I will be brief today. Just because our company name is GotEngines.com does not mean we are not sensitive to the other parts of your car or truck. Yes, we sell engines of any sort, certified pre-tested used low mileage engines, the best upgraded remanufactured engines available and new engines. We also sell at wholesale prices, eliminating the middleman and saving considerable money. Lots of people know it is simply wasting time calling any other engine supplier.

We sell transmissions of any sort as well and fuel injectors too. What I want to get at today is that the blog we present is for automotive repairs also. Our point of view surrounds the safety of our customers and readers. Some of the other systems that must be in good operating order are: Brakes, Front end, Steering components and Tires. I mention this simply because when I was in business from 1981 to 2006 there were actually be times that a person would show with up with a major engine or transmission problem and we would have to turn them away.

Why would we turn anybody who is qualified to have a major repair? Usually it had to do with a lack of brakes, or a front end problem that made the car unsafe to drive. There was no way I was test driving a vehicle that was unsafe to drive. My point is that many drivers neglect every part of their car until it is unsafe to drive. I have seen single moms pull into my driveway with a transmission or engine problem they want fixed, but the car also had obviously unreliable brakes (noticed the second I pushed the brake pedal before I even left the lot) and steered poorly.

As tempting as it was to make a buck, the ethical thing to do was to send that person to a garage that repaired those problems unless the problem was up our alley.

The point of the GotEngines.com Blog today is that you should not neglect safety issues such as your brakes and steering. Number one is to fix these problems as they occur, don’t drive an unsafe car (especially if you have kids), number two is that if you have an accident because of an unsafe system/s we can’t help you select the correct engine when the time comes for an engine replacement. Read our blog, put some though into the condition of your cars other systems and enjoy.
