Why Choose Fraser · America’s Trusted Powertrain Leader Since 1961

Why Choose Fraser Engines Over Online Engine Brokers?

Fraser Engines is a manufacturer of remanufactured engines and transmissions — not an online broker that sources whatever it can find from a network of suppliers. Family-owned, Michigan-built and serving the public and commercial repair shops nationwide for more than 60 years, Fraser controls quality from the bare block to the crate.

Manufacturer, not middleman

The difference between Fraser and an online engine broker

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 cores awaiting remanufacturing at Fraser EnginesEngine Cores

Straight talk

Why does Fraser charge a core deposit when online brokers don’t?

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.

  • Core deposits fund the remanufacturing process and keep a steady supply of rebuildable blocks and heads
  • No upfront core charge on most Fraser engines — the deposit is only assessed if the core isn’t returned
  • Free core pickup from any commercial address in the continental U.S.; Fraser coordinates the return
  • Financial stability and sustainability — a core policy is what lets Fraser stand behind a 5-year warranty

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Fraser — FAQs

Is Fraser Engines a broker or a manufacturer?

A manufacturer. Fraser remanufactures engines and engine components in its own Michigan facility and works with vetted manufacturing partners, giving it complete quality control. Online brokers don’t build anything — they resell whatever a third-party supplier ships.

How long has Fraser Engines been in business?

Fraser has been family-owned and operated since 1961 — more than 60 years of American-made engine and transmission remanufacturing.

Why does Fraser charge a core deposit?

Because your old engine is the raw material for the next remanufactured one. Waiving cores as a marketing gimmick has bankrupted competitors; a core policy keeps Fraser financially stable and able to honor a 5-year warranty. Most Fraser engines have no upfront core charge — the deposit applies only if the core isn’t returned — and core pickup is free from commercial addresses.

What warranty does Fraser offer?

3-Year / Unlimited-Mile parts & labor on standard remanufactured engines; 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile plus 1 year of free No-Fault on Fraser Advantage™ builds; No-Fault upgrades from 1 to 5 years with Premium Pay and Elite Maxx tiers. Claims are handled directly by Fraser.

How do I know the engine will fit my vehicle?

Fraser verifies every order against the full 17-digit VIN — engine code, emissions package, transmission pairing and production changes — before it ships. You can also check your VIN with the free VIN decoder.

Is Fraser Engines accredited?

Yes. Fraser is a PERA (Production Engine Remanufacturers Association) member, a BBB A+ accredited business and Dun & Bradstreet verified, with a 4.8-star rating across more than 9,000 Google reviews.

Does Fraser ship nationwide?

Yes. Shipping and core pickup are free to any commercial address in the continental United States, with thousands of engines in stock for fast dispatch. Residential and liftgate delivery are available for an additional charge.
