Money Savings When Using Remanufactured Engines

By Harold Davis


Your vehicle will at some point suffer a major breakdown and will require new mechanical repairs and spares to be fitted. In some severe cases a complete new power unit may be required to get the car back on the road. This can be very costly and there are some advantages when using remanufactured engines to get the car up and running again.

A new engine purchased from a car manufacturer will cost many thousands of dollars. There are companies out there who can now take your existing unit, strip it and rebuild it so that it will function as it should do. By installing one of these units into your car you can save a lot of money and it is also kinder to the environment due to the recycling process.

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.

If you need to use a shipping firm to send your unit for rebuild there are some important things for you to consider. A car engine is a heavy, bulky item and will be fairly expensive to ship due to the firms charging by weight. Always ensure that everything is well packed and find insurance cover in case your crate gets lost or damaged in transit.

Most firms who refurbish car motors will offer a guarantee on the product. Some offer a mileage based warranty and others a time based guarantee against failures. When you accept delivery, the paperwork that comes with the unit should be retained in case you should need to contact them under the terms of these guarantees.
