When considering transmission replacements, various options await, each with its own set of pros and cons spanning price, quality, warranty coverage, reliability, and the overall purchasing experience. Opting for junkyard transmissions presents the cheapest route, yet usually means lower-quality products lacking inspection and warranties. Based on our experience, the risks and purchasing hassle associated with junkyard transmissions outweigh the cost savings. A significant upgrade from junk yards involves purchasing quality-inspected used transmissions with warranty coverage. Selecting a reputable supplier like Pete's Auto Parts, boasting over 68 years of expertise, ensures substantial savings without compromising reliability. Additionally, our extended warranty offers added protection that is very comparable to when you are purchasing new. You can even buy a labor warranty at Pete's that will cover your actual labor, not $50 at book hours like a lot of remanufacturers pay out. On the pricier end, acquiring a remanufactured or brand-new transmission from a dealership stands as the costliest option. If you are lucky enough to avoid backorders or unavailability based on your vehicle's specifications, and you like getting a part made by the manufacturer, that's a choice many people make. But our customers opt for the cost-effective choice of purchasing used transmissions from Pete's Auto Parts, striking a balance between quality, affordability, and reliability.
