Top Quality Used Engines In Michigan & Northern Indiana

If your engine is giving you trouble, you might be weighing the options of repairing, rebuilding, or replacing it. Each choice has its own set of advantages and drawbacks, and the optimal decision hinges on factors like the severity of the damage, your financial constraints, and your personal preferences. At Pete’s Auto Parts, our expert team is here to assist you every step of the way!

Opting for engine repair or rebuild typically proves cost-effective for minor issues. However, the expenses can escalate rapidly due to the combined costs of parts and labor. Moreover, there’s no assurance of a successful repair, potentially necessitating an engine replacement anyway. In contrast, replacement used engines often offer superior longevity and smoother performance compared to a repaired counterpart. Call or text Pete’s Auto Parts today for a quote on an engine!

When it comes to engine replacements, there are several avenues to explore, each with its own set of advantages and drawbacks concerning price, quality, warranty coverage, reliability, and overall purchasing experience.

At Pete’s Auto Parts, we recognize the importance of investing in quality and reliability. That’s why we recommend stepping up from junkyards to procure inspected, high-quality used engines backed by warranties. Partnering with trusted suppliers ensures significant cost savings without compromising reliability. Our extended warranty offers additional peace of mind, akin to purchasing a new engine. Our labor protection will even cover your installation at the shop rate YOU set, whereas remanufacturers often try to pay $50 or significantly less than your normal hourly rate.

While purchasing a remanufactured or brand-new engine from a dealership is an option, it comes with the highest price tag and potential delays due to backorders, particularly for specific vehicle models and years. Given these factors, many customers opt for the cost-effective solution of purchasing used engines, striking a balance between quality, price, and reliability. Pete’s Auto Parts has partnered with a number of quality remanufacturers for when used engines are not available. We can help you whether you want to purchase used engines or a remanufactured engine!

Contact our team of engine experts at Pete’s Auto Parts by phone, text or email, and we’ll conduct a thorough search through our digital inventory of used engines. With a comprehensive stock of popular brands, models, and years readily available, we ensure you’ll find the right fit for your vehicle. If multiple options are available, we’ll transparently present them, ranging from the most affordable to the lowest mileage, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your preferences.

Once your ideal engine is identified, we offer the choice of backing it with either our standard or extended warranty for added peace of mind. Whether you prefer delivery to your doorstep or directly to your local shop within our delivery zone, we’ve got you covered. We’ll send you a secure payment link so you can pay for your order, and send text/email updates once the part is ready. 

Your local auto shop is likely familiar with the quality standards upheld by Pete’s Auto Parts and will be pleased to handle the engine installation. Each engine comes with necessary components, but there will be some accessories you need to replace or swap over, like the water pump, whether you’re opting for a DIY approach or hiring professional assistance. Our streamlined process ensures a hassle-free experience akin to purchasing a new engine but without the potential wait time and at a more affordable price point, all backed by our reliable warranty.

It literally takes seconds to find most used engines! We can have your engine delivered to you or a local shop as soon as the next day. If we are shipping your engine in from out of state, many of our preferred partners are just 2 days away. The longest you should have to wait for most engines is 10 days, if the engine is still in the vehicle and needs to be removed and shipped. However most of our used engines are received much sooner than that! We sometimes even offer same-day deliveries based on our schedule but we do recommend planning for the worst-case-scenario to ensure on-time delivery for your engine installation.

Every time you purchase a used auto part, you are reducing waste and keep usable materials out of landfills. If you had bought new, the steel and/or other materials to make and ship that part would be adding to your carbon footprint. When you utilize used engines, it’s a carbon negative action. In fact according to a 2017 study, the used parts in Massachusetts alone saved 2.2 billion tons of carbon!! So, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that is also eco-friendly, buying used engines is a great choice.

And remember we offer the top quality used engines, used transmissions, used axles, used auto body parts, used car parts, and used truck parts from all makes and models from our auto salvage yard in Michigan.
