Hunting For Recon Engines

Recon engine is just short form of reconditioned engine and it"s a possibility that you might learn two or three more names of reconditioned units, so don"t get fazed by varying names. Main reason people opt to replace their vehicle"s engine with rebuilt or recon units is the cost benefit these units tout. It"s a reality that getting engine replaced to amp-up your vehicle"s performance is cheaper than getting a new car or a newer model of same car. In fact, the cost differential is so huge that you can add a whole week family trip with the money you save. But there are few things to consider.

Going for recon engines is not everyone"s cup of tea. If you are risk averse, you value reliability and safety then you might want to consider new or crate units, be ready to pay a whole lot of green for them. If you are on budget and you think that your street smartness can be advantageous in risky situations then go with reconditioned engines. These units are cheaper than new ones and offer almost similar reliability and safety. Nowadays, depending on the garage doing reconditioning, there is little to no difference between crate and recon units. Additionally, big players in auto repair industry offer similar warranties on both, where a new engine comes with 5 year warranty, same garage might offer 3 year warranty for an engine reconditioned and fitted by them.

That"s the only hitch in going with recon engines, usually garages offering these units ask to get them installed by them or the warranties get shortened. But a quick look on google will astonish you as you will find literally dozens of big, reputed auto repair shops on net. Most will offer you online quotes, friendly customer service and competitive prices. You might feel that this much competition and choices will make the decision more confusing, well answer to that is both a yes and a no. It depends on your people skill, if you can get them to change their deal according to your requirements, as they can make few adjustments because of cut throat competition in repair industry, then no.

You actually gained something from huge competition but if you aren"t that good with words then tag along with someone who is. Ask a friend or your trusty mechanic to close the deal, don"t forget to pay or take them on lunch after the deal is done. That"s it; with quick wit and market research you can save loads of money and improve performance of your car.
