The Advantages Of Using Remanufactured Engines

By Anna Brown


Your car at some point will suffer breakdown and will require some mechanical repairs. In severe cases a brand new power unit might be needed to get the car up and running. This can be costly and there are some advantages when using remanufactured engines to get your vehicle back on the road.

A new stock engine from a major car manufacturer will cost thousands of dollars. There are a lot of companies out there who can now take out an old unit, strip it and remanufacture it. By fitting one of these engines into your car you can save a substantial of money and it is also kinder to the environment due to recycling.

There are a couple ways of getting a remanufactured engine for your vehicle and both have benefits. A ready to run unit can be purchased from a reconditioning company that specialize in refurbishing car engines or you can send your unit to them and have it attended to. These two options are considerably cheaper than buying a brand new unit from a major car manufacturer.

There are mechanics shops in most towns that can supply or find a car engine that will meet your requirements. All models of car will have a refurbished unit to suit and ready to be installed into your vehicle. If your parts store does not have units in stock they can quickly place an order and will notify you when one is available.

Another idea is to use a web based engineering company that deal in reconditioned power plants. These web sites will have pages of engines they have in their stock and they will usually be dispatched immediately. When purchasing a unit from an online company it is a good practice to speak with them before you order to ensure you are getting a unit of the correct specification.

If one of the firms does not have the unit you are looking for and cannot order one, they may suggest that you send in your unit and they will recondition it. They will do all of the necessary mechanical work to make it run again and will return it to you for fitting. Some of the companies will have a collection service and will pick up your vehicle and deliver it back to you with the new engine fitted.

If you have to employ a courier firm to send your old unit for a rebuild there are some things for you to consider. Car engines are heavy, bulky items and will be quite expensive to ship due to the shipping firms charging by the weight of the package. Always make sure that everything is securely packed and find adequate insurance cover in case it gets lost or damaged in transit.

Most of the companies who remanufacture motors will offer a guarantee on the product. Some may offer a one year warranty and others a 12,000 mile guarantee against failures. When you accept delivery your new unit the paperwork that comes with it should be retained in case you should need to contact them in future under the terms of their guarantee.
