When your vehicle engine fails, replacing it with a brand-new unit can be extremely expensive. Many vehicle owners today choose used engines because they provide reliable performance at a much lower price. At Junky Auto Parts, customers can find quality used engines for sale, low mileage used engines, and affordable replacement engines designed to restore vehicle performance without overspending.
When an engine fails, most vehicle owners face the same calculation — a new dealer engine costs $4,000 to $8,500 before labor, while a quality used engine for sale from a trusted supplier delivers the same OEM performance at 50 to 70 percent less. At Junky Auto Parts, every used car engine in our inventory is physically inspected, compression-tested, and mileage-verified before listing. We stock engines for 40+ vehicle makes — from Ford, Chevy, and Honda to BMW, Toyota, and Nissan — covering domestic trucks, imported sedans, and performance vehicles.
The reason used engines are growing in demand is straightforward. Dealer parts backlogs, discontinued new units, and rising repair costs have pushed millions of American vehicle owners toward the tested used engine market. A verified low mileage used engine from a reputable supplier with a written warranty is not a compromise — it is the financially intelligent decision for any vehicle worth keeping.
Every used engine with warranty at Junky Auto Parts is covered by our 4-year / 40,000-mile warranty — whichever comes first — included in the purchase price at no extra cost. This covers all major internal components from the installation date. No fine print. No surprise exclusions.
Free shipping applies to all commercial addresses across all 50 US states. Residential delivery carries a $150 liftgate fee. Every engine ships securely packed with a reliable freight carrier and full tracking from dispatch. There is no core charge on any used engine we sell — your old engine stays with you.
We do not pull an engine from a salvage yard and ship it. Every unit at Junky Auto Parts goes through four documented quality steps:
Step 1 — Visual Inspection. Our team examines each engine for cracks, oil leaks, rust, damaged components, and signs of prior overheating or collision damage. Units that fail visual inspection are rejected immediately.
Step 2 — Compression Testing. A cylinder-by-cylinder compression test confirms internal engine health. Engines with low or uneven compression across cylinders are not listed for sale — regardless of how good they look externally.
Step 3 — Mileage Verification. We cross-reference donor vehicle records to confirm the mileage shown on each listing is accurate. We never estimate mileage or list engines with unverifiable records.
Step 4 — Grade Assignment. Every engine receives a Grade A, B, or C quality rating clearly displayed on the listing. Grade A is our highest classification — reserved for engines that pass every step without qualification.
Whether you need a used truck engine for a Ford F-150, Ram 1500, or Chevy Silverado, a used SUV engine for a Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, or Jeep Grand Cherokee, or a used sedan engine for a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, or Nissan Altima — Junky Auto Parts covers them all. Use the search tool above to find your exact engine by make, model, year, and engine size. Our specialists are available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM EST at (606) 503-9233 to confirm compatibility before you order.
Each used by us undergoes a rigorous inspection process in our California facility before shipment. First, the engine is visually inspected for damage or defect. Then, they undergo compression tests to ensure strong internal performance. Any engine that does not meet our quality standards is rejected. We clean and prepare each engine so that it is ready for installation. Our team only passes strict criteria to the engines of ships, ensuring that our customers receive a product that runs smoothly and firmly. This depth process helps us distribute engines that meet or overcome expectations, while post-installation reduces the risk of problems.
Janky Auto Parts offer one of the best warranties in the used engine industry-which is 4 years or 40,000-miles part warranty, which also comes first. This warranty comes free from every purchase and covers major internal components. To activate the warranty, the installation must be done by an ASE-prohibited mechanic, and the warranty should be registered within 10 commercial days of delivery. Alternative extended warranties are also available for additional coverage. Our warranty ensures that you get more than only one engine-you get peace of mind for a long time. We are committed not only to provide parts, but reliable solutions can rely on you.
We do not carry out a core fee, but we ask that you return your original engine core within 30 days of delivery. The engine should be in the same assembled position when it was removed - a dissembled or damaged core can zero your warranty and refund eligibility. Core returns help us recycle valuable engine content and keep the cost low for customers. We make the return process very easy and also help you. Returning your engine core on time keeps your warranty valid and helps to keep our pricing competitive for all customers.
We provide free shipping for commercial addresses in all 50 American states, rapid delivery over all orders over time. If you are receiving the engine at a residential address, the $150 liftgate fee will apply. The engine is safely packed to prevent damage in transit, and we partner with a reliable freight carrier to ensure safe delivery. It is necessary to inspect your engine in delivery - claims require any damage within 48 hours. Our logistics team is here to assist with tracking, delivery scheduling and any shipping-related questions. We prioritize fast, safe and reliable shipping every time you order.
