Money Savings When Using Remanufactured Engines

By Harold Davis


Every car will sometimes break down or fail and will need repairing by a technician. If the problem is serious it could be that you will need a new power unit to get the vehicle back on the road. A new one from a manufacturer is beyond many budgets and a good alternative is to buy remanufactured engines to save money.

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.

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 ship your unit to be fully remanufactured, you will require the services of a professional courier company and there are some things to be aware of. The price you will pay for shipping a car engine is probably going to be costly due to its weight. It should be noted that the unit should be correctly packaged for its journey and fully covered by a goods in transit insurance policy.

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.
