The Advantages Of Purchasing 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 major manufacturer's engine will cost a great deal of money depending on which model of car you own. There are now firms who can recycle old power units by disassembling and repairing them and selling them back on to customers. These reconditioned engines are often as good as factory units, much cheaper and are better for our environment as the metals have been recycled.

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.

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 option is to use a web based firm to source and supply you with a power unit. These online companies will have reconditioned engines listed on the pages and can dispatch them on an overnight service. If you use an internet retailer it is recommended that you send an email or call them before you order to ensure that the item you are ordering will be suitable for your vehicle.

When one of the supply companies does not have a suitable unit in stock or they cannot order one, they may ask you to send your failed unit in to them for attention. Their engineers can strip it down and carry out all of the mechanical work to make it fully operational. Some of the companies can collect your car and do all of the work on the engine before returning it to you ready to drive.

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 majority of companies will offer a workmanship warranty on the units that they work on. This guarantee will differ depending on which company you use and will either be time or mileage based. When the unit is returned and fitted it is important to keep the documents in case you need to get in touch regarding any failures with the engine.
