Engine Repair: Affordable Options!
Just as people have an annual medical exam at their doctor's office it is important to keep up with regular engine service for your vehicle. Just like people with poor diets and lack of exercise, if engine service is neglected, your vehicle will start to develop problems caused by normal mileage wear and tear, poor maintenance, lubrication problems; excessive overheating, just to name a few. You may start to notice symptoms of engine problems leading to engine repair--excessive smoke from the tailpipe; excessive oil consumption; knocking or tapping sounds; low oil pressure; low compression; water mixing in oil; oil getting into the air cleaner and/or radiator.
Engine problems do not have to be the end of your vehicle. Are there affordable engine repair options?
The response of many consumers when their car or truck needs major engine repair is to buy a new vehicle. In some circumstances, disposing of your current vehicle might make sense, but often it simply may not be necessary, or even the best decision. Once you consider the "hidden" costs of purchasing a new or used vehicle, the economic benefits of keeping your current vehicle become very clear.
What are the benefits of rebuilding or replacing the engine rather than replacing your vehicle? Choosing to repower your current engine with a remanufactured or rebuilt engine is your most reliable and cost effective choice over the long term. Rebuilt or remanufactured engines get better gas mileage than a worn engine, and emit fewer pollutants. Engine rebuilding also saves a tremendous amount of energy used in processing discarded car engines and vehicles as well as conserving energy and resources required to manufacture new engines.
Is Engine Repair Affordable?
As you may have assumed, there is a fairly significant range of possible prices for different types of car engines, depending on factors such as vehicle make/model, technician labor charges and the extent of other related automotive repair services that may be required to complete the installation of the rebuilt or remanufactured engine. The price range typically includes the retail price of custom rebuilt or factory remanufactured engines plus the labor to install the engines. The estimate should also include the replacement of the thermostat, water pump, and disposable automotive parts including spark plugs, ignition wires, belts, hoses, filters and gaskets.
Remember: Obtain estimates for engine repair from several service providers to determine the best value for your dollar.
