From time to time your car or motorcycle will suffer a mechanical failure and in a few cases the fault will be a major one. If the problem is one whereby the power unit has failed then you may decide to buy rebuilt engines. By fitting one of these recycled units into your vehicle you can often make huge savings.

There are three places to search when looking for a replacement unit for a car, truck or bike and each have different benefits. Due to the fact that buying a brand new engine from a manufacturer is expensive many companies now offer this service. Most vehicles available today and many older models will have these units available for you to buy.

The savings that can be made by using one of these re-manufactured engines are huge. A small unit will cost approximately 1500 dollars rising to around 6000 for a larger more complex one. Most companies will offer either a mileage or time based warranty when buying from them and some will offer excellent after care service.

A good starting point when trying to locate a suitable power unit for your car or motorcycle is to visit your local auto store. Most of these stores will have many engines on the racks to suit and which are ready to go. One of the main advantages of stores such as this is that you will be able to seek guidance from their staff who will be available to assist in your search.

Another source is one of the many online based companies that have started up over recent years. Hundreds of websites are available for you to browse in the comfort of your home and most models are catered for. Some of these firms are much cheaper than the high street stores as they have fewer overheads and can offer lower prices but be aware that shipping costs will be added to the final price.

Some people will opt to search around local junk yards or reclamation sites to find a replacement engine. A lot of money can be saved by using this option and in many cases they will have what you are looking for and can take your old one away to rebuild and sell. Be aware that using second hand engines and components can be risky so it is advisable to have them inspected by an expert before buying.

Occasionally if an engine fails, a complete replacement unit may not be needed and a replacement part can be fitted. Most companies that offer engines for sale will also have head units, cranks and casings in their storerooms. Often when you are only replacing an item such as this it is good practice to take the broken one with you to compare and possibly exchange.

Fitting an engine into a car or truck can be a complicated and time consuming process and often requires specialist equipment. Although many home mechanics choose to do their own repairs it is always preferable to get a professional fitter to carry out the work. This ensures that any failure in the future will be covered by their guarantee of workmanship.
