The engine is the most important part of your vehicle. If something goes wrong, either through wear and tear or mis-handling, it may be expensive to fix. It is always wise to use manufacturer approved parts of a high quality whenever repairing or replacing engine parts. However, some independent garages can provide low cost engine repairs using manufacturer-approved parts of the highest quality.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO FIX YOUR ENGINE?

Prices will vary, based on the vehicle spec, but you should generally expect a typical engine rebuild to cost upwards of £2,500 to £4,000 in parts and labour costs. This “typical” type of engine repair may include a simple replacement of seals and bearings, as well as removing the engine out and re-installing it.

IS IT WORTH REPLACING AN ENGINE?

Engine replacement is a viable alternative to buying a new vehicle, in some cases. An engine replacement can be done for a fraction of the cost, plus you avoid all the fees and insurance expenses that are incurred in vehicle replacement. It’s fair to say that replacing an engine can save money and extend vehicle life.
