Our new engine test stand is now in service

Running donor engines can now be checked and documented before they are removed from the vehicle.

Donor vehicle ready for mechanical inspection

The shop has added an engine test stand to improve how we document running donor engines. Technicians can now record oil pressure, operating temperature, visible leaks, and a short running-condition note before an engine is prepared for sale.

Those observations will be attached to the engine listing along with the donor stock number and known vehicle mileage.

Customers can request the available test notes and photos when asking about an engine.
