Engine replacement in Málaga

If your engine has failed or another garage has advised replacing it, tell us what happened and share any findings you have. We’ll explain what needs checking before we can propose a replacement and what fitting it would involve.

How we assess a replacement

Identify the car and the fault

Tell us the make, model and year, along with the diagnosis if you have one. An engine code can help if you already know it. With that information, we can discuss what needs checking on your car before an option is proposed.

Check what can be fitted

A suitable replacement depends on the engine reference and the vehicle’s configuration. Two units that look similar may use different components. If a rebuilt or used unit can be sourced for your car, we explain the condition and terms of the specific option so you can compare it.

Understand the installation

We explain what the proposed work covers, including the selected engine, removal and fitting, any additional parts needed and the checks agreed before handover. If the original failure points to an issue that could affect the replacement, we discuss it as part of the assessment.

Should you replace or rebuild your engine?

If the main components are recoverable, a rebuild of your own engine may still be worth pricing. If the fault is limited to one area, see whether a targeted repair is viable. We can also assess the damaged unit for a possible engine exchange where that arrangement is available.

Questions to ask before you replace an engine

Can you get an engine for my car?

We start with compatibility, then check what can be sourced for that vehicle. Send the car details and tell us what the inspection has found so far.

What will it cost and how long will it take?

The answer depends on the unit proposed, its availability and the work and parts needed to fit it. Ask for the quote and timing once there is a specific option to assess.

I already have a replacement engine. Can you fit it?

Speak to us before arranging transport. We need to consider the unit’s reference and condition and which parts of the job the workshop could take on.

What warranty would apply?

Before approving the work, ask what the warranty on the proposed replacement covers and how to contact the workshop if a problem arises with the engine or fitting. Warranty information.

Tell us about the car and the proposed replacement

Share the car’s details, the diagnosis you have and where it is. If it’s off the road, we can discuss getting it to the workshop by arrangement.
