Money Savings When Using Remanufactured Engines

By Debra Morgan


Your car at some point will suffer a breakdown and will require mechanical repairs and spare parts. In some cases a complete power unit may be required to get the vehicle back on the road. This can be extremely costly and there are many plus points of using Remanufactured Engines to get you mobile again.

A major manufacturer's power unit will cost a lot of money depending on which model you own. There are now businesses that can recondition an old power plant by disassembling and repairing them and retailing them back to customers. These engines are as efficient as a factory unit, cheaper and are far better for the environment as the metal parts have been recycled.

There are a few options for you to choose from when deciding to buy a reconditioned motor and fit it in your car. You can either buy one from a firm that is ready or you can send your existing engine to them and their engineers will recondition it. These two methods are a cost effective way of getting a new engine that is going to be very reliable.

You will find a large number of auto stores in many areas that can find an engine that will be suitable for your vehicle. All of the car models will be covered and if they have a unit in stock it will normally be prepared and ready to fit. If they do not have what you are looking for, they can order one in for you, and they will contact you when it is ready for collection.

A popular and useful way to find a power plant is to look on the web at one of the many engineering firms that now advertise their services. Their pages will have a full list of their stock for you to browse, and if you order from them, they will usually dispatch overnight. It can be well worth calling or emailing them before placing the order to ensure that what you are purchasing is correct for your vehicle.

If a company does not have a suitable engine in stock they will sometimes take your engine and recondition it. Their team of engineers will carry out all of the work needed to get it running before sending it back to you for fitting. Most firms will offer a service where they can collect your vehicle, attend to the power plant and get it delivered back to your home.

If you use a shipping company to send your unit for a rebuild there are some things for you to consider beforehand. An engine is a heavy item and will be expensive to ship due to the firms charging by gross weight of the package. Always make sure that everything is well packaged and find some insurance cover in case the crate gets lost or damaged.

The majority of the engineering businesses will offer a workmanship warranty on any units that they work on. These guarantees will differ depending on which engineers you use and will be time or mileage based. When the unit is returned to you and installed, it is important to keep the documents, in case you have to get in touch regarding any failures.
