## What a firm will ask you

- Make, model and engine
- What has happened? (Knocking or rattling from the bottom end / Overheated, head gasket or coolant in the oil / Burning oil, smoking, low compression / Timing chain or belt failure / Seized, will not turn over / Turbo failure or oil starvation / Not diagnosed yet)
- Has anyone looked at it properly? (No, nobody has looked yet / A garage has diagnosed it but not opened the engine / The engine has been stripped and inspected / I have a quote already and want to compare)
- What are you considering? (Rebuilding the original engine / A reconditioned exchange engine / A used engine from a breaker / Open to whichever makes most sense)
- When do you need this? (As soon as possible / Within a month / In 1 to 3 months / Later than 3 months / Just getting prices for now)

## What happens after you send it

1. Your enquiry is checked for spam and its contact details are checked so a firm can reach you.
2. Worklanded chooses up to three engine rebuilders that cover the area. A firm sees the job and the area before it decides to take it.
3. As your details go to each firm, we email you its name, with a link that stops any more firms receiving them.
4. The firms contact you directly. You agree the price and the work with them; Worklanded takes no part of that.
