Blown Motor? We Buy Vehicles With Bad Engines on Long Island

A blown engine is one of the most discouraging things that can happen to a car owner. Repair quotes can run $3,000 to $8,000 or more — often more than the car is worth. Before you spend a dollar on a rebuild, call us.

Long Island Cash for Cars buys vehicles with blown, seized, and failed engines across Nassau and Suffolk County. We pay cash on the spot, and we tow it away for free.

What Counts as a Blown Motor?

We buy vehicles with all types of engine failure, including:

• Seized engines — the engine locked up and won't turn over
• Spun rod bearings — knocking sound, loss of oil pressure, engine failure
• Blown head gasket — overheating, white smoke, coolant mixing with oil
• Cracked engine block — coolant leaks, overheating, catastrophic failure
• Timing chain or belt failure — bent valves, engine won't start
• Thrown rod — hole in the engine block, complete engine failure
• Burned valves or pistons — loss of compression, smoke, misfires
• Hydrolocked engine — water ingestion causing internal damage

If the engine is gone, we still want the car.

Why Sell Instead of Repair?

Engine rebuilds and replacements are expensive. On older vehicles or high-mileage cars, the repair cost often exceeds the vehicle's value. Even on newer vehicles, you may be looking at months without transportation while waiting for parts and labor.

Selling to us means:

• Cash in your pocket today — not a repair bill
• No waiting — same-day pickup in most cases
• No risk — you know exactly what you're getting

The average engine replacement on Long Island runs $4,000–$7,500 in parts and labor. For most vehicles over 100,000 miles, that math simply doesn't work. We give you a fair cash offer instead.

Any Year, Any Make, Any Model

We buy blown motor vehicles of every type. Sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, luxury cars — it doesn't matter. There is no year cutoff. A 2005 Honda Civic with a seized engine is just as welcome as a 2019 Ford F-150 with a thrown rod. We serve all of Nassau County and Suffolk County, including Hempstead, Huntington, Babylon, Islip, Oyster Bay, and every town in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you buy my car if the engine is completely seized?
Yes. A fully seized engine is one of the most common situations we deal with. We'll make you a cash offer regardless.

Does a blown head gasket count as a blown motor?
Yes. A blown head gasket is a serious engine failure and we buy vehicles with this issue every week.

Do you buy cars with blown engines that also have other problems?
Absolutely. Multiple issues don't disqualify a vehicle — we factor everything into the offer.
