Severe Winter Weather Wreaks Havoc On Engines; Rebuilding May Be the Answer
BETHESDA, MD – February 10, 2010 – Some of the worst winter weather seen in years can have a destructive impact on a vehicle’s engine. Hard starts, sub-zero temperatures and improper fluid levels or usage can shorten the life of a vehicle by damaging its engine. Many motorists may think their only option is to purchase a new vehicle. Not so, says the Engine Rebuilders Council.
“Many people love the way their car looks and handles, but as a result of the severe winter weather seen by most of the country, many vehicle owners may experience engine trouble,” said Ken Carter, chairman of the Engine Rebuilders Council. “However, a damaged engine doesn’t have to be the end of the car you love. Rebuilding your current engine is a sensible option, extending vehicle life and saving the cost of a new vehicle.
“Engine rebuilding makes economic sense. For the cost of an average down payment on a new car or truck, you can rebuild your current vehicle, gaining years of reliable service and improved fuel economy all without monthly car payments and higher insurance rates.”
With rebuilding, a vehicle’s engine or an identical one from another like-vehicle is completely disassembled, cleaned, machined and remanufactured - rebuilt. Unlike used or junk yard engines with an unknown performance and maintenance history, rebuilded engines are dependable, reliable and backed by excellent warranty programs. In addition to its financial benefits, remanufactured - rebuilt engines also save the tremendous amount of energy used in processing discarded engines and vehicles. Rebuilding your engine also saves an incredible amount of raw materials that would have been used in building a new engine.
“A damaged engine doesn’t have to be the end of the road for your beloved vehicle,” continued Carter. “Rebuilding your engine is both an economically and environmentally sound decision.”
