BETHESDA, MD -- The Engine Repower Council (ERC) has announced the launch of its new website at http://www.enginerepower.org, designed to be an informative resource to educate motorists about the many benefits of repowering their damaged engines with a remanufactured/rebuilt engine.

Visitors to the site will learn the facts about repowering their car or truck with a remanufactured/rebuilt engine. It explains in detail how repowering an engine can save money and provide environmental benefits by saving energy and new material resources. In addition, the ERC’s recently released brochure “Serious Engine Trouble?” can be downloaded and printed directly from the website.

“Smart shoppers, like smart motorists, make better decisions when they know all the options,” said ERC Chairman Tom Shrader. “When a car or truck suffers major engine damage, the first reaction of many consumers is to buy a new or used vehicle. In some cases this might make sense, but often it's simply not necessary. This site provides an overview of all the options that are available to consumers and encourages them to explore the many benefits of repowering.”
