what's done and had a itemised quote organised emailed within the hour. He sympathised with my car dilemma (4wd holiday with the family and now no car) and prioritised my job. He walked me through the workshop and explained the process. I managed to get to Moreton for 7 nights, while they worked on the car.Tony and his team bent over backwards to have my car back for my return trip to Sydney. He would give me a daily update including photos of the job. Basically did a full engine pull out and rebuild( including Pistons,head,injectors,turbo,radiator, ++++) in about 8 working days, whilst juggling existing jobs.I would highly recommend Donnelly Engineering for your engineering needs. They are a great family team who are professional in their dealings with clients, and are only too willing to help you out. I since found out Tony came in between 5am -6am some days to get the job done, and rang me on my way back to Sydney to check how we were travelling.Thanks to all the Donnelly team for all your hard work and professional attitude. Nice to see such ethics are still around.Andrew Walker(North Richmond,NSW)

Again thank you and we have no hesitation in recommending Donnelly Engineering to our many customers. Keep up the great work.... Mark Jackson, Steve, Chris & Mayra

We had an unusual request for the guys (old valves for use by the cricket club to peg down our wicket covers), but they were very helpful and went out of their way to assist. Excellent customer service. Would recommend them.Jeff PfaffPresidentGold Coast District Cricket Club
