When we appraise a car, we take distinct components into consideration. For instance — two vehicles with the same years, makes, and models can be valued differently depending on factors like a seized engine or the vehicle's location. Therefore, even two identical cars can receive different market prices based on a variety of factors.
Our team of knowledgeable vehicle evaluators knows exactly how to determine the value of your car. With more than ten years of experience in the market for damaged cars, CarBrain has made a name for itself as top-rated and trusted buyers for vehicles in bad condition. We won't lowball you — we'll take into account many factors of your car to determine its fair cash value.

The Chevy Equinox, known for its practicality and family-friendly design, has been a popular choice among SUV enthusiasts. However, like any vehicle, it comes with its set of common engine problems that can be both frustrating and costly:
Replacing the engine in your Chevy Equinox can be costly, with prices varying based on factors like the model year, engine type, and new or used options. A brand-new engine typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000, inclusive of labor. Opting for a used engine can save money, ranging from $1,500 to $3,000, but carries a higher risk of future issues. Labor costs vary but generally range from $500 to $1,500, depending on complexity and mechanic rates.
When considering the repair or replacement of major components like the engine or transmission in your Chevrolet Equinox, understanding the potential costs is key. Below is a breakdown of the estimated engine and transmission replacement costs across different generations of the Chevrolet Equinox. These estimates, sourced from trusted platforms such as RepairPal and AutoZone, will help you assess whether repair or replacement is the best option for your vehicle.

If you are looking to junk your car we recommend contacting your junkyards in your area. They may be able to buy your vehicle for parts and scrap the rest using environmentally-friendly processes and procedures.
Remember to check online reviews before picking a buyer. It's a good idea to see if the scrap yard is a part of the American Recycle Association or your local state association.
