When your transmission goes out, you’re looking at a couple of options. Buying a rebuilt transmission in Chicago is one of them and has some distinct advantages over purchasing a used or new one. Read on to find out a few of these benefits.
Advantages Over New Transmissions
There is nothing wrong with purchasing a brand-new transmission for your car. However, it’ll cost you a lot more than getting a rebuilt one. Additionally, depending on its year of manufacture, a new transmission may lack modern technological features, which might have been unavailable during the time it was made. On the other hand, mechanics can incorporate the latest technology into rebuilt transmissions during their rebuild.
Advantages Over Used Transmissions
A used transmission comes with its own baggage. Nothing is refurbished or rebuilt. It is merely a transmission that comes from another vehicle. Its condition depends heavily upon its previous owner’s driving and maintenance habits. If they ran the transmission into the ground without performing any maintenance, it might be worthless even if it has relatively low miles. If the transmission came from a car that was in a wreck (which they often do), then it could prove to be unreliable and faulty.
When mechanics rebuild a transmission, they take it apart first, piece by piece. This process allows them to inspect and correct the defects of this vital car part. If the mechanic is a Master Technician certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence like the professionals at S-O-S Transmissions, then you can be sure they’ll take care of any problems they find.
The Eco-Advantage
When you buy a rebuilt transmission in Chicago, you help the environment. New transmissions require a large carbon footprint. If more rebuilt transmissions were used, the entire footprint of the auto industry would diminish significantly.
