Every engine I have gotten has been… Every engine I have gotten has been great. Delivery has also been great. Lately the pricing seems to be higher than other vendors. The call back time on inquiries seem much longer than in the years past. Due to higher pricing and longer call back times it has caused me to purchase from different vendors. As I said in the first two sentences, I have gotten great engines and propt delivery from engine world.

Engines probably don't have less than 70,000 miles as claimed. They claim all their engines have less than 70,000 miles, but have no paperwork or VIN to support their claim. With older engines, it is highly unlikely they will have less than 70,000 miles especially if they can't provide a VIN in order to verify how many miles the vehicle had when it was recycled.

Find 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.

Stay 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.

I bought a 3.0 liter V6 for my Toyota… I bought a 3.0 liter V6 for my Toyota pick up. The buying went smoothly, the delivery and core return were easy. When we went to reassemble the accessories, we discovered the timing belt tensioner was a different set up on the new engine. We sent a number of pics of the problem to your tech support team and shop manager. Instead of sending the passenger side head ( where tensioner mounts ) we got a box 3 days later with a bunch of random pieces that looked like they had been pulled from multiple engines. No instructions,diagrams or advice—-just a box of parts. My mechanic made it all work, but only after tapping out a mounting bracket hole. Really disappointed in your follow up and tech support. I would not buy from you again. We’ see if this gets posted Ed H Henderson, NC
