Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a reconditioned engine cost in the UK?
The average reconditioned engine in the UK costs between £2,100 and £3,500 — that’s 40–60% less than buying new. Every reconditioned engine we supply is professionally restored and comes with a 12–24 month warranty, delivering 95–98% of new engine performance at a fraction of the price.
How long does an engine replacement take?
On average, an engine replacement in the UK takes around 5 days from start to finish. The exact timeline depends on the type of engine — and we keep you informed at every step, which is why 92% of our customers rate their experience positively.
Do reconditioned engines come with a warranty?
Yes — every reconditioned engine we supply comes with a 12–24 month warranty covering both parts and labour. If anything does go wrong, 98% of warranty claims are resolved within 5 business days. You’re fully protected from day one.
What is the difference between used, reconditioned, and new engines?
There are three options when replacing your engine, each with a different price point, warranty, and level of restoration. Reconditioned engines offer the best balance of cost, reliability, and peace of mind — and account for the vast majority of replacements we handle.
How much can I save with a reconditioned engine vs buying new?
Most customers save between £1,500 and £3,000 by choosing a reconditioned engine. A new engine typically costs £4,200–£6,500, while a reconditioned unit costs £2,100–£3,500 — yet delivers 95–98% of the same performance, backed by a full warranty.
How do I find the right engine for my car?
The quickest way is to enter your vehicle registration number in our free quote tool at the top of the page. It instantly matches your car to compatible engines in our network. Alternatively, use the make, model, and engine size filter to search manually. Not sure what you need? Call or WhatsApp us and our team will guide you.
Is it worth replacing an engine or should I buy a new car?
In most cases, fitting a reconditioned engine is the more cost-effective choice — especially if the rest of your vehicle is in good condition. A reconditioned engine at £2,100–£3,500 is significantly cheaper than the deposit on a replacement car, and you avoid the depreciation, insurance changes, and finance costs that come with buying new.
We recommend engine replacement when: the engine fault is the only major issue, the car has low mileage on the bodywork and other components, or the vehicle holds sentimental or practical value. Get a free quote first and we will give you an honest assessment.
Do you supply engines for all car makes and models?
Yes. We supply reconditioned and used engines for all major car makes sold in the UK — including Ford, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes, Vauxhall, Toyota, Land Rover, Range Rover, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, and many more. Enter your registration above to check availability for your specific vehicle.
