See How a Cat® Engine Rebuild is More Cost-Effective Than Buying New

See How a Cat® Engine Rebuild is More Cost-Effective Than Buying New

By: Cleveland Brothers
December 2, 2023

Cat gas compression engines – particularly the 3500 and 3600 series – are renowned for their reliability and robust performance, but over time, even the best built engines and components suffer wear and tear. This wear can reduce power output, hamper efficiency and lead to breakdowns in the field that cost you time and money.  

Traditionally, you’ve faced two options: replace your engine while your current unit is still working, or keep up with climbing maintenance costs and hope for the best. But Cleveland Brothers’ state-of-the-art Engine Rebuild Center (ERC) delivers a better choice: gas compression engine rebuilds that bring you the same performance, reliability and technology as a brand-new unit – for less. 

We’ve been the region’s trusted oil and gas equipment expert for over 75 years. See why we’re the right partner for your business by weighing the pros and cons of a rebuild against the cost of a new engine. 

 

Making the Right Call

When the age of your equipment is causing declining performance, increased maintenance costs, and the desire for the latest technology, upgrading your equipment goes beyond convenience, it protects your business. But before you invest in new equipment, it’s important to make sure you’re not missing out on the benefits of an engine rebuild. 

 

The True Costs of Buying New

Purchasing a brand-new Cat gas compression engine is almost always more expensive than opting for a rebuild. New engines come with a hefty price tag, and often incur additional costs from installation and integration to downtime during the transition. 

 

The Value of a Professional Rebuild

A professional rebuild, like those conducted at Cleveland Brothers’ Engine Rebuild Center, involves disassembling the engine down to the bare block. Components are meticulously inspected, refurbished, or replaced as needed, adhering to strict guidelines. This process essentially restores the engine to a “like-new” condition. 

 

Extending Engine Life

When you invest in Cat, you invest in quality made to last. Cleveland Brothers Engine Rebuild Center helps you get the most from that investment. During every rebuild, we address wear and tear, replace worn components, and precision machine your unit back to like-new specs, so your engine can continue to provide reliable service for years to come. 

 

Performance Restoration

You invested in machines with the power to get the job done, so what do you do when they can no longer meet original performance benchmarks? A well-executed rebuild brings your unit’s performance back to original specifications. So you can get back to the same power, efficiency, and reliability you had when the engine was new, and get back to work. 

 

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Rebuilding replaces worn components and addresses issues that may have caused frequent breakdowns. As a result, you’ll see a significant reduction in maintenance costs after a rebuild. 

 

Minimized Downtime

Cleveland Brothers Engine Rebuild Center can almost always complete a full engine overhaul in a fraction of the time it takes to replace an engine entirely. This means less downtime and less disruptions for your operations. 

 

Eco-Friendly Solution

Opting for a rebuild is environmentally responsible. It reduces waste by refurbishing and reusing engine components rather than discarding them. 

 

Enhanced Cost Control
