Powering South Africa'sAutomotive Industry
From humble beginnings in Potchefstroom to 6 branches nationwide — nearly 30 years of trusted engine and gearbox solutions.
Built on Quality, Driven by Passion
Engines Unlimited was founded in 1995 by Jan Jacobs in Potchefstroom with a simple mission: to provide South Africans with reliable, quality engines and gearboxes at fair prices.
What started as a small operation has grown into one of South Africa's biggest importers of quality engines and gearboxes. Every engine is thoroughly inspected for performance reliability before sale.
Over the years, we've expanded our reach across the country. Today, we proudly operate 6 branches in Sasolburg, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ermelo, Kimberley, Polokwane, ensuring we're always close to our customers.
Our mission remains the same: to be the leading supplier of new and second-hand engines and gearboxes in South Africa, with unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
