GBI 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

GBThe engine I paid for technically… The engine I paid for technically lasted a year, but it sputtered, stalled, and potentially destroyed the rest of my exhaust system because it was so filthy when they put it in. I was always afraid to drive long distances, and the car never had the performance it once had with the new engine. Engineworld scams you -- you pay quite a bit of money for an engine, which does not include labor costs, for a very minimal warranty. Buyer beware.

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.

GBTold them my cars specific year model… Told them my cars specific year model and engine block. They gave me the wrong engine block from Europe that didn't has a knock sensor they assured me it wouldn't be a issue but the car can't pass smog. Totally took advantage of me. Be cautious with this company.
