The Benefits Of Using Remanufactured Engines

By Patrick Barnes


All cars will at some point break down or fail and will need repairing and maybe certain parts replacing. If the failure is more serious it could be that a new engine is needed to get the vehicle back on the road. A new power plant from a car manufacturer is beyond some people's budget and so an alternative is to buy Remanufactured Engines to save money.

A brand new engine from a car manufacturer can cost many thousands of dollars. There are companies out there who can take an old unit, strip it down and rebuild it so that it operates as it should. By using one of these engines you can save a lot of money and it is also friendlier to the environment.

There are two main ways of obtaining a remanufactured engine for your car and both have their benefits. A ready to go unit can be purchased from a company that specializes in refurbishing engines or you can send in your unit and have it repaired. These two options are significantly cheaper than purchasing a brand new unit from a car manufacturer.

There are stores in most towns that will be able to supply or find an engine that will meet your requirements. Most of the popular models of car will have refurbished engines made to suit and ready to be fitted into a vehicle. If your store does not have a unit in stock they can place an order for one and will notify you when it is available.

An alternative way is to use one of the many online companies that deal in recycled power plants. These sites will have pages of engines that they have in stock and that can be dispatched immediately. When buying a unit from an online company it is a good idea to speak with them beforehand to ensure you are ordering one of the correct specification.

If a firm does not have in stock the unit you are looking for they may request that you send them your old unit and they will refurbish it. They will do all the necessary work to make it function again and return to you for installation. Some companies have a vehicle collection service and will pick up your car and deliver it back with the engine already fitted.

If you need to use a courier to send an old unit for refurbishment there are couple of things to consider. Engines are heavy items and will be fairly expensive to ship as shipping firms usually charge by weight. Always ensure that the unit is securely packed and source adequate insurance in case it is lost or damaged in transit.

The majority of the companies that refurbish power plants will offer a warranty on their units. These guarantees will differ depending on which firm you select and will either be time or mileage based. When your unit is returned to you it is important to keep all of the documentation in case you need to contact them regarding any future failures with the supplied engine.
