Check Engine Availability
Tell us the vehicle. We work out which engine it takes and check what is actually available for it across the Valley.
Why the engine code field is optional
Almost every used-engine listing is organised by engine code, which assumes you already know yours. Most people do not, and there is no good reason that should be a barrier to getting a quote.
The year, model and trim identify the engine on nearly every vehicle we handle. That identification is the work. Doing it is the point of this site rather than something you should have to complete before you are allowed to ask a question.
If you would rather do it yourself, the engine code guide shows where each manufacturer stamps it, and the vehicle pages break each model down by generation and trim.
What we do with what you send
Your details are used to answer your request and nothing else. Your name, phone number, email, VIN and ZIP are never sent to an analytics platform: the privacy page describes exactly what is stored and what is not.
We serve Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria and the rest of the Valley. If you are outside the metro, say so and we will tell you honestly whether freight makes sense.
Common questions
What information do you actually need?
Year, make, model and trim, plus a way to reach you and a ZIP code. Everything else is optional. The trim is the field that most often decides which engine your vehicle takes, which is why it is asked for and the engine code is not.
Do I need my VIN?
No, but it helps. The VIN identifies exactly what your vehicle was built as and removes any remaining ambiguity about the variant. If you have it to hand it is worth including; if not, year, model and trim gets there on almost every vehicle.
What happens after I submit?
Your request goes to us, we identify the engine your vehicle takes, and we check availability with suppliers for that specific engine. You get back what is genuinely obtainable and what it costs, including when the honest answer is that it is difficult to source.
Is this a binding order?
No. It is an availability and compatibility request. Nothing is ordered, nothing is charged, and you are not committed to anything by sending it.
What if I do not know my trim?
Send what you have and say so. The registration document usually carries it, and the VIN settles it. If neither is available we can usually narrow it from other details about the car.
