FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask before they crate an engine.
Are your engines and gearboxes new or used?
We supply imported engines and gearboxes. Each product listing states its condition, engine code, and compatible vehicle makes. Every unit is inspected and function-tested before it's offered for sale.
How do I confirm fitment before I order?
Check the compatible vehicles field and engine code on the product page. If you're unsure whether a unit fits your vehicle, contact us with your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine code, and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
Is payment processed on this site?
No. Checkout collects your shipping and billing details only. After your order is confirmed, our team contacts you by email or phone to arrange payment. Nothing on Engines for World stores card data.
How does delivery work?
We deliver nationwide across South Africa, with an average delivery window of 3–7 business days from order confirmation. You can also collect your order in person from our premises in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. We do not currently ship internationally.
Can I return an engine or gearbox?
Yes. You have 14 days from the date of delivery to request a return, provided the unit is uninstalled and unmodified. See our Return Policy for full details on eligibility, who pays return shipping, and refund timing.
Do you ship internationally?
Not at this time. We currently deliver and ship within South Africa only.
How do I create an account and keep a cart?
