FAQ
Used Engines questions
How much does a used engine or transmission cost?
Price depends on the year, make, model, mileage, and part - a 4-cylinder economy engine and a diesel truck engine are very different jobs. Use the part finder or call us for a free, no-obligation quote on your exact vehicle; every quote confirms availability and compatibility before you pay.
Are your used engines and transmissions tested?
Yes. Every used engine and transmission is compression- and oil-pressure tested and put through a rigorous inspection process by automotive experts before they ship.
What warranty comes with a part?
Every engine and transmission includes a 12-month parts-replacement warranty, plus lifetime support from ASE-certified experts. Approved claims are handled by replacement or store credit - we do not issue cash refunds. Labor is not covered on the standard warranty. You can upgrade to 3-year parts and labor coverage for $499 at the time of purchase. Full warranty details are provided with your order.
How long does shipping take, and what does it cost?
Shipping is free to a commercial business address or your local freight terminal and typically arrives in 5-7 business days. Residential delivery is $175 and includes a liftgate, a smaller delivery truck and a scheduled appointment. We ship to the lower 48 only.
What is the difference between a remanufactured and a rebuilt engine?
Remanufactured engines have all brand-new internal parts plus all aftermarket and OEM upgrades and updates, whereas rebuilt engines are reconditioned used engines that keep many used parts on them.
What components are included with a used engine?
The engine assembly includes the main internal parts - block, head, piston, camshaft, crankshaft - and other components. It does not include the AC compressor, starter, alternator, or power steering pump. Additional parts left on the engine block are included for your convenience but are not covered by warranty.
Can I pick up my part in person?
No - we are an online business with no walk-in sales or local pickup. Our inventory ships from multiple supplier locations, and every order comes with free freight to a commercial address or your local freight terminal instead.
