Saving Money By Using Remanufactured Engines

By Patrick Barnes


Many vehicles at some point will suffer a major breakdown and require repairs and often new parts to be fitted. In more severe cases a complete new power unit may be needed to get the car running. This can be very costly and there are many advantages when using Remanufactured Engines to get your car back on the road

A factory made engine for a modern day car will cost thousands of dollars and in some cases tens of thousands. There are firms now trading that will take an old or damaged engine and refurbish it to make it as new again. These units are environmentally friendly due to recycling of parts, will function just as well as a factory engine and are less expensive too.

There are a couple of options to choose from when deciding to use a remanufactured power unit in your vehicle. You can either purchase one from a company that is ready to be fitted or you can send your existing one and their technicians will do the necessary work on it. Both of these methods are a very cost effective way of getting an engine that is reliable.

Car spares shops can be found in most neighborhoods and these businesses will be happy to source a unit for you if they can. Engines for the majority of models of modern day car and some older ones will be available and ready to install. If they do not have a unit in stock they can place an order for one and will get in touch when it is in stock.

Another way to find a replacement power plant is to have a look at one of the internet based firms that trade in recycled engines. These web pages will list their stock for you to browse and if you order they will dispatch it for delivery to you. It is always worth calling or emailing them before finalizing your online order to ensure that what you are buying is right for your car.

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.

Nearly all of the engine remanufacturing companies will offer a guarantee of workmanship with their product. This may be a one year warranty or a mileage based guarantee depending on their terms and conditions. Any paperwork that details these conditions and guarantees should be kept in a safe place in case a claim has to be made at a later date.
