Reconditioned & Used Replacement Engines Supplied, Fitted and Rebuilt with Full Warranty

Replacement Engnies

Replacing a worn or failed engine can be daunting when you consider the cost and disruption it causes. At Apex Engines, we make engine replacement straightforward by specialising in high quality reconditioned and carefully tested used engines. Our company operates a state of the art workshop staffed by experienced mechanics to remove the old engine, fit a remanufactured unit and return your vehicle ready for the road. Every engine is thoroughly inspected and accompanied by a warranty, giving you confidence in its reliability and longevity.

We recognise that customers want value without sacrificing quality. That is why our services combine cost effective engine supply and fitting with rigorous engineering standards. Reconditioned engines are dismantled, cleaned, machined and rebuilt to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. These units provide performance comparable to new engines but at a fraction of the cost. Used engines are sourced from donor vehicles, mileage verified and compression tested before they are offered for installation. Whether you choose a reconditioned or used engine, you benefit from our up to 12-month warranty coverage and nationwide delivery service.

Our goal is to help drivers, fleet operators and garages restore vehicles efficiently. We tailor each solution to the make and model of your car, ensuring compatibility and smooth integration. Our mechanics handle the entire process, from recovery of a broken vehicle to final testing. With thousands of satisfied customers and a reputation built on transparency and reliability, Apex Engines is your trusted partner for engine replacement.

Why Choose Apex Engines for your engine service?

Jaguar Engines

Quality and reliability are at the heart of our service. Every engine we supply, whether used or reconditioned, is inspected, tested and warranted. Here’s why customers choose us over other options:

  • Expertise and diagnostics: Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint engine faults and recommend the most cost effective solution.
  • Cost savings: Reconditioned engines typically cost 30–50% less than new units while offering comparable reliability and warranty cover.
  • Warranty cover: All engines come with a warranty for extra peace of mind. The reconditioning process restores each unit to manufacturer tolerances, often extending its life by 50,000–100,000 miles.
  • Complete supply & fit service: We remove the old engine, fit the replacement and handle ECU coding and ancillary parts, ensuring a seamless handover. Our state of the art workshop and experienced mechanics make the process smooth and hassle free.

When you choose Apex Engines, you’re not just buying an engine; you’re investing in workmanship and support that keep your vehicle on the road.

Our engine reconditioning process

MINI Engines

Reconditioning isn’t a quick fix; it’s a comprehensive overhaul designed to return a failed engine to factory standards. Our process follows the best practice steps used by professional engine reconditioners:

  1. Initial assessment and strip down: After removing the engine from the vehicle, technicians document visible damage, check compression and disassemble every component. This step identifies obvious failures such as scored cylinder bores, worn camshafts or cracked heads.
  2. Cleaning and inspection: Components are cleaned using industrial parts washers and chemical baths, then measured against original specifications. Precision instruments such as micrometres and bore gauges ensure that each part meets manufacturer tolerances. Any part outside tolerance is flagged for machining or replacement.
  3. Machining and component replacement: Worn surfaces are restored by boring and honing cylinders, grinding crankshafts, resurfacing heads and cutting valve seats. Parts that cannot be machined, such as piston rings, bearings, timing components, oil pumps and seals, are replaced with new or reconditioned components.
  4. Reassembly and testing: The engine is reassembled using new fasteners and correct torque settings. Cold and hot testing verify oil pressure, compression and leak free operation. Only after passing these tests is the engine returned for installation.

This meticulous process ensures a reconditioned engine performs like new, providing long term reliability at a fraction of the cost of a brand new unit.

Types of engines we supply and fit

Hyundai Engines For Sale

Our inventory covers petrol and diesel engines. Here are the types of engines and services we offer:

Fully tested used engines

We source low mileage engines from vehicles that have been written off for reasons other than engine failure. Each unit is inspected and tested for compression, oil pressure and performance before sale. Used engines provide a cost effective replacement when your vehicle is otherwise in good condition and requires minimal machining. They are ideal for vehicles with modest mileage or when budget is a primary concern.

Reconditioned engines

Jaguar Engines For Sale

Reconditioned units undergo the full restoration process described above. They are the best choice when the original engine has suffered catastrophic failure, has high mileage or multiple worn components. Reconditioned engines are essentially restored to manufacturer standards, offering longevity and warranty coverage similar to a new engine but at a lower price.

Complete Supply & fit with engine delivery option

We understand that replacing an engine can be daunting. Our supply & fit service covers engine removal, installation, ancillary component transfer, ECU coding and software adaptations. This one stop solution reduces downtime and ensures the replacement is done correctly. After fitting, we run diagnostics and test drive the vehicle to confirm the new engine performs perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apex Engines offers engine diagnostics, engine repair, engine rebuilding, reconditioned engine supply, and engine fitting for Jaguar, Hyundai, Kia, MINI, Land Rover, and Range Rover vehicles.
Common signs include knocking noise, smoke, power loss, oil warning light, coolant loss, overheating, misfire, rough idle, and engine warning light.
Yes. Apex Engines checks the fault first before repair or replacement. This helps avoid guessing and prevents unnecessary work.
A reconditioned engine is a used engine that has been stripped, cleaned, inspected, repaired, and rebuilt with key worn parts replaced.
The engine is disassembled to its last bolt, deep cleaned, and crack tested. Cylinders are rebored or honed. Bearings, gaskets, oil pump, timing gear, and chains are replaced with OEM components. The cylinder head is skimmed and pressure tested. The engine is then reassembled to factory standards and hot run before leaving the bench.
A reconditioned engine is usually more reliable than a standard used engine because it has been inspected, repaired, and rebuilt before fitting.
A properly rebuilt reconditioned engine can last many years if it is fitted correctly, serviced on time, and maintained with the correct oil and coolant.
An engine rebuild repairs the existing engine. Engine replacement removes the failed engine and fits another tested or reconditioned unit.
You may need engine replacement if there is heavy knocking, low compression, metal in the oil, crankshaft damage, overheating damage, or complete engine failure.
The cost to replace or rebuild an engine can vary hugely. It depends on your car and the type of replacement engine you choose.
