Every car, motorcycle and truck will suffer a breakdown or mechanical failure and will need repairing by a qualified auto technician. If the failure is serious, it could be that you require a complete new power unit, to get your vehicle back on the road again. A new engine from a manufacturer is going to cost a lot of money and another solution is to purchase remanufactured engines to get you back on the highway.

A brand new engine purchased from a vehicle manufacture is going to cost you thousands of dollars. There are firms that will now take your existing power unit, strip it down and rebuild it so that it functions as it should. Buying and installing one of these units will save a substantial amount of money and it is better for the environment.

There are a couple of ways to get a remanufactured engine for your vehicle and both have benefits. A ready to fit unit can be purchased from a supplier that specializes in refurbishing power plants or you can send your broken one to them and have it reconditioned. Both options are cheaper than buying a brand new unit from a vehicle maker and the unit will be reliable.

Auto parts stores can be located in most neighborhoods and they will usually be able to source a unit for your vehicle. An engine for the majority of vehicle models and some older classics will be available and ready to fit. If they do not have a suitable unit on the shelf they can place an order for one from their supplier.

Another way to locate a power plant is to look on the web at one of the engineering firms that are advertised. Their web sites will have a comprehensive list of stock for you to look at and if you order they will dispatch it overnight. It is useful to call or email them before finalizing your order to check that what you are purchasing is correct for your vehicle.

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 need to ship your unit by road to be remanufactured, you will have to use the services of a courier company, and there are some things to bear in mind. The prices you are charged for shipping an engine is going to be costly due the weight of the crate. The unit will need to be correctly packaged for its road journey and covered by goods in transit insurance.

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.
