Still waiting! Thank you for the information.
For those who paid these thieves by credit card, file a complaint with the credit card issuer for selling defective products and fraud. The card company will more than likely reverse the sale and credit your card, forcing the fraudsters to pay up.
Great advice.
Quality Used Engines is a total scam. We lost $1,500 on a junkyard engine that did not work.
Best to get a different vehicle
@@ChrisB-cx6td best to spend more than $1500 on a "quality" engine
I am pretty good at reading reviews/ratings before purchase but i was desperate to find a transmission for my 91 Civic. I came across their name and i ordered the transmission. They sent me a broken transmission and i ended up paying the transmission shop another 950.00 for install. I have been calling them on a daily basis for the past 2 weeks with no luck. I just called my credit card company to file a dispute.
Quality used engines almost scammed me right now until I searched them up on RUclips dnd this came up
Same place for me!
@@leift70 what happened you guys just called credit card and charged back?
Iv been shopping for an transmission and came upon that vary ad with the guy pointing his finger in reassurance of their quality. Good looking out, thank you.
Thank god I seen this I was just about to purchase from there and I kept saying this seems like a scam
Trust yourself. First instinct is usually the right one.
i just bought one and didnt find this info out until today. I will update with what happens
same
Any updates?

One time I received a transmission that supposedly had less than 25,000 miles on it. Or at least that’s what I paid for. The trans came rusted to hell and looked like it have 400,000 miles on it. I paid to do a car fax on the VIN because it had the tag with it on it. Also it was from a place in Wisconsin not in FL like I was supposed to get it from. Turns out it had over 200k miles on the trans.
Brandon Becerra lmao
Wow
I bought one from a place in Florida. It probably really did have 79k on it. There was sand encrusted everywhere on this thing. I cleaned it up before I installed it and changed all the seals. After I drove it around for a couple days I changed the oil.(it's a manual transmission). Just in case some sand found its way inside. Maybe I lucked out and got a good one? LOL. I really don't like using auto parts that are 20 years old but a rebuilt transmission costs more than my truck is even worth. I'm not gonna spend $2800 on a $2500 truck. I suppose I could have just went out and bought another used truck,but I might just be buying someone else's problems. Might be buying problems buying a new truck nowadays. My friend from work bought a new Chevy 1500 a couple years ago. That's been back at the dealer a few times with transmission problems. I think they replaced it already. He doesn't even haul anything.
I learned the hard way, too. You just never know what you'll get when buying a used engine/transmission/transfer case/differential. I used to work out of my garage. I've ended up doing the same job twice a few times. After that, I would only install remanufactured engines/transmissions from places that I had used prior. Or have them rebuilt by a machinist that I've known for years. I have used engines from chain auto parts stores, always the more expensive long blocks. Haven't had issues with those, either. Got an Autozone tranny in my jeep right now as a matter of fact. 🤞Naaa, I trust it
Go To The Dealer For Honest Work And Price
Theses part brokering company's are the scourge of the parts industry. I run a small salvage yard and they have screwed us over too. They buy a engine, ship it to you, and dispute the credit card charges( card companies seem to always side with the disputer). So they get a free engine and sell it to you at 2 to 3 the actual valve. And of course they have "remain" or low mileage units, because they decided what miles it will have or if it is "new". People, do you homework. Google there address, if its a strip mall or someones house, BEWARE. If if looks like a actual salvage yard street view it to make sure the names match. Had brokers try several time saying there were with so and so but lying thru their teeth.
powertrain companies on line beware
You guys need more and better quality videos. I'm here to help.
Yeah you guys are the scammers!
@@thomasrhodes1463 how so? thinking of going with Fraser for my 5.4 2 valve

Swengines, Remanns and Transmission world!Beware!
Too good to be true I was going to buy something from them 😂
I want everyone to know that jaspers is a very bad place to do business with. I bought a moter from them and they have had to replace that motor three times now my third motor is now going out and of course my warrenty is over and they still dont want to do anything about this. I recommend not buying anything through this company. This is not how I remember people doing business.
I brought one 7/23 that I paid 3900 over 5000 with financing. The engine went out yesterday 4/24. They saying I had 10 days after receiving the engine to activate the warranty. My vehicle wasn't ready within the ten days. I'm just finding this out. It's in one of the 5 emails that was sent to me. I wish I would've listened to the guy installing my engine he was only giving me a 90 day warranty but was charging more, but he told me I know your engine will last over 5 years if you let me order it for you. I told him how this company was guarantying me a five-year warranty not 90 days that why I went with this company. This goes to show if something sounds too good to be true most likely it is too good to be true. SMH.
Remann's sucks! Stay away, far away! They will do whatever they can to dodge a warranty claim.
The company now goes by first class engines as well. They are the same people with different ip addresses. I recently made that mistake. I'm calling my banks now to try and dispute. I found this out because I had someone call the 2 to contrast the reps. They're both selling the same bullshit. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with these people. It's a scam.
0:04 reporter fail. those engines are used, not new
Actually the reporter is right. There are a couple definitions of new.
One definition of new is something recently acquired.
Yep there is a big difference between buying a "used" engine from middlemen online and buying a rebuilt engine from a company that specializes in that particular engine.
not many companies / machine shops "specialize " in a particular engine .... just doesn't pay the bills and overhead of hundreds of thousands of equipment involved and shop space....... unless you are talking dealer or the auto manufacturer themselves
Of course remans are better. With a real warranty on parts and labor, it's always gonna work out. Yeah, well some ppl can't afford rebuilt, hence we buy used. Buy eBay.. at least you get their guarantee. Bought 3 used engines and used tranny over yrs. Been lucky. Not putting $2500 or 3K or more on reman engines in a 10 yr old civic or Camry. Just not worth it.
Ask the shipping company what address it was picked up from then go pay them a visit. Preferably around midnight 😏
JJH engines is one of them for Honda motors
Ive had several great low mileage engines from engine and transmission world out of Wisconsin..... out of 10+ engines 1 went bad 5 months later and the PROMPTLY SENT FREE REPLACEMENT and I really couldn't blame them because the 3.1 gm were notorious failures.... the 2nd one is still running 6 years later
Ok sooo any recommendations on where to find a dependable engine? A legit company no scam?
Car part, it's similar to ebay
but before you see an engine you like, check the reviews on the seller, there are thousands of engine there, I recommend looking for companies near you though, so you could pick it up after verifying the company, so sort by distance
Face it, there's not one company that is honest when it comes to remanufactured engines. Honesty and integrity are not part of their vocabulary.
They Are a scam
Power train Corp sent me a rebuilt transmission for a Ford f350 upon installion transmission does not shift at all first transmission was lost in shipment to me would not deal with this company again they are hard to get a hold of when you have a complaint and offer excuses for product five thumbs down for this company buyer beware don't do business with them look at customer reviews first and all of customer complaints about this business Why has the atty general turned a blind eye about this business for a long time would be interested to know that a very angry upset consumer I am for dealing with this company Buyer beware Mr J
Stay away from Accurate Engines.never purchase a engine from this company. They sent me a defective engine with old freeze plugs and old timing chain guides.
Lol you get quotes online not buy it lolol
They so rude. 🙄
Yes they are!
What a sorry company they are still with the shits
First Class Engines is their current name.
Get your engine from Powertrain Products. Don't even fool with anyone else (including Jasper).
We've ordered from power train and our mechanic had stated the engine install kit came with some super cheap gaskets and bolts we had to go back and purchase better ones from the dodge and Chevy store. Did you experience similar issues with this or never ordered the install kit as wel
This is a scam company be careful do not buy engine from them .
USA Auto in Vegas is the worst place to get engine work done.
Has anyone used Fraser engine I already got ripped off of 4700 from a auto shop at USA Auto not trying to loose more money.
Did you go wit Fraser or were did you go for yr engine?
