The demand nobody stocked ten years ago

Korean cars were a minority of the parc in most of our markets until the 2010s. They are not any more, and the workshops that service them have been buying replacement engines from whoever could find them.

That is the gap. Japanese-platform engines are contested by every supplier in the trade; Hyundai and Kia stock is thinner on the ground and the buyer is less price-sensitive because the alternative is waiting.

Grading Korean petrol blocks

We inspect for the specific wear patterns these families are known for rather than applying a generic checklist, and we are conservative about what earns Grade A. An engine we are unsure about is graded B or C and priced there — that costs us margin on the unit and saves the relationship.

Frequently asked

Which Hyundai and Kia codes do you carry most often?

Theta II 2.0 and 2.4, the Nu 1.8 and 2.0, and the G4 series in the smaller displacements. Availability moves week to week — ask for the current list.

Can you source a specific code that is not in stock?

Often yes, from our audited dismantler network in Guangzhou and Ningbo. Give us the code and the quantity.

Do these carry the same warranty as the Toyota families?

Yes. Grade A is 30 to 60 days replacement-or-credit regardless of brand.
