GBFind an Engine Elsewhere What they don't tell you about these low-mileage used engines is that they have no guarantee that they run properly at all! They may come out of cars with less than 60k miles but these engines have been ABUSED. They said they do compression tests and some other "inspections" but really there's no way that's the case for every engine they sell. The first engine I received quickly started burning a ton of oil and overall running like utter garbage, it was undrivable. So, I had to get a replacement engine sent out. The second engine burned slightly less oil, but being without a car so long I just committed to having to put a quart of oil in every week. That was ok to get me by but it still wouldn't pass CA emissions tests. I'm glad I had the help of a mechanic friend and didn't have to pay labor twice to put a piece of junk in my car or I would have been livid. Oh, and they make no effort to compensate you for your time or other expenses when they send a bad engine. I've since gotten rid of the car but would not recommend a "refurbished" or "used" engine from them or anyone for that matter unless they'll show you it's been tested thoroughly.

GBAbsolutely horrible experience Absolutely horrible experience. I would never do business again with a internet company that doesn't take PayPal. If you chose to patronage these folks I eish you better luck than I. I received sludge up engine. When I asked for exchange was told: anything we send you will be that bad, they don't take care of their engines because they know they have to pull them a 50k. Send it back in original condition on the original palate and we might do something. Well the palate was long gone. The pan and valve cover were off and it was impossible to send back in original packaging and they knew it. They said to keep going with the install and if there was an issue they would honor the warrantee. Burned over 1guart per tank (250 miles) of gas. They refused to honor the warranty. Short and sad end to story it blew up in about 500 miles. My advise would be. Turn around dont walk away, but run fast as you can. But that's just my advice and experience. In sure they have some happy customers as well.

GBStay away from these guys If I could, I would give Engine World 0 Stars. If you are a gambling person and are feeling lucky, you may consider buying a used engine from these guys, but unless you want to join the ranks of those scammed, stay away from them and take your business somewhere else. They sold me a bucket of bolts passing for "a used engine in good working condition", and their 6 months Warranty is not worth the paper it's written on. When my mechanic got the engine for the swap in my car, he warned me that the engine was rusted and in bad shape and he had to do several repairs to it before installation...."they just spray-painted it gray to make it look good", he said. Well, I live in Tucson, AZ almost 1,000 miles from their warehouse in Oakland and didn't have any other choice but to proceed. After the installation, the engine lasted 17 miles before it croacked. Even though it was under the 6 month Warranty period, they refused to honor it and I ended up taking them to Small Claims Court in Oakland, CA. I won the Court case for the full judgement plus Court Fees, but they sure made me jump thru hoops before I was able to collect the full amount they owed me. Their lack of decorum and integrity, short of being sleazy, provide zero recourse in their so-called "customer service". Other folks with similar experiences want to report these guys to the California Department of Consumer Fraud. Again, save yourself the money and the headaches and do your shopping somewhere else.

GBI was scammed I was scammed. I told them I wanted a h23a1 engine they gave me a h23a3 . They assured me it would work after finding out it doesn't have a knock sensor making the car not pass smog.
