FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions About Used Engines & Transmissions?

Find answers about compatibility, ordering, shipping, warranty coverage, installation requirements, and returns.

Will the engine or transmission fit my vehicle?

Compatibility depends on the specific vehicle configuration. Provide your year, make, model, engine information, and VIN when requested so our team can assist with fitment verification before purchase.

Do you need my VIN number?

A VIN may be requested when additional vehicle configuration information is needed to help verify compatibility before your order is completed.

Are your engines and transmissions used or rebuilt?

Thrifty Engines specializes in pre-owned used engines and transmissions. A unit should not be considered rebuilt or remanufactured unless specifically identified that way in the product or order documentation.

What does the limited warranty cover?

Warranty coverage is limited primarily to eligible internally lubricated components. Coverage, exclusions, installation requirements, claim procedures, time limits, mileage limits, and other conditions are detailed in the Thrifty Engines Warranty Policy.

When does warranty coverage begin?

Warranty coverage begins on the original delivery date and applies to the original purchaser and original vehicle listed on the invoice. Coverage expires when either the applicable time or mileage limit is reached, whichever occurs first.

What should I do when my order arrives?

Inspect the shipment immediately. Visible shipping damage or missing items must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, documented with photos, and noted with the carrier upon receipt.

Can a used engine or transmission show cosmetic wear?

Yes. Used components may show normal wear, surface rust, or cosmetic imperfections consistent with age. Warranty coverage relates to eligible mechanical performance rather than appearance.

How do I start a return request?

Eligible return requests must be initiated within 7 calendar days from the original delivery date and require prior authorization. Contact Thrifty Engines support before returning any item.
