Benefits When Using Remanufactured Engines

By Anna Brown


Most cars will at some time have a mechanical failure which is going to need fixing. In some cases a repair cannot be done and a new engine may be needed to get the vehicle operational again. Buying a new factory unit will be expensive and there are many benefits of using remanufactured engines as a cheaper alternative.

A manufacturer's engine will cost thousands of dollars depending on what model of car you have. There are firms who can recycle old power units by disassembling, repairing and rebuilding them and selling them back to customers. These engines are often as good as a factory made one, cheaper and are a lot better for our environment as metals have been recycled.

There are a few of options for you to choose from when you decide to use a reconditioned motor. You can either purchase one from an engineering company that is ready to be installed or you can ship your existing one and their qualified technicians will do the work on it. These methods are an extremely cost effective way of getting a new engine that is going to be reliable.

Auto spares shops can be found in many neighborhoods and they will be happy to source a unit for you. Engines for the majority of major car models and some older classics will be available to install. If they do not have a compatible unit in their stock room they can probably place an order and will get in touch when one is in stock.

Another good way to find your replacement motor is to look at one of the internet based engineering firms that are trading. Their web pages will have a list of their stock for you to look at and if you place an order they will dispatch it overnight. It is worth calling or emailing the company before finalizing your order to make certain that what you are getting is correct for your car model.

If one of the firms does not have the unit you are looking for and cannot order one, they may suggest that you send in your unit and they will recondition it. They will do all of the necessary mechanical work to make it run again and will return it to you for fitting. Some of the companies will have a collection service and will pick up your vehicle and deliver it back to you with the new engine fitted.

When you use a shipping service to transport your unit for rebuilding there are some things to bear in mind. Courier prices are normally calculated by the weight of the item to be sent and so a car engine can be very costly to transport. It is essential to make sure that the unit it packed in the proper protective crate and covered by transit insurance in case of any damages or loss.

The majority of these remanufacturing companies will offer a workmanship warranty on the units. The guarantees will differ depending on which company you have used and will either be time or sometimes mileage based. When the unit is returned to you for fitting it is important to keep all of the documents in case you need to get in touch with them regarding any failures with the engine in future.
