How Engines Are Packed
- Oil and coolant are drained before dispatch so nothing leaks in transit.
- Open ports, the intake and the flywheel housing are sealed and covered.
- The engine is bolted into a steel mounting frame or cradle so it can be moved by forklift at both ends.
- The reference number is marked on the crate and matches the number on your invoice.
- Every shipment is insured for the invoice value and tracked door to door.
Collection From Our Yard
You are welcome to collect from 7250 NW 74th Street, Miami, FL 33166. There is semi access and forklift loading on site, so a flatbed, van or trailer is all you need. Book a pickup slot with the engine desk and wait for the "ready for collection" confirmation before traveling - engines are only released once they are crated and the paperwork is signed. Pickup hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 - 17:00 ET, Saturday 08:00 - 13:00 ET.
Receiving the Delivery
- Someone must be on site with a forklift to take the pallet off the truck. Liftgate delivery cannot be assumed for a full engine - ask us to add it if you need it.
- Check the crate before you sign. Note any visible damage on the carrier's paperwork.
- Photograph transit damage and tell us within 48 hours so we can claim against the carrier.
- Keep the steel frame and packaging - you need them to return the core and reclaim the deposit.
What the Lines on Your Invoice Mean
Core charge
A refundable amount added to the invoice against your old engine. Send the old unit back drained and complete on the same pallet and we refund the core charge in full. If the block is cracked or major components are missing we refund a reduced amount, and we tell you the figure before processing it.
Engine-mount deposit
A separate refundable deposit on the steel mounting frame the engine travels in. Return the frame with the core - or hand it to the driver on a return collection - and the deposit is credited back to you.
Freight
Quoted per engine and per destination, because weight and distance both matter on a 2,200 lb pallet. You will always see the freight figure before you pay. Collection removes it entirely.
Sales Tax
- Prices on the site are shown in US dollars before sales tax unless the listing says otherwise.
- Florida sales tax is added to orders delivered or collected in Florida at the applicable state and county rate.
- Orders shipped to other states are taxed where we have an economic-nexus obligation; the rate for your ship-to address is shown on the invoice before you pay.
- Repair shops and fleets buying for resale can be invoiced tax-exempt - send us a valid resale certificate or exemption certificate for your state and we will keep it on file.
- Export orders leave tax-free against proof of export; import duty and taxes at the destination are payable by the buyer.
Worth Knowing
- Transit times are estimates. Weather, terminal congestion and carrier capacity can move them by a day.
- A complete truck engine weighs roughly 1,500 lb to 2,900 lb. Please confirm you can unload it.
- Rural ZIP codes, limited-access addresses and mountain routes can add 1-2 business days.
- Remanufactured engines built to order ship once the build is finished - we confirm the build time when you ask.
- We can hold an engine at the yard for a short period if your shop slot is later; just tell the desk.
