Few things make drivers cringe more than hearing the words: “You need a new transmission.” After all, serious transmission issues can make your vehicle impossible to drive, and repairs are costly.
Of course, repair costs pale in comparison to needing to fully replace your transmission. Fortunately, you can always get a transmission replacement or transmission parts from an auto salvage yard, saving you a great deal of money in the process.
Why Transmission Replacements Cost So Much
Transmissions are among the most complex components in your vehicle. They are made up of myriad parts, all working together to shift gears smoothly and keep your vehicle moving efficiently. Replacing or rebuilding a transmission requires not only specialized knowledge but also a significant amount of labor.
Moreover, brand-new transmissions come with a hefty price tag. In many cases, the cost of the part itself can rival the value of some older vehicles. Add labor charges, and you’re easily looking at thousands of dollars. It’s no surprise that transmission replacements are one of the most dreaded expenses for drivers.
How Salvage Yard Transmissions Save You Money
You don’t have to empty your bank account to replace your vehicle’s transmission. All American Auto Salvage dismantles over 1,000 late-model cars and trucks every year. That means we regularly have quality used transmissions in stock at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Every transmission we sell goes through our quality control program, ensuring it’s thoroughly inspected before it leaves our yard. Conveniently, if we don’t have the part you need on-site, we track it down for you and get it to you as soon as possible.
If you’re facing a costly transmission replacement, don’t let the price of a brand-new unit stop you from driving the vehicle you love. Contact us and we’ll help you find a reliable, yet budget friendly transmission replacement.
