Choose the Right Engine for Your Needs
Not every vehicle or budget is the same—that’s why we help you choose the best-value replacement option for your situation:
Used Engines – Save money without cutting corners
We source low-mileage used engines from trusted suppliers, often with warranty coverage up to 12 months or more. Each engine is inspected, cleaned, and tested before installation. For many vehicles, this is the most cost-effective solution to get back on the road.
Remanufactured Engines – Like new, inside and out
Our reman engines are completely rebuilt with new internal components (bearings, rings, pistons, gaskets, etc.) and precision-machined surfaces. These units often carry 3-year nationwide warranties and are ideal for long-term ownership.
New Crate Engines – Maximum reliability, ready to perform
For select makes and models, we can install brand-new factory or performance crate engines. These are perfect for newer vehicles or special applications where ultimate longevity and performance are worth the investment.
