Getting It Right the First Time: How Gearhead Ensures Proper Fitment Verification

Precision You Can Count On 

When you order a replacement engine, there’s no room for guesswork. An incorrect fit can delay repairs, increase costs, and cause unnecessary frustration. That’s why Gearhead Engines goes the extra mile to make sure every engine we ship is the right one for your vehicle—before it ever leaves our facility. 

Our in-house fitment verification process checks every order using your VIN, year, make, and model. This attention to detail helps ensure your engine matches perfectly the first time, saving you time and headaches down the road. 

The Problem with Brokered Fitment 

Many engine brokers rely on their suppliers for fitment verification. That means the broker takes your order, then passes your information to a third-party builder—often without confirming key vehicle details. The supplier may only perform limited pre-shipment checks, or none at all, before sending the unit out. 

This kind of system increases the risk of error. Engines can arrive that don’t match the vehicle’s specifications, leading to delays, added labor, and costly returns. For a customer, that can mean weeks of lost time and unnecessary expense. 

The Gearhead Advantage: Verified Before It Ships 

At Gearhead Engines, we don’t leave fitment up to chance—or to someone else. Our team performs detailed VIN-based verification on every order, cross-checking it with manufacturer data and internal records to ensure accuracy. 

Our fitment process includes: 

  • Full VIN confirmation to verify compatibility before your engine is released. 
  • Year, make, and model checks done manually by experienced staff. 
  • Direct communication with the customer or installer if any detail needs clarification. 
  • Final in-house signoff before shipping to guarantee a perfect match. 

This thorough, hands-on approach prevents errors that brokers often overlook and ensures your installation goes smoothly. 

Why Fitment Accuracy Matters 

An engine replacement is a major job—and the last thing anyone wants is to discover the part doesn’t fit once it’s on the lift. Proper fitment protects both your time and your investment. It also ensures the engine performs exactly as intended once installed. 

When you buy from Gearhead, you’re not just getting a remanufactured engine—you’re getting the confidence that it’s been verified, inspected, and approved before it ever leaves our doors.
