Searching For And Buying Remanufactured Engines

By John Hall


All cars, trucks and bikes will suffer from mechanical failures at certain times and they will need fixing by an auto engineer. In some cases a repair cannot be carried out and a new engine will be required to get the vehicle working again. Buying a factory made power unit is very expensive and there are benefits of buying remanufactured engines to get your transport back on the road.

A factory made engine for a modern day vehicle will cost thousands of bucks and a lot more for some high end vehicles. There are many companies now trading that will take an old or damaged engine and recondition it to make it as good as new again. These power units are environmentally friendly, cheaper and will function as well as a brand new manufacturer power unit.

There are a few options available when you decide to use a reconditioned engine. You can either purchase one from a supplier that is ready to be installed or you can ship your broken engine to them and their engineers will do all of the necessary work on it. Both of these methods are a cheaper way of getting a reliable power unit for your car or truck.

Auto parts stores can be located in most neighborhoods and they will usually be able to source a unit for your vehicle. An engine for the majority of vehicle models and some older classics will be available and ready to fit. If they do not have a suitable unit on the shelf they can place an order for one from their supplier.

Another useful option is to use the services of an internet based engineering company to supply you with a suitable power unit. These web based companies will have many reconditioned engines in stock and they can dispatch them to you on a next day delivery service. If you use a web based supplier it is advisable to send an email or telephone them before you place an order to make sure that the item you are buying will be suitable.

When a company does not have a unit in stock, and they cannot order one, they will ask you to send your unit in for them to recondition. Their qualified team of engineers can strip it down and do all of the required mechanical work. Some companies will collect your vehicle from your home, recondition the engine, and bring it back to your address.

If you need to ship your unit by road to be remanufactured, you will have to use the services of a courier company, and there are some things to bear in mind. The prices you are charged for shipping an engine is going to be costly due the weight of the crate. The unit will need to be correctly packaged for its road journey and covered by goods in transit insurance.

Most firms who work on car motors will offer a guarantee on their finished product. This will either be a mileage or time based guarantee against future failures. When you take delivery of your remanufactured unit it is essential that you inspect it and keep the paperwork that comes with the unit in case you need to contact the company under the terms of the guarantees offered.
