When your MINI Cooper starts losing its signature punch, you don’t need a new car—you need a professionally remanufactured MINI engine. Engineered to OEM standards and tested for precision, our remanufactured engines restore that distinctive go-kart feel MINI is famous for—without the new engine price tag.
Unlike used or junkyard motors, remanufactured MINI engines are fully rebuilt, using new or reconditioned OEM-grade components, advanced machining, and dyno testing. Every unit is backed by a comprehensive warranty to ensure years of reliable performance.
Whether you drive a MINI Cooper, Countryman, Clubman, or Paceman, our remanufactured engines deliver the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and personality.
A remanufactured engine is more than a repair—it’s a complete re-engineering. Each MINI engine is stripped to the bare block, precision-machined, and reassembled to meet factory specifications.
Our remanufacturing process includes:
Once completed, the result is a like-new engine with OEM-grade fitment and dependability—ready to install and enjoy.
Feature | Remanufactured Engine | Used Engine | Rebuilt Engine |
|---|---|---|---|
Testing | Dyno & compression tested | Untested | Partial testing |
Warranty | 1–5 years | None | 30–90 days |
New Parts | Most major components replaced | None | Only failed parts |
Performance | Like-new | Unverified | Variable |
Fitment | VIN-matched | Unknown | Partial match |
A remanufactured MINI engine gives you factory-grade reliability, often at 40–60% less cost than buying new—making it ideal for owners who want premium quality and smart value.
