What Is a Rebuilt Engine?
A rebuilt engine is a remanufactured used engine which has been disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and put back together with quality new or rebuilt components to restore it to OEM performance specifications.
Unlike used engines purchased “as-is” without knowledge of problems, rebuilt engines are taken through a rigorous process, replacing worn-out parts and restoring all tolerances to their factory settings.
Why Select a Rebuilt Engine?
✅ Savings: Rebuilt engines save 40–60% of the cost of a new engine but provide comparable reliability.
✅ Reliability: All parts are inspected and replaced where necessary, providing a dependable engine for your vehicle.
✅ Warranty Protection: Our engines are warrantied, which is a common problem for most used engines since they are sold without warranty.
✅ Eco-Friendly: Engine core rebuilding recycles, lowering waste and environmental load.
✅ Higher Resale Value: Cars with rebuilt engines have higher resale value because they drive more smoothly.
