It’s not what you want to hear from your auto mechanic after he has taken a look at your car to diagnose what is causing the clattering noise and smoking exhaust.  No engine service is more major than an engine rebuild.  This type of engine service usually requires a lot of time and money.  Before making a decision to either replace your old engine with a new one or to have an engine rebuild, it is wise to consider the differences between them.

Engine Replacement – A replacement typically involves either a new engine from the factory or one that has been reconditioned.  The new is more expensive but typically has a better warranty.  A reconditioned engine (one that has been entirely disassembled, repaired with either reconditioned parts or new parts and reassembled) is less expensive but generally does not have the same warranty as new.  Both choices are reliable.  Your decision will depend on what you can afford to pay, and how long your vehicle has to stay in the auto shop.  If you plan to sell or trade your car anytime soon, it would probably be most economical to have a reconditioned engine installed instead of brand new.

Engine Rebuild – This is when the automotive shop removes the original engine from your car and rebuilds it from top to bottom.  This means repairing parts that can be repaired and replacing other parts that are not salvageable with either reconditioned or new.  Then, it is reassembled and reinstalled into your car.  The cost of an engine rebuild depends upon the automotive service center and its resources.

Get all the facts before choosing between a replacement or a rebuild so you can make a wise and intelligent decision.
