The Advantages Of Purchasing Remanufactured Engines

By Harold Davis


Most vehicles will from time to time suffer a major mechanical failure at times which will need fixing. In some cases repairs cannot be done and a brand new engine will be needed to get the vehicle operational again. Buying a factory built unit will be very expensive and there are many benefits when using remanufactured engines as a cost effective alternative.

A factory produced engine for a modern day car will cost thousands of dollars and for some high end vehicles, in excess of tens of thousands. There are many firms trading that will take old or damaged engines and recondition them to make them as new again. These units are environmentally friendly, a lot cheaper and will usually function as well as a stock engine.

If you choose to buy a reconditioned engine there are a couple of places where you will find what you are looking for. A unit can be purchased from a local auto company that will be ready to install or you can send your damaged engine for a full rebuild. Both of these options will save you a substantial amount of cash when a replacement is necessary.

There are a number of auto stores in most towns and cities that can source an engine that will be suitable for your car. All of the major car models will be catered for and if they have a suitable unit in stock it will normally be ready to install. If they do not have what you are looking for, they can easily order one for you, and they will then contact you when it is ready for collection or delivery.

Another useful way to find a replacement power plant is to look on the internet at one of the many engineering firms that advertise. Their web pages will have a full list of stock for you to browse and if you place your order they will usually dispatch it overnight. It can be worth calling or emailing them before finalizing the order to make sure that what you are buying is correct for your model.

If one of the companies does not have a suitable engine in stock they will sometimes ask you to send your unit in for them to recondition. Their team will carry out all of the work needed to get it running and then send it back to you for fitting. Many companies will offer a useful service where they can collect your car, attend to the engine and get the vehicle delivered back to you.

When you use the services of a shipping service to transport your unit there are some things to bear in mind beforehand. Courier prices are usually calculated by weight of the items to be sent and so engines can be costly to transport. It is very important to make sure that your unit it packed in a protective crate and covered by adequate transit insurance in case of any damage or loss.

The engine remanufacturing firms will usually offer some kind of workmanship guarantee with their product. This could be a one year warranty or in other cases a mileage based guarantee. Any official documents that detail this warranty should be kept safely in case you need to make claims at a later date after a major failure with the unit.
