I purchased a replacement engine from Thrifty Engines / UsedEngines.us and experienced one of the most frustrating and unprofessional transactions of my career.After paying over $3,000 for what was supposed to be a tested, warrantied engine, my mechanic (a licensed shop owner) found the unit to be defective on arrival — rusted internals and a locked crankshaft. I immediately provided photos, documentation, and multiple written updates, yet communication from Thrifty Engines was slow, inconsistent, and evasive.Weeks were lost due to mislabeling on their shipping paperwork, which delayed installation and cost me additional shop labor and rental fees. Despite their internal errors, they repeatedly created arbitrary “deadlines” and procedural demands that were not stated anywhere in the original warranty, apparently to avoid responsibility for their own defective product.My mechanic remained available to verify the engine’s condition, and I stayed in communication throughout. The company’s final “denial” letter was inaccurate and dismissive, ignoring the facts already provided.In short: I paid thousands for a non-functional engine and received only obstruction and empty promises in return.Buyers should document everything, avoid paying via direct wire or cash app, and use a local, verifiable supplier instead. I am now pursuing formal complaints and small-claims action in multiple states (CA, TX, AL).
