On a limited basis, we offer removal and installation along with the
rebuilding of your engine. In this case, a customer will be required to transport their
vehicle to our location. A fifty percent deposit is required for this service. Drop off
must be scheduled in advance as we only work on one vehicle at a time with storage for a
few additional vehicles. Due to workloads, we are not always able to accept your vehicle
for weeks.
We will remove the engine, clean and tear it down, and evaluate it's
condition. After tear down and inspection, we will call the customer to inform them of any
issues with the engine internal or external accessories. We'll inform the customer if
these components may be repaired or if they will require replacement and we will offer
options related to each. We will require customer approval before any further work is
performed. The rebuild will be performed with any customer specified options.
After engine assembly is complete, the engine is reinstalled in the car and fluids are
filled. We will then start the car and test for leaks. Finally the car is driven from 15
to 100 miles to check for any additional leaks, proper boost functionality (if a turbo
model) and any other issues. Please be sure the vehicle is properly titled and insured. If
this is not possible, then we will only start the engine to check for leaks but we can not
and will not road test the vehicle and test for leaks, proper turbo function, etc. Once
the vehicle reassemble is completed, we request that the vehicle is picked up within two
weeks (unless previous arrangements have been made). This is due to our limited storage
space and customers queued behind you. Cars not picked up within two weeks of completion
may be charged a storage fee.
Replacement and or upgraded parts may typically be used during reassemble with no
additional labor charge to the customer. Note that we would require the customer provide
these parts or pay for their purchase prior to the time we order the parts. We recommend
replacement of all rubber hoses with silicone hoses at this time. These parts are usually
not included in gasket or rebuild kits. Below is a list of parts we would recommend for
replacement at the time of engine rebuild / installation. Though most of these parts can
be reused, if one part fails this could lead to the failure of your new engine (that would
not be covered under our warranty).
