Do not do business with this company! They are the worst in every way! They are dishonest, rude and once they get your money they will do as they please and take forever.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Pathetic attitudes throughout. Once they get your money they will treat you with disrespect and rude behavior.

They will take forever and very difficult to reach them to get information. After taking forever to get what you paid for they will take forever to return the money for the core charge and will then inform you the core must be usable at their discretion. Accurate engines is one of the worst companies I have dealt with. I would absolutely not send anyone to them for any reason.

You will not have anything like a good experience.

I thought I would have to file a law suit just to get what I paid for and still don't have my core charge the billed me for saying it would be returned. Do not do business with Accurate engines!

Sold me a defective engine.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Jan 16, 2024

Sold me a defective engine. 4.6L Ford.

They said they would rebuild my engine. I sent it to them. They sent me a different engine. It was defective.

Freeze plug was old and rusty and leaks coolant into my oil system. 1 timing chain guide was old and missing a washer. 1 side was new the other side old.The 1 guide was yellow and the other new and white. It also was loose and not tight caught it in time before it caused more damage.

They sent the oil pan and timing chain cover back off my old engine not cleaned. Valve cover grommets they sent the wrong ones. Dan the Salesmen hung up on me. They want honor the warranty and are monitoring my phone number and want answer my calls.

They don't even know what my issues are with their engine. Don't buy from them. Call them and see if you can get a answer from anyone other than sales.

You can't. You can see the yellow/old timing chain guide behind the factory wrap.

Sent a supposedly new reman engine with old Timing chain guides and old freeze plugs that leaked coolant into the oil.ignore purchasing anything from Accurate Engines.never purchase a engine from this company. Sent the old oil pan and timing chain cover back dirty. You can see the old timing chain guides behind the factory wrap sent from Accurate Engines. They did replace the seal in the timing chain cover and sent the wrong valve cover grommets. You can see the old timing chain guide behind the factory wrap.

They put a new 4 cylinder in my Equinox. They picked it up when they said they would, they got it back to me when they said they would. And the bill was what they told me it would be. They kept me in the loop on everything, very happy.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Ordered a 3.1 liter refurbished engine from Accurate Engines, to go in my 1999 Chevy Malibu that I jus had luckily managed to buy from late Senior Pastors family. I had it shipped to my mechanic that recommended I do some research on my make and model car and look into buying a refurbished engine instead of getting a mechanic shop to build me a whole new engine he stated they make engines newly restored.

The mechanics received the engine and after many attempts to get the car running the engine ultimately failed. i later took the engine to a certified engine builder where there team assured us that even though the engine was new it had a bad block and in no way in the time I had the engine or the my mechanic could there be wear this extensive that could've been put on the engine in the first couple thousand miles and also wouldnt run correctly or at all for that matter. I happened to talk to Accurate Engines about there engine not performing and they stated that I should send the engine in and they'll get there warranty department to see if they were going to do anything about the bad engine block that was discovered in a newly refurbished engine with 0 mileage. Currently 6 months have gone by my car is still sitting in my mechanics shop, and Accurate engines has told me numerous times that there looking in to this matter, once a manager told me that there going to see what they could do to correct this matter, that was 2 months ago and they haven't been answering there phones since.

I've been leaving emails and phone messages with my concerns on resolving this matter. 0 communication at Accurate

At first we were upset because Accurate Engines put a new engine in our truck and then on our way home we broke down! However I texted right away and they replied it in the evening after hours. Then, first thing in the morning I received another text and they told me that they would pick up the truck and tow it for free. They then fixed the problem within a day and a half and actually drove the truck and dropped it off to our personal driveway!!! Thank you so much Accurate Engines!

Terrible warranty service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My engine was approximately 17 months old when it went out. They told me to return the engine, and they would have a replacement engine shipped back within 48 hours. They received my engine at their facility on August 13, 2020. I received my replacement engine on September 3, 2020. I continually called Lanny and the warranty department but basically received no responses. Every once in a while I would get an email or text. I was asked to send a photo of the engine compartment as the replacement engine did not fit. I did so immediately and have never heard back. My installer had to find a kit so the replacement engine could be installed. I have called to ask about an additional warranty on the replacement engine, but have never received a response.

DONT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

accurate engines sent me a rebuilt block that had a timing chain issue,it only lasted 450 miles, and once it was sent back it took 3 months to be returned, though it came back with obvious damages. so when sending it back it has been 4 months and I still have not received it back. I have more than a dozen recordings of them hardly answering and when they do they are very short and domineering remarks, while seemingto be put out with my questions. I was told by Ron that "accurate engines is a reproable company, and they put out 30 engines a week"..... though apparently when they rebuild a rebuild for the second time it seems to be on the back burner and nowhere near there priority list. So far I've lost wages had to pay my mechanic to pull it back out, and when I eventually get it back. I'll have to pay him to put it back in. with the extra money I've had to spend and the loss wages I could have bought another truck, which contradicts the whole reason of replacing the engine in my current truck. Accurate engines is blaming the delivery company for damages, thought the way it was strapped to the pallet was horrible. The 1st engine was strapped very well. which shows that they know how to strap it correctly, but the second time around they were just pushing it through the line and in a hurry. When I sent it back I had one ratchet strap on it, and it didnt move. I never got that ratchet strap back even though I wrote PLEASE RETURN in 3 different places on it. When I asked for my money back they told me "we cant do that". So I've waited for the reproable part of the business to show its self though I've never seen it. Accurate engines has not cooperated with the BBB, showing that there not concerned with the problems at hand as long as they have you $$$$$. Please refer to the pictures as proof,. take note of how the straps were attempted to be put on. There's no option for this rating but I would have to give ) 0 stars for all categories. It's obvious if your not a mechanic shop ordering several engines a year they are not interested in righting there wrong.

I was also told by the rebuild Department if I did not like the way things were being handled my engine would be sent back in pieces along with whatever money was left this I have in a text from the rebuild Department

Original review Dec 11, 2019
I get told for $2,500 I can get a engine that has 100,000 mile warranty on it for 5 years I then get told that half of the money would be taken from my account and when completed the other half would be taken . This did not turn out that way as all the money was taken from my account in a one shot deal.

I was not informed that all the money was taken from my bank account until I received my bank statement the salesman was unaware of the office's actions as well. After waiting a couple weeks I chose to check on the engine and got someone telling me that there might be parts that need to be totally replaced I told them what I was told by the salesman and that Parts should be there and I should get my money's worth of what I paid they seem to be upset of that statement however I expect to get what I am promise. I was then told there would be extra charges of which I was informed by the salesman there would be no hidden cost that the $2,500 covered the engine going to them being torn down rebuilt and sent back to me this person on the phone had a different opinion and I informed them of what was told to me by the salesman 4 weeks went by and I was told that the parts were in total of 6 weeks they had my motor I was informed by the salesman he was told it would be getting worked on and hopefully send out that Friday three weeks later I called the salesman to find out what was going on with the motor again I was informed it was being worked on and it would be getting sent out chocolate 9 weeks go by and I text the company to get told the engine is being worked on and they were hoping for it to go out around Thanksgiving weekend 2 weeks later I am back with trying to correspond with the company who does not correspond except for the salesman who tells me to call the number of where the engine is being rebuilt and talk with the person who answers the texts in reference to what is the prognosis of my engine with just one question if I had the 2.4 engine no reply after that.

During the first four weeks I was informed that the company really does not do Jeep engines as the parts are hard to find I was informed that the company had all parts there for rebuilding my engine and notified the salesman if I would have known this was going to take place I would of not use their company due to the fact that I am not getting anywhere or getting answers over the past 4 weeks 5 weeks I am starting to wonder what is actually going on the salesman cannot give me any information and has told me again to contact their number which at one point in time was not active by the company's service provider for that phone I then contacted the salesman who later assured me the phone was in working order as he had correspondence with the Rebuilder 2 hours prior . I contacted the Rebuilder and was basically asked are you calling in reference of the 2.4 Jeep engine I stated yes and gave the invoice number and have not heard back since I then left a message this evening waiting on reply from your company regarding my engine I was informed the company had all parts the company did not it took over a month to be told that they found parts for my engine two of which were supposedly word supposably main that is if I ever get my engine back parts which I will be requesting back and have examine my engine was taken in the middle of September and is now almost the end of December: I'm giving the company staff 3 Stars for the salesman who has been through each and every step of sales purchase and getting information for me that I was not getting from the other phone number of where it's being rebuilt as no correspondence really is being giving//f www.paypal.com/sig nin?intent=checkout&;;;;ctxId=ullndg7bfa98d610964db7883****ee2eb1285&;returnUri=%2Fwebapps%2Fhermes&state=%3Fflow%3D1-P%26ulReturn%3Dtrue%26token%3DEC-0HY126323M748294W&locale.x=en_US&country.x=US&flowId=EC-0HY126323M748294W

2 months after core was returned $500 was withdrawn from my account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Filed against : Accurate Engines 2840 Dormax St SW Grandville MI 49418-**** Complaint Description: Removed $500 from my checking account, without verifying within their business, if and when core was returned 60 days after core was already shipped. On 8/6/19 I noticed while viewing my bank statement that I had a pending transaction from accurate engines for $500 dollars. I immediately called my mechanic to verify when engine core was picked up. My mechanic said it was picked up by the shipping company that was verified with packaging envelope with instructions by accurate engines when remanufactured engine was shipped. I called the shipping company and they informed me the engine was picked up on 6/24/19 and shipped to accurate engine on 6/27/19 and signed by accurate engine staff. I called accurate engine and spoke with Lanny and told him that I was upset that $500 was taken from my account when the engine had been returned on time and after I was delayed in receiving the remanufactured engine 2weeks after I bought it. He informed me that they didnt recieve the engine and that he would check and call me back in the morning of 8/8/19. On 8/8/19 I called back after 10 times and finally got through only for Lanny to see " yeah we got it and ill have the girls in the office to cut you a check on Saturday 8/10/19 . I said to him why should I receive a mailed check when you took my money deliberately from my account after the core was returned on 8/27/19 and I emailed you the receipt where you staff signed for it. He said the check is coming and what did I want him to do. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. I waited until 8/15/19 and called back at least 20 times and received no answer. Then when I got through, he said they sent it or that he think. I said to him I just want my money back and its unfair that I did everything I was supposed to do by buying a $3000 engine from them only to have money stolen from my account. This company has caused me so much aggravation and stress about a engine core that was returned well within the time frame of return. I just want my $500 back, they have the engine, after I purchased their engine, I had to wait 2weeks, which my mechanic had to push my vehicle time to be fixed back, when I called Lanny, he said additional parts would be placed on the remanufactured engine I was buying. I told him he needed to call my mechanic so I wouldnt be charged a storage fee on the delay of my engine. Lanny called my mechanic and told hime that my engine was not ready to be shipped because their were extra parts that needed to be installed. My concern is, if I could wait 2weeks after I paid almost $3000 dollars for a engine and had to wait 3weeks before I recieved the engine, why was their nit a courteous to me on the return core and havinv a problem with receiving $500 taken out of my account almost 2months after I returned the core. I am upset and would like my hard earned money to be returned.

9000 miles on a new motor it came unglued in August under their 100,000 mile warranty. They have had the vehicle twice now since they rebuilt it burns blue smoke right out of the back of the motor. Don't let this company touch your vehicle spend extra and take it to a OEM dealer. By the way Issues started in August of 2019 it now October 23, 2019.

Bought an engine back in July, but there are/were compression issues with the engine. Accurate blames the mechanic, mechanic blames Accurate. During all of this I am hopeful that Accurate (like my mechanic) will at least treat me (the paying customer) with respect and keep me informed on what they find out during the process of getting this resolved. I can't get anyone from Accurate Engines to call me back with status updates, nor can I get anyone on the phone long enough to get my money back. This isn't a good working business model, and I feel for any individual looking for good service here. That's not been my experience. Next steps are getting a lawyer involved to hopefully reclaim some of my money.
