Why engine overhaul?

"An engine failure can quickly become a nightmare, especially when the search for a suitable repair solution proves to be nerve-wracking and time-consuming. The uncertainty and often high costs increasingly push vehicle owners to their limits."

Heute we will discuss the topic of engine overhaul and why it can often be the better choice compared to purchasing a replacement engine. The engine overhaul offers a tailored solution for your vehicle, especially when it comes to specific engine types that exist in various versions and whose exact specifications are not always clearly identifiable through the chassis number or engine code.

AT-Motor: Poor solution

The risk of receiving an unsuitable replacement engine is high and can lead to further complications. Therefore, we rely on an engine overhaul. This approach not only allows us to determine and fix the exact damage but also to avoid future problems by accurately identifying the cause of the failure, such as a defective injection pump or a damaged injector, and passing this information on to the customer or the installing workshop.

In addition, the costs for procuring a precisely fitting base motor are often very high, as clear assignment is difficult and it requires a significant amount of time to find and procure the right motor. We prefer to invest these resources in the professional Engine overhaul and a transparent Project Management.
