Replacement Car Engines Without Main Dealer Prices
Need a replacement engine without paying main dealer prices? Allstar Breakers supplies quality used car engines from our breakers yard in Grimsargh, Preston.
We remove reusable engines from vehicles being dismantled at our yard and supply them to drivers, garages, mechanics and repairers looking for a more affordable alternative to buying new.
If your engine has failed, your car is off the road or the cost of a brand-new replacement simply does not make sense, get in touch before giving up on the vehicle.
Call 01772 700607 or send us your registration and engine details and we will check our current stock.
Used Car Engines for a Wide Range of Makes
We regularly dismantle vehicles from popular manufacturers including Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Kia, Toyota, Nissan, MG, Land Rover and many more.
Because new vehicles arrive at the yard regularly, our engine stock changes all the time. Some engines may already be removed and ready for sale, while others may still be fitted to vehicles that are currently being broken.
You can also check some of the latest arrivals on our cars currently breaking page.
How to Find the Correct Replacement Engine
Finding an engine from the same make and model does not automatically mean it will be the correct replacement for your vehicle.
Different versions of the same car can use different engines depending on the model year, fuel type, power output and specification. The engine code is therefore particularly useful when checking compatibility.
When contacting us, send as much of the following information as possible:
- Your vehicle registration
- Make and model
- Year of manufacture
- Engine size
- Petrol or diesel
- Engine code, if available
- Any relevant part numbers
- Your postcode if delivery is required
Providing the correct details at the start helps us identify a suitable engine and avoids unnecessary guesswork.
What Should You Check When Buying a Used Engine?
A replacement engine is a major purchase, so it is worth establishing exactly what you are buying before arranging fitting.
Depending on the engine, useful things to confirm can include:
- Compatibility with your vehicle
- Engine code
- Available mileage information
- Overall condition
- What components are included with the engine
- Whether any ancillaries are included
- Warranty terms
- Collection or delivery arrangements
If you are unsure about any of these details, speak to us before ordering and we will explain the information available for the engine you are considering.
Used Engines With Warranty Cover
Warranty cover is available on qualifying used engines supplied by Allstar Breakers.
Because engines are high-value components, we recommend checking the applicable warranty terms, compatibility and fitting requirements before purchase.
You can read the current terms on our warranty page.
Why Buy a Used Replacement Engine?
Engine failure does not always mean the rest of the vehicle is ready for the scrap yard.
If the car is otherwise in good condition, replacing a failed engine with a suitable used unit can sometimes be far more economical than buying a new engine or replacing the entire vehicle.
Used engines also allow components from vehicles being dismantled to be reused rather than wasted when they still have useful life remaining.
More Than Just Used Engines
Engines are only one of the higher-value components available from vehicles being dismantled at Allstar Breakers.
Depending on current stock, we also supply:
- Used gearboxes
- Body panels
- Headlights and rear lights
- ECUs and electrical components
- Alternators
- Starter motors
- Suspension components
- Interior parts
Browse our used car parts section or contact us with your registration and details of the component you need.
