Reconditioned & Used Car Engines for Sale UK: Supply and Fit Replacement Engine Service

Every driver knows the sinking feeling when the engine light stays on or the car refuses to start. An engine is the heart of the vehicle, and when it fails, everything else stops. At Apex Engines, we put that heart back in place. From our state-of-the-art garage in Preston, we rebuild, supply, fit and test petrol and diesel units for Hyundai, Kia, MINI, Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover models. Whether you need a fully reconditioned block or a carefully inspected low-mileage used engine, we keep a huge stock on the shelf and ship anywhere in the UK.

You choose how the job is done. Send us your registration for a rapid quote, have the engine delivered to your local mechanic, or book our complete supply-and-fit package. We can collect your vehicle within a 100-mile radius, install the replacement engine, flush fluids and test it. Most jobs are completed in five to seven working days, and every unit leaves with a written warranty of up to six months for total peace of mind.

How does your engine supply and fit service work?

Apex Engines focuses on one thing only: reliable, affordable power units. Reconditioning happens in-house. We strip each core, chemically clean it, pressure-test vital areas and measure everything to factory tolerances. Worn parts are replaced with new OEM or equivalent components, and the finished engine is hot-run on our test rig before it ever reaches a vehicle. If your budget is tighter, we also stock accident-salvage used engines with verified service history and typical mileage under 80,000. All units are shrink-wrapped on pallets and tracked from our door to yours.

Because we rebuild in volume, our prices sit well below main-dealer quotes, and we even offer a price-match guarantee when you find the same grade engine cheaper elsewhere. But price means nothing without trust, so we back every engine with the written six-month warranty.

Engine Replacement FAQs

What are the signs of a failing engine?

Look for hard starting, knocking or tapping noises, blue or white exhaust smoke, sudden loss of power, rising oil use and persistent warning lights. If two or more of these appear at once, switch off and seek a diagnosis before extra damage spreads.

Is it worth replacing an engine in an old car?

If the body and electronics are in good condition, an engine replacement usually costs far less than buying an equivalent replacement vehicle. Many car owners opt to keep their familiar vehicles on the road. This choice helps preserve resale value and avoids financing a new car by fitting a reconditioned unit instead.

How much does it cost to replace a car engine in the UK?

Actual prices depend on engine size, fuel type and whether you need supply only or supply & fit. Because market prices move, Apex Engines provides personalised written quotes based on your registration rather than fixed web prices. Contact us for today’s best prices.

What is the process of engine reconditioning?

We strip the engine block to its last bolt, deep-clean every part of it, crack-test the crankshaft, rebore or hone cylinders, renew bearings, gaskets, oil pump, timing gear and chains, skim and pressure-test the head, then reassemble to factory torque settings. Finally, we hot-run the engine and re-torque it before it leaves the bench.

How long does it take to fit a reconditioned engine?

A typical supply-and-fit job at our Preston workshop is completed in five to seven working days, allowing for removal, installation, fluid changes and a full road test. Complex or new brand models or parts delays can add time, but we keep you updated each day.

Where can I find a reliable engine replacement service near me?

Apex Engines serves every UK postcode through insured pallet delivery and our own recovery trucks. Enter your reg number online or call us; we ship nationwide and can collect within 100 miles of Preston for workshop fitting.

What is the warranty on reconditioned or used engines from Apex Engines?

Every reconditioned or low-mileage used engine includes up to a six-month standard parts warranty as soon as it is dispatched or fitted, giving you written cover without extra cost. Extended cover is available on request.

Do you offer a mobile engine fitting service?

Engine fitting needs lifts, specialist tools and a controlled environment, so we work from our own workshop. If your car cannot be driven, we can recover it to Preston or dispatch the engine to your chosen garage.

Can you collect the vehicle for engine replacement?

Yes. Our recovery team can pick up non-running vehicles inside a 100-mile radius of Preston and deliver them back once the job is complete, saving you separate transport costs.

What is the difference between a reconditioned, rebuilt, and remanufactured engine?

All three terms describe a stripped and repaired unit, but in-depth, they vary a little bit. A rebuilt engine usually has only the failed parts replaced. A reconditioned engine is rebuilt to the maker’s original clearances with new parts and a machined block. A remanufactured engine meets or exceeds the original factory standard and often has more components replaced or upgraded. At Apex Engines, we follow a full reconditioning process and label units honestly so you know exactly what you are buying.
