Terms and Conditions
Top summary answer
In short: A2Z Engines supplies used, reconditioned and remanufactured engines and transmissions, with fitment verified against your engine code before dispatch. Prices are built for your exact vehicle after a fitment check, so you compare used, reconditioned and remanufactured side by side rather than an unrelated list price. Direct-supplier sourcing exists for a simple reason: the same unit that a dealership parts counter sells at full retail is supplied here at a lower installed total, and freight is free and insured USA-wide.
Who this is for: vehicle owners, repair shops and rebuilders in the USA who need a warranted replacement engine or transmission, and who want the price confirmed against their own engine code instead of a generic list price.
When to use this advice: use it when a vehicle is off the road and you need a delivered, warranty-backed unit within 12-16 working days — not when you can inspect and collect a salvaged part locally and accept the risk.
Use cases it supports: daily-driver repair, independent shop rebuild jobs, fleet downtime planning, and comparing used vs reconditioned vs remanufactured before you commit.
The primary reason these terms exist is that engines are matched to a specific vehicle rather than sold as a generic part, so pricing, fitment and returns all depend on the exact engine code and order details.
How is my price determined?
Your price is confirmed after a fitment check against your engine code and is quoted in three tiers: used, reconditioned and remanufactured.
Prices shown in the quote tool are estimates. The binding figure is the one confirmed by a specialist by phone or email before dispatch. Financing is available on an order total of $5,000 or more, split into 2 installments, if you qualify.
Who is responsible for confirming the engine fits?
We verify the engine code against your vehicle before dispatch, and you confirm the vehicle details given to us are correct.
Where a platform was offered with more than one engine code, we confirm the code with you first. Installations performed by a non-qualified workshop may void the warranty — see the warranty claim policy.
How do core returns work?
Where a unit is sold on a core-exchange basis, the old unit must be returned within the stated core window in a condition suitable for rebuilding.
- Keep the original packaging the replacement arrived in.
- Drain fluids and seal all ports before return.
- Book the return with the specialist handling your order.
- Cores returned incomplete, cracked or dismantled may be subject to a partial core charge.
How is freight handled?
Freight is free and insured on every order, USA-wide, with delivery in 12–16 working days and lift-gate coordination where required.

| Lead time | 12–16 working days typical |

What about warranty and liability limits?
Warranty is 9/16/36 months by tier and covers the supplied unit; it does not cover labour, towing or consequential losses.

Written notices should be sent to QB AUTOZ LLC, 140 McNair Springs Rd, Mount Olive, MS 39119, USA, or emailed to support@a2zengines4sale.com.

Is a tested used engine better than a junkyard core?
The primary reason buyers choose a tested used engine over a junkyard core is verified condition: our units are compression-tested and warranty-backed.
| Option | Cost | Warranty | Testing | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tested OEM used (A2Z) | Below dealer | 9 months / 6,000 mi | Compression + run test | Good, verified |
| Remanufactured (A2Z) | Middle | 36 months / 36,000 mi | Built to specification | Highest |
| Junkyard core | Lowest | Often none | Rarely tested | Variable |
How do I confirm the engine fits my vehicle?
Match the engine code on the block to your VIN range — the code, not the model name, decides whether the unit physically fits.
| Engine variant | Year range | Compatible models | VIN check | Typical pairing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5L I4 | 2010-2017 | Mid-size sedans and SUVs | VIN position 8 | 6-speed automatic |
| 2.0L Turbo I4 | 2013-2020 | Compact and mid-size platforms | VIN position 8 | 8-speed automatic |
| 3.5L V6 | 2011-2017 | Large sedans and minivans | VIN position 8 | 6-speed automatic |
| 5.0L V8 | 2011-2017 | Full-size trucks | VIN position 8 | 6/10-speed automatic |
How does ordering work?
Ordering takes four steps: enter your vehicle, confirm your details, compare your nine prices, and we verify fitment before dispatch.
- Enter your vehicle: make, model and condition preference.
- Confirm your contact details and review the summary.
- Compare nine price options across three warranty tiers.
- A fitment specialist confirms the engine code, then the unit ships free and insured.
What do the engine terms mean?
A used engine is a tested original unit that has not been rebuilt.
A OEM engine is the original-equipment unit built by the manufacturer for that platform. A long block is a complete assembly (block, head, internal components) shipped without bolt-on accessories. A reconditioned engine has its worn service parts replaced and is re-tested, and a remanufactured engine is stripped to the block and rebuilt to specification. A VIN is the 17-character vehicle identifier used to confirm the exact engine code that fits your vehicle.
