Are Used Parts Trustworthy?

There is a question that has arisen, and it’s quite understandable: are used parts trustworthy? That is, can they be used successfully as part of a car? Will they hold up as well as a newer counterpart?

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is yes, but that said it’s not a guarantee. Not all parts are equal, and depending on where you get the part from there’s a chance that it hasn’t been tested, and that it hasn’t been given even a basic inspection to ensure its workability.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that newer parts are just automatically better. Nothing could be further from the truth - new parts haven’t gone through any of their devaluation at all, and that means that you have to deal with the expense of the new engine, and then further expense when it finally endures some problems.

Used parts are trustworthy, and you can use them.

Why to Buy Used Parts

You may have heard some financial advice at one point in your life, and it would have gone something like this: buy used cars. Used vehicles are done with their devaluation, and they’re often every bit as good and as useful as the new thing. Don’t buy into the hype that you need some kind of a brand new vehicle to make you happy.

That’s good advice. It’s true. Cars do most of their devaluing between the first and second years of ownership. This is when all the parts - factory tested, but not real life tested - begin to acquire the wear and tear that’s going to necessitate their eventual replacement. It’s been said that driving a new car is like driving with the windows down and throwing out hundred dollar bills every day.

At Engine and Transmission World, we agree with that assessment. We want to point something else out to you as well. Used cars are made out of used parts. Their engines are used, their transmissions are used, everything is used.

Those used parts are every bit as good as their newer counterparts.

So why does it make sense to blow money on a new part when you can get a used part with the same utility for less money? It doesn’t make sense, does it?

Doing sensible things with your money should be reason enough to buy used parts.

Holidays Are Here

It’s that time of the year again. That time when the car companies are going to start advertising their cars with red ribbons and bows and all kinds of neat little fixings. Of course, they don’t like the fine print they have to put on the ads as well, but. It’s not a perfect world.

As we have for the past 24 years, we will continue to provide you with an alternative. Who says a used engine isn’t a great gift for the holidays?

Services Offered by Engine and Transmission World

Engine and Transmission World is different from many standard parts of the automotive industry. It well and truly is. It’s different because it gives people a way to keep getting use out of their vehicles even after the textbook wisdom says to get rid of it and let it pass on.

Engine and Transmission World is not in the business of rebuilding those parts. Rather, it is in the business of offering those parts used. This is often after the devaluation has been done, thus rendering the used parts perfectly serviceable, and a great deal cheaper in the meantime.

This is true for both engines and transmissions. The engine, by and large, is a fairly robust part that doesn’t require much in the way of maintenance. Provided it is given the proper care, it will outlast the car and not the other way around. But if it needs to be replaced, this is a fine place to do it.

The same for the transmission. Because the transmission has to handle the power of the engine and its regulation, it’s arguably a more robust part since it has to take care of so much more. It is an important part, and rebuilding one or having one built for you can be expensive, exceptionally so. As opposed to a used replacement, which is in general not so expensive at all.

Engine and Transmission World delivers the parts to you, so you can have them installed at your convenience.

The Advantage of Buying Parts at Engine and Transmission World

Engine and Transmission World is a very different place compared to most others when it comes to buying parts.

We don’t mean to slam the competition when we say that they’re junkyards. But the fact remains that more often than not, it’s recommended that you go to a junkyard to get the replacement parts that you need for your car.

They’ll charge you similar prices for it, of course, but that doesn’t change the fact that the product isn’t necessarily the highest possible quality.

With Engine and Transmission World, it’s the exact opposite. We let you negotiate the price and we give you an OEM certified part that is guaranteed to work.

These are huge advantages that work in our favor and yours, and you get to have the part that you’re looking for with a guarantee for it to work.

Why to Buy Parts From Engine and Transmission World

Engine and Transmission World started small. It was first opened in 1987, in Milwaukee, and the idea was to give people a better option between going for a new car and going to some junkyard where you’d have to haggle with the keeper to get a part at a decent price that may or may not work.

We’ve proven to be a better option. We’ve proven to be such a good option that we’ve expanded our business. In the years between 1987 and 2010, we’ve sold 400,000 engines and transmissions. Not only have we sold them nationally, but we’ve even managed some international sales as well.

How did we make this happen?

We made it happen because of our dedication to the quality of the parts. We want you to have the best parts available to fix your vehicle. And we want you to have them in a timely fashion, for a reasonable price.

It just so happens that we do this better than the competition.
