Top Used Engines in San Jose

Here are three of the most popular used engines in San Jose …

Honda Civic

At the time of its debut in 1973, the Honda Civic quickly became known for its relatively small engine and large interior. In the 1980s the Civic’s body became sleeker, and the 1990s saw versions with an even more aerodynamic design. Many drivers still consider this an economic and reliable vehicle, even second-hand, and so we’re not surprised there’s still demand for used Honda Civic engines in San Jose.

Honda Accord

Right from the start of production in 1976, the Honda Accord found immediate success. Its style, power and space were complemented by reliability and affordability, and it was fun to drive. Over the generations the Honda Accord maximized these characteristics, and it remains a beloved car in California. It makes perfect sense that local customers want used Honda Accord engines in San Jose.

Toyota Camry

First introduced in 1985, the Toyota Camry has always been reliable and great for family driving. Though the car has traditionally been known more for a comfortable ride than sporty agility, newer generations handle quite well thanks to a lower center of gravity, a more rigid body and less weight. For those who love a reliable ride in the family car, local customers are still looking for used Toyota Camry engines in San Jose.

Scenic Drives in San Jose 

Once your used engine is installed, enjoy the new life of your car by taking it for a scenic drive in and around San Jose. Here are some of the most enjoyable routes in the area:

Sierra Road to the Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve (7 miles)

Once you get outside of the city, Sierra Road twists and turns its way into green foothills. The Sierra Vista Open Space preserve offers great views of the city during the day of the night. There is also a trail to Alum Rock Park. Locals consider Sierra Vista a great place to hike.

State Route 130 to Mount Hamilton (25 miles)

This winding and sometimes narrow drive goes right through foothills and Joseph D. Grant County Park. Once at Mount Hamilton, you can take in the views at the Lick Observatory, which overlooks the Santa Clara Valley. Other sites from the summit include the Santa Cruz Mountains and Yosemite National Park.

Highway 280 to San Francisco (50 miles)

This might be an interstate highway, but as you pass by the Santa Cruz Mountains and its vistas you’ll enjoy beautiful California views. Take in wide open spaces and glimpses of the bay and Crystal Springs Reservoir as you work your way to the great city of San Francisco.
