Manufacturer, not middleman
Online engine brokers don’t build anything. They take your order, then shop it out to whichever supplier has a unit — so quality, build content, warranty handling and lead time change from order to order. Fraser Engines operates as a manufacturer of engines and engine components. That manufacturing capability gives us complete quality control over every engine’s performance and reliability standards, and it means we typically acquire harder-to-find units faster than competitors who are waiting on someone else’s inventory.

Engine CoresStraight talk
What is “waiving a core”? Your old engine — the core — is the raw material for the next remanufactured engine. Waiving core deposits as a marketing gimmick has caused serious financial trouble across our industry; Fraser has watched four businesses succumb to this practice. When customers don’t return cores, the remanufacturer’s acquisition costs climb, production is disrupted and the company can no longer honor warranties — or stay open.
Serving the public and commercial auto shops nationwide
Whether you’re replacing the engine in your own truck or running a repair facility that installs dozens a month, Fraser has a program for you.
Thousands in StockComprehensive warranty options
Warranty claims are handled directly by Fraser engine specialists — not a third party — and labor is reimbursed using Mitchell or ALLDATA book time.
