Quality-checked engines and gearboxes, sold directly, delivered nationwide.
TorqueDepot is a single-vendor marketplace based in Springbok, Northern Cape, South Africa, supplying tested used, refurbished and new car engines and gearboxes. We list every unit with its exact engine or gearbox code and condition, test it before it ships, and back it with a clear warranty and a written return policy — so you know exactly what you're buying and what happens if something goes wrong.
Our Story
Sourcing a used engine or gearbox is one of the most stressful parts of getting a vehicle back on the road — buyers are often left guessing whether a part actually matches their vehicle, whether it has been tested, and what recourse they have if it doesn't work out. TorqueDepot exists to remove that guesswork.
We operate as a single-vendor business: every engine and gearbox listed on this site is sourced, tested, and sold directly by us — not by third-party sellers on a marketplace. That means one point of contact for fitment questions, one warranty policy that actually applies to your purchase, and one team accountable for getting your order to you correctly.
We're registered with the CIPC (registration 2021/114346/06) and operate out of 12 King Street, Springbok, Northern Cape, South Africa, from where every order is quality-checked and dispatched.
Why Choose TorqueDepot
Six reasons customers trust us with a part their vehicle depends on.
Compression & Leak-Down Tested
Every engine and gearbox is compression and leak-down tested before it ships, so what you see on the spec sheet is what arrives at your door.
Nationwide Delivery
In-stock units are dispatched within 48 hours from our warehouse in Springbok, Northern Cape, to anywhere in South Africa via freight courier.
Real Warranty Cover
Used units carry a minimum 3-month warranty; refurbished units carry up to 6 months from delivery — covering internal mechanical failure under normal use.
Clear, Written Returns
A straightforward 14-day return policy with no hidden conditions — read exactly how it works before you buy.
Direct Support, No Call Centre
You reach a real person by email or WhatsApp for fitment advice, order status, or a quote — not an automated queue.
Single-Vendor Accountability
We are not a listings marketplace for third-party sellers. Every part on this site is sold and supported directly by us, so there's one point of contact for your entire order.
How We Operate
A clear look at how ordering, quality-checking, shipping, and returns work from start to finish.
What We Sell
We supply used, refurbished and select new car engines and gearboxes for a wide range of makes and models. Every listing states the exact engine or gearbox code, condition, and mileage (where applicable) it was sourced from, so you can confirm fitment against your vehicle before ordering.
How We Quality-Check Every Unit
Before any engine or gearbox is listed for sale, it goes through compression and leak-down testing (engines) or bench-shift testing (gearboxes). Units that don't meet our internal standard are not listed. This is the same testing standard behind our warranty cover.
How Ordering Works
Checkout on our site reserves your item and captures your shipping and billing details — no payment is taken online. Our team contacts you directly to confirm payment and finalise the order before it is dispatched.
How Shipping & Delivery Works
Once payment is confirmed, in-stock units are dispatched within 48 hours from our warehouse at 12 King Street, Springbok, Northern Cape, South Africa. We ship nationwide across South Africa via freight courier — engines and gearboxes are palletised for transit safety. A flat shipping rate of R 1 499 applies to most orders, and orders over R 60 000 ship free. Major metros typically receive orders within 2–3 working days of dispatch; outlying areas may take up to 5 working days. You'll receive a tracking number by email and WhatsApp as soon as your order leaves our warehouse. Because engines and gearboxes are heavy freight, someone must be available to sign for the delivery, and offloading may require a pallet jack or forklift — see our full Shipping Policy for details.
How Returns Work
You have 14 calendar days from your purchase date to request a return. Full details — including who pays return shipping, refund timing, and what happens with damaged or incorrect items — are on our Return Policy page.
