The Benefits When Buying 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 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.

There are a couple of options to choose from when deciding to use a reconditioned power plant in your car. You either buy one from a company that is ready to be fitted or you can ship your existing engine to them and their technicians will do all of the required work on it. These methods are a very cost effective way of getting a new unit that is going to be reliable.

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.

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.
