Engine Replacement FAQ

Replace the Engine or the Car?

There are many considerations to choosing between replacing your vehicle or the vehicle’s engine. Some involve cost, others environmental impact, but all are important for making your decision between replacing the engine in your vehicle or getting a new car all together. Replacing your car may mean the old vehicle becomes a junk yard resident where it will decay, all the while leaking fluids and heavy metals into the ground it sits on. Replacing the engine in your car keeps the vehicle on the road, and you can be even more eco-friendly by replacing the engine with one salvaged from a wrecked vehicle. As for cost, if you’ve seen any car commercials on television, you know a new car can cost as much as a small home now. It’s also time-consuming and frustrating the research new cars before buying one. Replacing the engine, on the other hand, is more cost-effective–especially if you choose a salvaged engine from a wrecked vehicle. It is also often a shorter process to choose a new engine than to purchase a new vehicle.

How Do You Choose?

Unless your decision to purchase a new vehicle or engine is based on a desire for a specific car or engine–like if you want a higher performance vehicle or a more luxurious interior, etc.–your decision is likely to be based on cost and availability of the car or engine you desire.
