A seized engine, a cracked block or major internal damage can make a rebuild uneconomical. In many cases fitting a replacement engine is the faster and more cost-effective route, especially when the rest of the vehicle is in good condition.
We start by confirming the diagnosis so you know the replacement is really needed. Then we source a suitable engine for your vehicle and quote the full job, including the parts that should be renewed while the engine is out.
What the job includes
- Confirming the original engine fault
- Sourcing a suitable replacement engine for your make and model
- Removing the old engine and fitting the replacement
- Renewing items like filters, fluids, belts, hoses and mounts where needed
- Fresh oil and coolant
- Scanning for fault codes and a thorough road test
Choosing the right engine
Options vary by vehicle. We explain what is available for yours, what condition it is in and what guarantee applies to it, so you can compare like with like before you approve the quote.
Repair or replace?
Not every serious engine fault needs a new engine. See engine repairs for the alternatives. We tell you honestly which route makes more sense for your vehicle.
Common questions
How long does an engine replacement take?
It depends on the vehicle and engine availability. We give you a time estimate with the quote.
Will my vehicle need to be re-registered?
If the engine number changes, the vehicle's records need updating. We explain what applies to your vehicle.
Do you replace engines on all makes?
We work on all makes and models. Availability of replacement engines varies by vehicle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. The terms depend on the engine fitted, and we confirm them in your quote.
