Understand the differences to make the best choice for your vehicle and budget.
When vehicle owners experience an engine or transmission failure, they are faced with the choice of purchasing a remanufactured part or a used part. Both offer exciting alternatives to purchasing new, providing 40% - 60% reduction in cost.
We offer both options to meet your needs and will make sure you are well informed before you settle for any one option. The ultimate decision depends on your budget and how long you plan to keep the vehicle.
| Feature | Remanufactured | Used |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Mid-range (40-60% less than new) | Lowest cost option |
| Quality | Like-new / OEM spec | Good, visual inspection only |
| Warranty | Up to 5 years unlimited | 3 Years / Unlimited |
| Reliability | Excellent - factory defects fixed | Variable - unknown history |
| Performance | Like-new performance | Depends on prior use |
| Best For | Long-term ownership | Budget repairs, older vehicles |
Remanufactured parts are remanufactured to the original blueprints and exact specifications, tested to original equipment standards. They are NOT the same as rebuilt parts.
The engine blocks and cylinder heads are fully x-rayed, and measurements are done on pistons by means of micrometers to capture any issue not visible to the naked eye. After remanufacturing, the engine is subjected to another test to confirm the highest quality.
Used parts are pulled from donor vehicles, visually inspected, and sold as genuine replacement products. They offer a budget-friendly option for quick repairs.
Rebuilt transmissions only have the worn or damaged parts replaced before getting shipped out. Remanufactured transmissions are fully restored with all new or re-machined internal parts, and factory defects are resolved to eliminate failure-prone components.
We strongly recommend remanufactured over rebuilt for the best long-term value and reliability.
