The Long-Term Benefits of a Transmission Rebuild
One of the specialty services we offer at Escalon Transmission is a full custom transmission rebuild. Rather than simply replacing your entire transmission, we may recommend rebuilding your existing transmission. This may ultimately save you some money compared to a transmission replacement. In addition, there are several other long-term benefits that this service can provide:
More Comprehensive Than Some Repairs
Let’s say your torque converter fails and causes transmission trouble. The simplest fix may be to replace the torque converter with a new unit. However, what happens more often than not is one internal component failure within the transmission leads to other damage. One thing isn’t working right, so other things have to work harder. You may get a new torque converter, but another problem could be developing and put you back in the repair shop before you know it.
A full transmission rebuild ensures every single part is removed and carefully inspected. Healthy components are cleaned and reinstalled. Damaged/worn parts are replaced. The transmission is completely rebuilt to ensure it runs like new again and the repair is designed to last much longer than some transmission repairs that may only address one specific issue.
Your Original Transmission
There are definite benefits to keeping the same transmission in your vehicle. It already fits and you know for certain it’s compatible with every aspect of your car or truck. Replacing the transmission with a used, refurbished or new unit (even if it’s OEM) can bring risks that it doesn’t work quite as well as your original transmission. Rebuilding your existing transmission may ensure the optimal compatibility with the engine and drivetrain system.
Better Warranty
At Escalon Transmission, we offer a comprehensive 3 Year, 100,000 Mile Warranty on all transmissions rebuilt at our shop. We stand behind our work and we know this is often the best long-term solution for our customers. Replacing one part may only come with a limited warranty. If something else in the transmission fails, you likely won’t have coverage. Used transmission replacements may not come with any warranty. Refurbished units may have some kind of warranty, but not as strong. New transmissions will usually come with an excellent warranty, but that is also going to be your most expensive option.
Long-Term Cost Savings
With our warranty program and quality of service, you can save money over time with a professional transmission rebuild. It will last longer than most isolated repairs and is generally less expensive than a transmission replacement. You get a like-new transmission that will run well for many years and miles to come, rather than continually having to go back to the shop for more repairs.
Peace of Mind
When you add up all these benefits, you get more peace of mind knowing your transmission was professionally rebuilt by transmission rebuild specialists.
