Please give a description of the issue experienced; the more detailed, the better. If you are not entirely sure what the problem is, don't worry. Just explain as best you can.
Good day,
I need a quote for a used engine replacement on my car
2022 Kia Rio 1.4 LS
Current mileage: 77,500km
Engine seized after driving through water (hydrolock).
Dealership confirmed seized engine and I cannot afford their replacement quote.
I want to supply my own used low mileage engine (I can buy from Mr Engine or Rojan). In addition would you provide engine specialist who can assist when purchasing to confirm that the engine is in good condition with all tests and service history being checked.
I would like you to:
1. Remove the old seized engine
2. Install the used engine I provide
3. Replace all necessary gaskets, belts, fluids, filters, and spark plugs
4. Do a full check and test drive
Please send me a detailed quote for your labour and all additional parts (oil, coolant, timing belt kit, etc.). Also, what warranty do you offer on your work?
In addition can you also include diagnostic/ inspection fee for the for my old engine for at least second opinion.
Thank you.
