Remanufactured Short Block and Long Block Engines

It is forecast that by 2007 there will be approximately 252.3 million vehicles in operation. No engine, despite what often-repeated tall tales and infomercials would have us believe, runs forever. Even the best of engines will eventually wear out. The engine under your hood is comprised of a great number of precisely machined moving parts that work together under brutal conditions to harness the power of internal combustion. If your engine's get-up-and-go has got up and went, or folks call the fire department because of the cloud of smoke emitting from your old bucket, it may be time to consider a remanufactured replacement engine. You can exchange a poorly running, oil-gulping engine for a carefully remanufactured engine that will deliver new car performance.

In the 70's the average family spent 25% of its household income to buy a new car. Today, with the average new car costing $20,000, they have to spend 60% of their income. The cost of used cars today, at an average of $10,000, adds to the difficulty of the average family trying to upgrade their cars economically, not even counting the added costs of putting it on the road - registration, sales and excise taxes, increased insurance premiums, and car loan interest - which will add thousands more to your total cost. In addition, depreciation will cut your new vehicle's value in half within three short years. It's no wonder that the percentage of older vehicles on the road is growing.

With the improved quality of today's bodies and chassis, replacing the engine makes economic sense. With a fraction of the investment, Roadmaster can help you repower your vehicle with a remanufactured engine that has been returned to the original equipment specifications.
