In a Honda Accord, the engine stands out as a costly component of the vehicle. Replacing the engine is not only expensive, but it also involves high labor costs due to the complex installation process. Various engine alternatives are available, typically priced between $700 and $2200 for a replacement. This price range varies significantly, as used engines with more miles are cheaper than brand new ones. Labor costs for replacing the engine can range from $800 to $1500, depending on local labor rates.

The cost of a Honda Accord engine varies between $550 and $1900, depending on the model year and specific features.
I've been working as a mechanic for over 20 years, both at shops and for myself. When it comes to swapping an engine, dealerships typically charge a basic hourly rate. Some shops might give you an estimate for the general cost, but this could lead to additional expenses if you opt for a second-hand engine. It's advisable to replace the timing belt before installation to avoid issues down the road. Most engine suppliers require you to replace components like the timing belt to maintain any warranty provided with a good used engine. Many quality used engines from Japan are available due to their rigorous inspection standards - a lot of these engines are in excellent condition with low mileage. Japanese cars are typically replaced after 7 to 10 years, whereas American cars might have significantly more mileage by that age. Import engines are readily available online and in most major cities, but be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. I can recommend a company that supplies these types of engines, with prices varying based on the engine package. A reputable shop will install the necessary components to ensure the longevity of your investment, typically costing between $2900 and $3400 for labor, a used import engine, and required new parts, with a written warranty on both the engine and labor included in the final price.

I own a 2008 Honda Accord and the mechanic quoted me $2600 for the engine and $3200 for the labor. He also recommended replacing the radiator and doing a radiator and transmission flush even though they are not necessary at this time. Including the cost of the engine, radiator, and flush, the total would be $8743. It will take about 20 hours to replace the engine.
