What are the typical costs and savings?
Installation of a quality remanufactured engine will usually cost $1,700 to $2,700 for a typical American car. To rebuild or install a rebuilt engine can range from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on who does the job. Rebuilt engines, however, have fewer new components, are not subject to uniform industry quality standards and specifications, and have limited warranty protection. In either case, these figures translate to about 5-15% of a typical new car cost. Additional savings in annual insurance costs can also be significant compared to a new car.
