Many times I have seen a customer agonize over whether to just go buy another car or have a replacement engine installed in their current car while upgrading the cooling system and various other related components such as the catalytic converter at the same time.

Assuming your car or truck is in good operating condition other wise, why would you spend multiple thousands of dollars on another car when you can spend two to three thousand dollars on a replacement engine with a great warranty?

The greatest money saver you will run across when your car has a major issue such as an engine failure is to replace or repair the engine in your car, instead of replacing the whole car.

For a car or truck that is in good overall condition you can accomplish two things, one is that your car will move again after you put a rebuilt or good used engine in your vehicle. The other thing that happens is that now that your car runs like new again, you probably forgot how nice your vehicle ran before. Often we don’t notice the slow decline in performance and gas mileage loss during the period an engine deteriorates and then fails because we are so used to our cars “feel”.

People often call GotEngines.com back to thank them and let the experts know how much they appreciate the good advise they were given in terms of what the best choice was in  used replacement engines. Surprising as it may sound, when an individual has a serious engine problem and ultimately a failure, they suddenly realize how bad the car was running. The first thing that comes to mind upon driving the vehicle with a fresh engine is how much different the car feels and that it would have been a waste of money to buy a new car as a knee-jerk reaction.

This is the most important thing I will ever say about replacing an engine. Call GotEngines.com first, you will find out why they out perform every other engine supplier around.

Many of the suppliers of used, rebuilt and new replacement engines include some related critical parts to engine life with the package. They don’t want any problems or excuses either.

When I owned my repair shop from 1981 to 2006 (I sold it), we built excellent relationships and confidence in our customers. Customers were required to return in two weeks for a free warranty recheck of the work we performed on their car, almost always the first two things that came out of their mouths’ were “how wonderful their cars drive now that it was performing like it used too, and they were very pleased with their decision and happy to have kept the car and saved literally multi-thousands of dollars by not trading their car in”.

The point of this article is that is that sometimes when you understand a situation well enough to make an informed decision, not a knee-jerk decision it builds confidence in your ability to make good decisions. That almost always makes you feel good about yourself and better about your car. FYI, I still drive my 1988 GMC 1 ton pickup truck. I bought it new and have maintained it just like I recommend in the GotEngines.com Blog articles presented here for free. Enjoy.
