The Advantages of Purchasing an Extended Warranty for Your Used Engine

Why Intelligent Car Owners Are Choosing Quality Used Engines with Extended Protection

Introduction

If the engine in your vehicle dies, replacement is a significant decision. New engines are extremely expensive, and a new vehicle may not always be practical. Therefore, the majority of sensible car owners go for decent-quality used engines as an affordable alternative. Nevertheless, there is one thing that will make this decision even more sensible — purchasing an extended warranty.

At our shop, not only do we sell tested, certified used engines — we give you peace of mind with extended warranties that protect your investment and keep your car on the road longer.

Why Buy a Used Engine?

Replacing an engine can save your car — and your wallet. But why purchase a used engine instead of a brand-new or rebuilt engine?

✅ Cost Savings

Used engines are significantly less expensive than new engines. A new engine will cost you anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the vehicle, while a good used engine will cost you anywhere from $1,200 to $3,500 or more depending on the make and model.

✅ Compatibility & Availability

We have used engines for numerous makes and models, including:

Each engine is examined, compression tested, and confirmed before it hits our warehouse shelves.

✅ Eco-Friendly

Engine recycling reduces waste and reduces the environmental impact of engine manufacturing.

What Is an Extended Engine Warranty?

An extended warranty is a service contract that covers repair or replacement expenses after the standard warranty of the manufacturer or seller has ended. It’s your engine’s insurance policy.

When you buy a used engine from us, you can buy an extended warranty to have yourself covered for 6 months, 12 months, or even up to 36 months, depending upon your need.

The Top Advantages of Buying an Extended Warranty for Your Used Engine

1. Peace of Mind

Let’s get real — the acquisition of a second-hand engine with no warranty is a gamble. Even a properly inspected engine can develop an issue after a few thousand miles. With an extended warranty, you won’t have to worry about surprise repair bills.

2. Protection Against Unexpected Repairs

Engine repairs are costly and can total hundreds or even thousands of dollars. With an extended warranty, you’re covered for parts and labor for:

  • Oil pump failure
  • Valve damage
  • Timing chain or belt failure
  • Cylinder head issues
  • Internal gasket leaks

3. Greater Resale Value

If you ever trade in or sell your vehicle, an extended warranty has value. Buyers have greater assurance in purchasing a vehicle with a warranted powertrain. In most cases, extended warranties are transferable.

4. Budget Friendly Maintenance

With a warranty, you will not have the surprise of unexpected repair costs. It allows you to budget better and not have surprise out-of-pocket expenses.

5. More Confident Driving

Whether you drive to the office or around the nation, you’ll drive confidently in the knowledge that your engine is protected.

Joe purchased a remanufactured Chevy Silverado 5.3L engine with a 2-year extended warranty. 14 months later, there was a timing chain issue. Due to the warranty, Joe paid $0 out of pocket, and we shipped a replacement engine — promptly.
