Race car engine warranty

Jack Matyas · 02-20-2013, 08:46 PM

Here's one that almost too good to be true - yesterday I got a flyer from MB Race Engines located in Farmingdale ,NJ that offers a 100% warranty for one year .Their flyer further states that they will replace or repair their engine with no cost to the buyer .Yikes , now there's a novel approach to getting new business .

Next you'll ask if their any good at what they do - you decide - the head engine builder many of us East coasters will remember him - none other than Tom Martino - former Sportsman and Pro Stock builder and driver .

This could start a whole new way of thinking - check out their web site @ WWW.MBRaceEngines.com .

And for those of you who are thinking I'm involved in any way - nope , nothing , nada , zip , zero .It just caught my eye ...........

That that isn't new.
Tex and I gave an unconditional warranty on every motor we built.
Chrysler hjad the 7 year 70,000 mile deal
We had the 7 seconds or 70,000 miles whichever came first.
Never had a comeback LOL.

Wow 100% warranty and free shipping. What the hey ?? Pretty gutsy.

My dad always joked about builders with the tail light warranty. Good until they could no longer see your tail lights.

Steve Schmidt has always done that as well.

At one time there was a company that sent around a pretty sales Lady that pushed it (with her good assets) If I remember right it was just an insurance policy the shop bought on every engine. I kept telling her, "Maybe" to get her to come back so my eyes would feel good.
