The best part is that you may get a range of used engines with different mileages at South West Engines.

Following the below steps, you can find the best fit used engine for your vehicle in a hassle free manner: Determine your need • If it is getting harder to start your car in cold weather, or • Oil pools under your vehicle when it is parked,

• Or there is engine knocking, or • The engine uses lot of oil, Then these are the warning signs to have a prognosis of the health of your car’s engine from a qualified mechanic.

To easily find a compatible replacement engine for your car, you need to have the following information handy with you: • Vehicle’s VIN Number • Engine Code, and • Production Date VIN Number can be found on the VIN plate located on the left hand side of the front section of the dashboard.

Production date is embedded in the VIN number itself. Enter your VIN number and car model in an online VIN decoder and it will tell you the month and year your vehicle was manufactured.

To see the engine number, pop the hood and look for a plate with a number on it. See the owner’s manual if you can’t see the engine number plate.

Go for low mileage engines If possible, look for an engine that is under 75.000 miles. Enquire about all the aspects of the engine’s history. If they are unwilling to provide it, pull it yourself. Get as much history on the engine as possible, and also if the vehicle met an accident, or was its engine salvaged etc. Double check the information provided by the dealer. If they claim a 10 year old engine having 30,000 miles on it, it should be a red flag for you. Instead, use 12,000 miles per year as a standard for engine mileage.

Pass the information collected by you to the mechanic who is going to install the used engine for you.
