Not following through on warranty

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

Ive had the new engine for less than 2 months and its already misfiring. They are trying to say the ABS is causing a misfire which is total BS.

Every single mechanic I called said absolutely never does an abs issue cause a misfire but a misfire can cause the abs light to come on. Dont waste any if your money here!!!

Delivered engine damaged putting on bad pallet with box on top

Accurate Engines - Delivered engine damaged putting on bad pallet with box on top

I got a damaged engine from Accurate, putting it on a bad wooden pallet. They strapped it to the pallet with a cardboard box over it to protect it.

Wow. The boards broke, the engine fell over, and broke more of the pallet. I did not sign for it; I got pictures. They got the engine back.

I told them just to refund my money back: $3,458. They kept $1,556; they said it was shipping and 20%. That way, more than 20%, they should have not charged at all. They are crooks; do not deal with them.

Many have been screwed over the same way. No engine out of $1,556. Being a Democrat state, I guess they can screw you over like the Democrats can do. I will be talking to the state general attorney soon.

Buy somewhere else; pass this along to as many as you can. See how long they stay in business.

Dead Engine

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

Bought the engine for a Jeep. It leaked oil from day one.

The lifter broke within months. They kept the money from the warranty. Communication is worthless; my dog communicates better. They will take your money and never look back.

They will not honor the warranty.

You will lose money buying from and trusting them.

Loss total: 4k engine, 5k engine install, 2k oil leak, 3k lifter replacement = all covered under warranty, and they kept the funds.

BOUGHT A "LIKE NEW" ENGINE 2 MTHS AGO STILL DONT HAVE A RUNNING ENGINE

They said they dissassembled engine checked and reassembled it sent back to shop doing the work. When it got there they borre scopped the engine and found they did nothing to repair it they sent me pictures and said they would not reinstall because it was no good.

I sent them copies of the pictures and told them i want my money back it has now been 3 months of tese lies they have yetto respond to me triedMi. attorney general have heard nothing .

Original review Dec 31, 2024
My son researched engines and found this web site and called and talked to Tony while I was getting a truck back from Utah with a bad engine. I then contacted Tony at accurate engines multiple times asking questions and printed info from accurate eng web site.

Leading to putting required $2,000 dep on 11/04/2024 and truck vin number for engine specs request arp stud up date with engine build and agreed to $500 upgrade charge. They requested payment for the engine before shipping which I paid 11/12/2024. Engine was finally delivered to J C Automotive for installation on 11/18/2024. When J C auto went to install injectors they couldn't do it because the different length studs were installed in the wrong locations.

We contacted them and took multiple days for accurate to contact JC and authorize fixing this problem. After repairing and installing the motor and starting it never left the shop because of excessive crankcase pressure which also caused rear main oil seal leak. JC videoed pressure blowing out oil fill cap and sent it to accurate. JC finally got authorization to remove and strip the engine back and shipped to them 12/18/2024.

Brintany finally called me 12/30/2024 and said they were going to check it tomorrow and will let me know what's wrong. They only agreed to pay for half of the labor for JC to remove the engine and ship it to them and reassemble and install when returned. They have yet to send me the like new remanufactured engine they advertised to me in advertised and contracted condition why should i have to pay to remove and disassemble then reassemble and reinstall a engine that was remanufactured like new when it has never left the shop and should be runnable. I Have paid those charges already to Jcs and should not have to do it again.

It would be a breach of contract to supply remanufactured like new engine . I had to borrow money to pay for all of this which I have done after more than 2 months and time. I still don't have my motor. and this is how I make my living now making payments but no truck to generate income and have had to make 2 payments to the bank already.

I have emails, text and documentations for all of the above. I have been completely transparent with both accurate engines and Jc auto shop in Monroe city missouri.

I feel as if Accurate Engines should cover the costs and responsibility of the disassembly and shipping to fix the original engine, the fact that the engine that was delivered and installed the first time was not like new and in running order with no fault to myself of Jcs auto shop which I have hired to install the engine. I need this to be made right and the engine to be sent to Jcs to be exactly what the contract has stated.

THE WORST COMPANY

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

Don't use them. Stay away.

The warranty is terrible. Their service is also terrible. Did I mention they're awful? If you've read this review, understand that if you proceed with this company, you should instead go to Las Vegas.

Your chances would be better there.

I gave them one star because there's no lower rating to give them.

Please do not use this company.

Be very careful with Accurate Engines! I sent my Ford 6.7 engine to be rebuilt and it never came back.

They sent me another long block and kept all my parts!! Im missing front, rear cover, oil pan and lower oil pan! Not to mention the hardware!! They were very apoplectic and assured me they would send me my missing parts.

This never happened and now Im out over 1000 in parts and hardware. Im made a report to the Better Business Bureau and these people still havent sent my parts or responded to me. Next Ill be filing a police report for theft and seek legal action! Do not deal with this place very unprofessional.

Ron, Britney, and George are complete liars and will tell you anything to keep you waiting. Ive been in this mess since November last year!!

No response from Accurate Engines. I can share more pictures in detail if needed.

Still leaving customers including myself with defective engines. Hurting families all over the USA.

Original review updated 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.

Poor quality and no warranty.

New "rebuild" I purchased had low compression on cylinder #1. It was taken back out and sent to factory for repair.

It came back and still was not fixed. My mechanic found the the two valve stems in the #1 cylinder were to long. They said take it out and send it back again. My mechanic ground some length of the valve stems and got it running good.

Now accurate engines will not pay for the extra labor or valve grinding.

So their warranty and workmanship really suck. I guess we will have to make a trip to Michigan and go to court.

Engine repair questionable

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

I took my Ford F150 in for a reconditioned motor installation and when I originally took it in, it had a manifold leak. However, they don't answer their phones or return messages at all.

There is no explanation of services by a human at all! The quote was 6k. After tearing down the vehicle, they informed me that it needed new eco-boosters and a water pump, costing another 4k. The water pump was only 6 months old but they insisted the warranty would be void if they didn't replace it.

After a couple of months, they returned it to me with a still loud exhaust manifold and a leaking timing cover seal. I took my car to my mechanic concerning the exhaust manifold and they said that such an issue should have never been missed if they replaced the engine. Now, I'm doubting whether I even received a replacement. I took it back to Accurate and they had to pull the manifolds, grind down, and claimed it had a broken bolt in the manifold.

Oddly, they didn't notice all this initially even though they were the only ones who worked on it. It cost me another 600 dollars for them to fix this issue. I would never use this company again or recommend it to anyone. They do not communicate well and I'm seriously doubting the quality of work I received.

Also, I received the vehicle back with the check engine light on. The manifold leak that was there from the start should never have existed when it came back if they had pulled the motor according to my mechanic.

Haven't heard anything about the engine I bought from accurate engine. No communication at all

Original review Apr 11, 2024
I bought a 2.4 Chevy engine from accurate and installed it in the car. Couldn't get the car out of power reduced mode after installing.

After countless hours of changing parts and rechecking my work I couldnt get the car to run properly. Finally took the car to the local Chevy dealer. They diagnosed it and found it had a missing cam follower. Diagnostic and repair cost me nearly $600.

Called accurate about the issue thinking they should at least pay for a portion of the bill. The response I got from them is I'm sorry. Not one cent in comparison.

DO NOT buy an engine from this crooked company. The owner seems like a real nice guy but runs a crooked operation, doesn't stand behind his produces.
