Finding And Purchasing 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.

You can find established mechanic shops in most towns and cities that can supply and install an engine that will suit your requirements. All models of vehicle will usually have a reconditioned engine that is compatible and be ready to be installed. If a local supplier does not have a unit they can contact one of their suppliers and place an order for one.

Another way to get a remanufactured engine is to use an online engineering firm that supply power units. Their web sites will have a list of the engines they have in their stock and they can be dispatched overnight after you have placed the order. When you are purchasing from one of these online firms it is a good idea to contact them beforehand to make certain you are ordering the correct unit.

If a reconditioning company does not have a ready to fit unit they may ask you to send in your damaged unit. They will do the mechanical work required to make it operational again and will send it back to you. Some firms may have their own collection vehicle and they can pick up your car and deliver it back to with the engine already fitted.

If you have to use the services of a courier firm to send your engine for rebuild there are some things to consider. Engines are very heavy and will be expensive to ship by road due to the firms charging by the gross weight of the package. Always make sure that the unit is properly crated and insured against damage or loss in transit.

The majority of remanufacturing firms will offer a warranty on the units that they have worked on. These guarantees will differ and will either be time or mileage based against failures in the future. When the power unit is returned it is important to check it and keep the documents in case you need to claim against warranty.
