Gaz, Fishburn

My Audi A6 Avant 2.0tdi suddenly lost all power and was engulfed in a cloud of white smoke. I got towed home and was in touch with the guys at Turbo PACS the next day. They arranged for my car to be collected from home, diagnosed the problem and got straight to work carrying out all the necessary repairs. New turbo, engine flush, gaskets, full service, road test etc.
The car is now like a new motor. It's quieter, more responsive and the power deliver is fantastic.
These repairs are never going to be cheap but I can't grumble with the price! People need to realise that in these situations you aren't just paying for the parts, you are paying for the years of knowledge and experience from experts in the field, that have a well deserved good reputation.
I would not hesitate to take cars back to Turbo PACS and would definitely recommend them to others.
Might even take my GSXR in for some tweaks!

Cheers guys!

Main dealers couldn't give me an accurate diagnosis for the turbo failing on my 2013 Bmw 118...not impressed. TurboPACS zoned right in on it within minutes and got the job to fix it for me...they know their stuff. Excellent job happy to recommend you.

Google this company before using, I wish I'd done so before letting these cowboys loose on my car as there are lots and lots of complaints about them. These other reviews are probably fake.....incompetent staff, without going into long technical detail my car needed to have the engine rebuilt after being here, do not use.

Frank Pattison - Quote from invoice Vehicle down on initial estimated power. Improved with fuel alterations however run aborted due to oil leak. Possible from sump to block plus internal engine noise concerning. Ex rally car engine trashed within an inch of its life !! Still have the pictures of the oil leaking from the engine when it came in... Much easier to blames others than maintain your vehicle correctly....

Ian, Tyne and Wear

Took my Honda CRV 07 CDTI to Turbo Pacs - Long story short, needed a new turbo. It was done with regular updates and with a great positive attitude to customer service!!! Also had a full induction clean - car feels like its come straight from the factory again! Improved MPG, quiet... awesome! you've got a returning customer, thanks a million guys!

Reply from: Marc, MD
It was shocking how the main dealer was unable to pin point the running fault. We spend a great deal of time working with our customers and not only explaining what we believe is wrong with their vehicle but also what may also "lurk" in the back ground and the estimated costs and solutions which is what we consider to be customer service... It very satisfying when this is noted... The vehicle drives like new and we are delighted we could help

Ian, Nottingham

Just getting back to you, after returning to Nottingham last night...basically: it’s all good!
As I drove away from your Unit, it was immediately obvious that the car had been transformed. Whereas, there had always been a dead-band between 20-40mph, the vehicle seamlessly accelerated, for the first time. Once getting on to the A1, is was as if the Propulsion System had been exchanged. I had driven up to you, in an underpowered diesel and was now returning home with a Gas Turbine.

It was a struggle to keep the car below 60mph, in view of having the Bike and Trailer on the back. Additionally, I was registering in excess of 25mpg on the info display, which I’ve never seen before.


In conclusion: what a transformation! Thanks to you and your excellent mechanics the job is a huge success.

Stuart, Peterlee

Thanks to turbo pacs for the work on the Mrs citroen c8. Said goodbye to dreadful DPF filter. The results after Mark and the team finished is excellent. The power difference is great compared to before, especially for a heavy 7 seater. Truly benefited from being in the hands of tuning professionals. Thanks again."

Andrew Shaw, Sunderland

Just to thank you again for the great customer service and job on my car (blue Bmw 118D M Sport) and to say that I'm very very happy with the result. The car is now better and smoother to drive, due to the extra 49bhp! And it hasn't affected the fuel economy either – great stuff. You answered all questions that I had initially and your knowledge and expertise was invaluable.

Tony, Durham

Just had my Mercedes 320 CDi remapped at Turbo PACS and checked before and after on their Dyno...great setup...then they serviced it...real attention to detail.Used many garages over the years and had numerous vehicles remapped and this is by far the best result and best service Ive had.
The garage is really tidy and has all the toys...the owners have been invloved in motorsport which is always a good sign...to many over night experts out there !!
I am happy to recommend these lads to anyone whos looking for quality and enthusiasm.

terrible workmanship and standards, customer service non existent, very rude when I complained about work and associated costs - Aviod!

Comment on other feedback, how can the same person under different names and locations place reviews recommending Turbopacs?

Graeme, Newcastle

Took my BMW M5 to turbopacs in Durham...great little specialist garage tucked away near the centre. Very helpful and hospitible..obviously enjoy what they do which helps. Took lots of time to advise me and the package agreed on was right on the nail...great service, price was great and the result superb. Would recommend anyone who wants to upgrade their car or just wants good service from a garage as they also do all the boring stuff as well !!

Owen, Darlington

I took my Mazda 6 to have the DPF removed last week at Turbo Pacs Durham. Mark and Anthony were very helpful and reassured me throughout the whole process. They both completes the job within a day and a half and were able to diagnose a boosting issue due to a vacuum leak in the vacuum chamber on the air box.
Despite what I can only describe as a mini strop I had due to how much the car has cost me, Mark still reassured me through the process and after getting the car back it feels more alive and boistrous, even more so than when it had a tuning box on previously.
These are two great lads who just want to help people with their cars to earn a living.
Clearly the negative comments have found another Turbo Pacs in Durham as these guys wouldn't do a bodge job, they kept my car for an extra day to ensure it was runnin right.

O and guys if your reading this, in 5th and 6th gear the car is boosting up to 30psi now. It hits 30 and drops straight down to 25 so I'm guessing it is dumping the extra 5 that it doesn't require.

Either way the performance is the best it's been.
