Finding And Purchasing Remanufactured Engines

By John Hall


All vehicles will at some point suffer a failure or a breakdown and will need mechanical repairs and parts to be fitted. In more severe cases a complete new engine may be required to get your car up and running again. This can be costly and a cost effective alternative is to purchase remanufactured engines to get your car back on the road.

A factory made engine for a modern day vehicle will cost thousands of bucks and a lot more for some high end vehicles. There are many companies now trading that will take an old or damaged engine and recondition it to make it as good as new again. These power units are environmentally friendly, cheaper and will function as well as a brand new manufacturer power unit.

There are a few options available when you decide to use a reconditioned engine. You can either purchase one from a supplier that is ready to be installed or you can ship your broken engine to them and their engineers will do all of the necessary work on it. Both of these methods are a cheaper way of getting a reliable power unit for your car or truck.

You can find established mechanic shops in most towns and cities that can supply and install an engine that will suit your requirements. All models of vehicle will usually have a reconditioned engine that is compatible and be ready to be installed. If a local supplier does not have a unit they can contact one of their suppliers and place an order for one.

Another useful option is to use the services of an internet based engineering company to supply you with a suitable power unit. These web based companies will have many reconditioned engines in stock and they can dispatch them to you on a next day delivery service. If you use a web based supplier it is advisable to send an email or telephone them before you place an order to make sure that the item you are buying will be suitable.

If a supplier does not have a compatible engine in stock they will ask you to send your unit for them to recondition. Their team of engineers will carry out all of the work required to get it running before sending it back for fitting. Many companies will offer a service where they will collect your vehicle, work on the engine and deliver the vehicle back to you, ready to drive.

If you have to use the services of a courier firm to send your engine for rebuild there are some things to consider. Engines are very heavy and will be expensive to ship by road due to the firms charging by the gross weight of the package. Always make sure that the unit is properly crated and insured against damage or loss in transit.

The remanufacturing businesses will usually offer guarantees with their products. This may be a three year warranty or a mileage based guarantee. Any documents that detail the warranty should be kept in case you need to claim and you should inspect the unit on arrival.
