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.

There are a two ways of getting a remanufactured unit for your car and both have benefits. A ready to go unit can be purchased from a company that specializes in refurbishing or you can send your broken unit and have it attended to. Both of these options are much cheaper than buying a new unit from one of the car makers.

Auto spares stores can be found in most neighborhoods and they will be more than happy to source a unit for you for if they can. An engine for the majority of the major car models and some classics will be available and ready to install. If they do not have a unit in their stock for your car they can probably order one and will get in touch when it is in stock.

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 the firm does not have a unit you are looking for and cannot order one, they may often suggest that you send in your damaged unit and they will recondition it for you. They will do all of the mechanical work to make it operational again and will return it to you. Some of the engineers will have a collection vehicle and will pick up your car and deliver it back to you with the engine fitted.

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.
