Born From the Workshop Floor
Crate Engines Australia is the culmination of expertise and passion for automotive engineering. Founded by Lucas Drabsh — starting as a part-time operation in 2016 under Parts Factory Australia — the business quickly grew into a full-time operation driven by a mission to provide reliable, high-quality crate engines across Australia.
With a background in wrecking yards and engine machining, Lucas and his team recognised a gap in the market. Too many buyers were stuck choosing between overpriced dealers and unreliable second-hand engines. Crate Engines Australia was built to change that — offering brand new, professionally assembled engines with transparent warranties and nationwide shipping.
Today, we supply crate motors to mechanics, workshops, and everyday Australians — direct from our QLD-based warehouse to your door.
"Our mission is simple: to provide customers with superior crate engines that exceed expectations in performance, reliability, and value."
