Frequently Asked Questions About Houston Engines
What warranty do you offer on engines, transmissions, and other parts?
Houston Engines offers warranties from 6 to 36 months, including used powertrain warranties of up to 36 months or 36,000 miles. Coverage depends on the part and the option you choose. Ask our team when you request a quote, and we will walk you through the warranty options available for your engine, transmission, transfer case, or rear axle.
What is the difference between a used and a remanufactured engine or transmission?
A used unit is an original equipment part removed from a donor vehicle and inspected before sale, making it the most affordable option. A remanufactured unit is disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt with new or reconditioned wear components to meet factory specifications, which makes it a strong choice when you want maximum service life. We can quote both so you can compare.
How do I make sure a part is compatible with my vehicle?
The most reliable way is to share your 17-character VIN, along with your year, make, model, and engine size. Engines and transmissions often change mid-year or between trim levels, so the VIN removes the guesswork. Our parts specialists check every request against your vehicle details before you order, so you receive the correct part the first time.
Which vehicle makes and models do you carry parts for?
We carry parts for most domestic and import vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia. For diesel trucks, we offer Cummins, Duramax, and Powerstroke engines, and for commercial trucks and equipment, we offer remanufactured Caterpillar, Cummins ISX, and Detroit Diesel engines. If you do not see your part listed, contact us, since our parts network reaches well beyond our current inventory.
How quickly will I receive my part after placing an order?
We offer fast local delivery throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, and most orders arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery times can vary based on your location and the part you order, but our team works to get your part to you as quickly as possible so your repair stays on schedule.
What happens if my part does not work properly?
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. In the rare event that a part you purchase does not work properly, contact us right away. We will work with you to resolve the issue, whether that means troubleshooting, supplying a replacement part, or offering a refund or exchange under the terms of your warranty, so your vehicle gets back on the road.

Houston Engines is a family-owned and operated business that has served the Houston community since 1989. With more than 35 years in the industry, our team has the experience to help with everything from daily drivers to heavy-duty diesel trucks.

Search, Compare, Filter, and See Part Specifications to Confidently Request a Quote
Every inventory page works the same way. Filter by year, make, model, and engine, or type into the search bar, and results update instantly. Parts that share the same engine or transmission are grouped on one card, with a year dropdown that takes you straight to your model year, so you never have to guess which page covers your vehicle. Tap See All to view every group in a category. Prefer to browse one type? Jump to a sub-category like remanufactured engines in stock today, rear axles, or transfer cases.
On every part page, a detailed specs card shows the part number, condition, engine size, horsepower, and fitment at a glance, and breadcrumb links let you step back to the category and keep browsing. Further down, Related Parts shows close matches and used or reman alternatives, while Recent Inventory highlights parts we just added. Comparing your options takes seconds, not phone calls.
When you are ready, our new quote form keeps every question on one simple screen. Choose your year, and the make, model, and trim lists fill in for that exact vehicle. Add your VIN if you have it for an exact match, pick your part, and choose used, reman, or both. A live availability bar shows when our team will respond based on our business hours, so you know when to expect your quote, even on nights and weekends. The whole request takes about 30 seconds.
