We manufacture all our propshafts and their component parts from our specially adapted premises in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. If you need a standard propshaft it’s likely we’ll have the item already in stock so can despatch it immediately. If you need a customised propshaft we can work to your specifications, or design the right propshaft to meet your needs. All propshafts come with a 12 month warranty and are manufactured using components which are of a ISO 9001-2008 specification.
We provide a complete repair service for all types of propshaft. Because we carry a large stock of propshafts and components, we can offer a fast turn-around to minimise the time your vehicle is out of use. We can also re-tube all sizes of propshaft, providing the standard factory welding.

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers are saying
A nationwide service, providing high quality propshafts and expert advice to both individuals and businesses.
On most truck drivelines you will find an intermediate propshaft and Scania trucks are no different. Sometimes referred to as the 'mid-shaft' or a 'centre bearing shaft', the intermediate propshaft is identified as the propshaft with a centre support bearing.
In week 10, we took a quick look at our first propshaft centre bearing of the series. We covered the main components of a centre bearing and how they operate within a propshaft.
Universal Joints are a common sight when it comes to Propshafts and are easily identifiable by many people in the automotive trade. However, if you’re someone who has limited experience with Propshafts, let alone the individual components, sometimes it can feel like you’re fumbling around in the dark.
Volkswagen’s mid-size luxury SUV, the Volkswagen Touareg, has been produced since 2002 and its popularity seems to suggest it’s following the sales trend for SUVs across Europe.
Scania Interaxle Propshafts (or “Bogie Propshafts”) are found on Scania tippers between the two back driven axles. It is quite common for these to fail due to the amount of stress they are under, so we quite often see these props in pretty bad shape.
