Finding used engines for sale should not mean days of searching or compatibility guesswork. Here is how we get the right used OEM engine to your location.
And before it ships, every unit goes through a structured inspection process. Every engine we supply comes from a vehicle sourced at a state-licensed auto auction, inspected on arrival and re-inspected a second time before it ships to you.
Testing
Every Used Engine For Sale Is Tested Before Shipping
Not every used motor engine for sale goes through the same sourcing, inspection and testing process that ours do. It is how we have served over 10,000 customers with confidence.
Compression tested to verify proper PSI readings
Checked for leaks, knocks and smoke
Crankshaft rotation verified
Inspected by ASE-certified mechanics
What makes a Grade A engine:
60,000 miles or less, or
Between 60,000 and 150,000 miles with no more than 15,000 miles of use per year
Every unit that meets these mileage criteria still must pass the full inspection checklist above before it is approved for shipment.
Every engine we supply comes from a vehicle sourced at a state-licensed auto auction. Units are inspected on arrival. When you place an order, we re-inspect the unit a second time before it ships. Only Grade A OEM units are approved for shipment. No exceptions.

If your vehicle is off the road, waiting weeks is not an option. Most of our used engines ship within 7 to 10 business days.
For customers searching for used engines for sale nearby or nationwide, our sourcing network gives us access to compatible units across the country, so you are not limited to what a single local salvage yard has available.
Once you submit your vehicle details, we locate a match, confirm fitment and get back to you with price and mileage. You approve. We ship.
If you would rather speak to someone directly, our team is available 8AM EST to 6PM PST, Monday to Friday.
A used engine from a verified source is reliable when it has been properly tested and re-inspected before shipping. Every used engine we source is compression-tested to verify proper PSI readings, checked for leaks, knocks and smoke, and graded Grade A before approval. Low-mileage sourcing and structured inspection are what separate a reliable used engine from a risky one.
For most vehicles, buying a used engine is significantly more cost-effective than dealership replacement. When the unit is sourced from a low-mileage vehicle, compression-tested and warranty-backed, the value is clear. Precision Parts Pro only sources Grade A used engines for sale with a minimum 90-day warranty, with coverage extending up to one year, depending on the unit. This gives you OEM-level reliability at a fraction of the cost of a new or remanufactured unit.
A remanufactured engine is rebuilt to a standard, but comes at a significantly higher price. Aftermarket units vary in quality. A Grade A used engine sourced from a low-mileage vehicle offers OEM reliability at a lower cost than remanufactured alternatives. When compression-tested, steam-washed and warranty-backed, used motor engines for sale through a verified supplier are a cost-effective and dependable choice for most replacements.
The cost of a used engine depends on the make, model, year and mileage of the unit. Sourcing through Precision Parts Pro gives you access to Grade A used engines from a nationwide network, which means competitive pricing without compromising on quality. In most cases, a used engine for sale through our network costs significantly less than a dealership replacement or remanufactured unit.
Yes. Every used engine sourced through Precision Parts Pro comes with a minimum 90-day warranty, with coverage extending up to one year depending on the unit. Used engines with warranty are standard on every order. Warranty activation is straightforward, and our team walks you through the process after delivery. Full terms are confirmed at the time of your quote.
The lifespan of a used engine depends on its mileage, condition and how it was sourced. A Grade A used engine from a low-mileage vehicle that has been compression-tested and inspected can deliver years of reliable performance. At Precision Parts Pro, we only source used engines for sale that pass our structured inspection process. Units that do not meet our grading standard are not shipped.
The best place to buy used engines online is a supplier that verifies compatibility, tests every unit before shipping and backs it with a warranty. Precision Parts Pro gives you access to a nationwide network of verified suppliers, Grade A inventory, free nationwide shipping and a minimum 90-day warranty, with coverage extending up to one year, on every used engine for sale. No core charges, no hidden fees and no shipment without your approval.
A local salvage yard is limited to what is physically available on its lot. When you buy a used engine online through Precision Parts Pro, you access a nationwide network of verified suppliers, giving you significantly more options than a single salvage yard. Compatibility is confirmed before shipping, every unit is warranty-backed and free nationwide shipping is included. For used engines nearby or nationwide, buying online gives you more control.
Every used engine sourced through Precision Parts Pro is supplied as a complete long block assembly. Bolt-on parts and accessories are not included since you can reuse ones from your existing engine. Exactly what is included is confirmed when we send your quote.

Grade A means different things at different suppliers. At Precision Parts Pro, it means defined mileage thresholds, compression testing and a full mechanical inspection before approval. See our grading criteria above.
A new engine from a dealership is the most expensive route and is not always necessary. A remanufactured engine costs more than a quality used engine and often comes with a core charge. A Grade A used engine sourced from a low-mileage vehicle, compression-tested and warranty-backed, delivers OEM reliability at a significantly lower cost. For most vehicles, it is the most practical replacement option available.
Warranty Reassurance
Warranty-Backed As Standard. Not An Add-On.
Every used engine sourced through Precision Parts Pro comes with a minimum 90-day warranty, with coverage extending up to one year depending on the unit. Warranty activation is straightforward, and our team walks you through the process after delivery. If something is not right, we work with the supplier to resolve it. You are not left to manage a problem on your own.
After my Nissan's head gasket blew, I faced the choice of rebuilding or replacing the engine. A local mechanic quoted $5500 for a rebuild, but Larry offered a low-mileage engine for $1050. I took a chance, and six months later, I'm grateful for Larry's expertise and the excellent purchase. Thanks to Larry

Larry provided exceptional service when I urgently needed a transmission for my work truck. From ordering to delivery, the process was hassle-free with excellent customer support. The vehicle has been running perfectly for over three months now.
