Cost-effective Choice
Reconditioning an engine is a much cheaper way to enjoy your car for as long as possible instead of getting a new one or buying a new engine.

Since we tend to replace or revive a lot of parts during the inspection phase, there is plenty of room for customizing the engine to your specific needs.

What is engine reconditioning?
Reconditioning an engine is all about restoring an engine to its former glory or optimal condition. It’s also a way to push the limits and get more out of your engine, especially for race and street cars. Generally speaking, it may involve disassembly, replacement of parts, reassembly and more – whatever it takes to enhance overall performance. Paired up with high-quality exhaust systems, it can make w huge difference.
What types of engines can undergo this process?

Does it improve fuel efficiency?

How much does engine reconditioning cost?
It’s really hard to answer this question, as it can range from a couple of hundred all the way up to a couple of thousands of dollars. Typically though, it’s far less expensive than engine replacement, which sits between 5,000 and 10,000 on average. But it’s not uncommon to pay more or significantly less as everything is calculated on a case-by-case basis.
