Our frequently asked questions

“Everything You Need to Know”

Is it worth buying a second-hand imported engine?

A second-hand engine can be a cost-effective option if the replacement unit has been properly tested and comes from a reputable supplier like us. In our experience, a quality used engine has often provided years of dependable service.

Are import engines good?

Import engines can offer excellent value, and we source from vehicles with lower mileage. Our imported engines arrive in good condition and provide a practical replacement option for damaged or worn units.

What warranty do your engines and gearboxes include?

All engines come with a 3-month warranty. If we supply & fit, the warranty extends to 6 months for extra peace of mind.

Do your engines and gearboxes come complete with parts?

Yes. Our low-mileage UK engines are complete units, including all essential components, ready for fitting and use.

Can you deliver or courier engines across South Africa?

We deliver nationwide within 1–4 days. Courier services are available, with export options to Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.

What should I check before buying an engine?

Check the engine code, mileage, service history, condition, warranty coverage, and compatibility with your vehicle. We know imported engines can be an excellent solution if purchased from a trusted supplier like us with complete documentation.

What should I know about importing engines into South Africa?

Imported engines entering South Africa must comply with customs regulations and documentation requirements. Buyers should confirm that the supplier provides the correct paperwork, including proof of origin and import documentation where required. As professional importers, we take care of this process along with our expertise and recommendations.
