About Us


Engine and Transmission world has been around as a company since 1987. And the idea behind it at the time was rather simple - to give people an alternative to the idea that you have to buy a new car when the engine is no good anymore.

We’re intimately familiar with the popular idea that we should buy a new car when either the engine or the transmission is blown. Obviously, whether this makes sense or not varies from one situation to the next. In some cases, the car itself really ought to go. In others, though - more than many people realize - it makes more sense to replace that part if you can get it for cheap.

Doing so enables you to extend the life of your car. And that’s something that makes sense whether the times are bad, as they are now, or if they’re good.

If they’re bad, then you obviously don’t have the money to spend on a financing plan that’s going to take money from you in the long term. That money is yours, and it could be better spent elsewhere.

If they’re good, then you owe it to yourself to be as good a steward of the funds that you do have as you can be. That means you don’t spend money if you don’t need to. A used engine or transmission makes a ton of sense within this context.

And it’s something that the whole world has been wise to. In the 23 years that we’ve been in business, we’ve shipped over 400,000 separate parts not just in the United States but all over the world. That’s not bad for a used parts company out of Milwaukee, is it?
That is essentially what we do. We ship out used engines and transmissions for our consumers, after they’ve named a price at auction that they think is fair. The overall cost - of the part and of the labor to install it - is generally quite manageable, and isn’t even as expensive as some of the smaller electronic parts used in cars these days.
