Rebuilt Transmissions: Fully Tested, Certified and Affordable.

November 20th, 2009

First off, I want to clarify the meaning of several terms often used in the process of buying rebuilt transmissions. The terms: Remanufactured, refurbished, reconditioned, etc. are used by some of the other companies as a way to confuse people into thinking one term is a better product than the other. By law, to buy transmissions called remanufactured, rebuilt, refurbished and reconditioned transmissions should all turn out to be the same product. Don’t let the jargon and terminology confuse you.

With that being said, we need to talk about why we have outperformed the competition and became the most trusted name in the transmission industry. One of the most important parts of rebuilding a transmission is to make sure all of the latest updates and improvements are built right into the transmission. By and large, anything less is really a poor value since most transmissions have some areas that can be improved.

Our inventory of rebuilt transmissions includes heavy duty transmissions for work vehicles or any car or truck that gets used harder than normal. The price difference between an updated transmission and one that is not, is a fraction of what it costs to do the complete rebuild. Some of our heavy duty transmissions come with auxiliary coolers included because we know that overheating that particular transmission is like the kiss of death.

We are so confident of our rebuilt transmissions that we offer a price match guarantee on any transmission you locate elsewhere of equal value and quality. Another confidence building feature we offer is an exclusive nationwide parts and labor warranty. Make sure you ask when you call.

Simply put, GotTransmissions.com is the leading transmission supplier in the continental US. Call one of our representatives and ask the tough questions you have. We will provide educational answers while taking as much time as you need to understand which one of our transmissions is in your best interests. Call now @1-877-268-0664

Used Ford Transmissions For sale: Price Match Guarantee.

November 19th, 2009

Not long ago one of my friends gave me a call. Actually it sorta scared me when the call came in at 10:30 pm. Late calls usually are bad news. Sure enough it was bad news, but his bad news, not mine. Apparently he felt he just had a transmission problem and his car was stuck on the side of a smaller road in the middle of a road with little civilization for many miles. My advise, especially if he was going to be looking to buy one of the used transmissions on the market to replace his bad transmission, get it towed home first.

Fortunately he has AAA auto tow insurance, so at least he did not have a 300.00 dollar tow bill. The next day I cruised over and confirmed the transmission was shot and needed to be replaced. “What do I do now”, he asked me? The first thing is to call a quality transmission supply company and find a low mileage good used transmission. Then call your favorite mechanic and see if he will exchange the two transmissions.

I explained that the most important issues were to buy your used transmission from a reputable supplier, make sure it is a low mile unit. Without being disrespectful, I explained that local “junk yards” do not have the buying power to locate and sell the best low mileage used transmissions. Junk yard transmissions usually come with a 30 day guarantee. Not much confidence in a unit with a 30 day warranty. The most impressive companies have access to a network of the best low mileage pretested used transmissions with the best warranties. In fact most of them have less than 40,000 miles on them.

The other things I told him was this:

#1. GotTransmissions.com has a guaranteed price match if you find an used transmission with equal mileage and value from another company. We won’t compete or match prices with companies who sell old high mileage used transmissions that don’t have much life left in them.

#2. You also have the option of buying an affordable labor guarantee. What this means is that if you did experience a problem with your used transmission.  We would ship another transmission out ASAP, and the labor is covered. This is a nationwide warranty too.

With this in mind, my friend did as I suggested. He called GotTransmissions.com @ 1-877-268-0664. Was very impressed with the service, especially the time his sales representative took to explain everything in terms he understood. He bought one of the lowest mileage used transmissions, which was delivered to his mechanics door ASAP. Once he received his vehicle back, he said the process was relatively painless, therefore serving a big issue, the pain involved in locating a good source for a used transmission and feeling peace of mind and confident that he made a good decision. He did buy the labor warranty too, BTW.

Quality Used Transmissions For Sale: Price Match Guarantee

November 19th, 2009
Quality Used Transmissions For Sale

Quality Used Transmissions For Sale

Our specialty is selling transmissions. No body does it better than us. The first thing our customers mention about our company is that the transmission they bought far exceeds what we said it was. For instance if you buy one of our used transmissions, you will get one of our used transmissions with low mileage, sometimes extremely low and it is a quality unit because the transmission has gone through a rigid pre testing procedure to insure your success.

The simple facts are that we won’t sell you a “junk yard” transmission with 150,000 miles on it. Period. It is not a good value even if it is free. Why? Because it is going to fail real soon, probably just out of the short term warranty it has, which, obviously will cost you another transmission. That is a bad value. Our vision is to sell you a fine used transmission that has years and years of life.

Our prices are very competitive with the few other quality used transmission supply companies. With that in mind, we offer a price matching guarantee to anybody who locates a good used transmission of equal value and mileage to the one we are selling. We can’t compete with the hi mileage super low price “junk yard” transmissions. We won’t compete with them either. If you want ‘junk”, my suggestion is to go to a local supplier and buy one of their dirty old high mileage transmissions.

If you look around using any medium such as the Internet or phone book, it is much harder to find a superior transmission supplier who has the proper connections to procure the best used transmissions available, as opposed to the average “junk yard” who does not have the power or desire to find or sell the best units.

The bottom line is we know that you might spend less money on a junky old transmission, but we also know it is not what is in your best interests. Anyway, if the “junky” transmission is clean, how would you know what shape it is in anyway? We can prove the mileage and every detail about where our transmission comes from by using a CarFax report. We feel more comfortable selling you a transmission we can be sure will not cause you any undue pain in an already painful situation.

So, if you run any one of the quality, qualified used transmissions of equal quality to ours at a better price, take a few minutes to call us back and speak with our representatives again, if what you present us with is true, we will match that price, Guaranteed. GotTransmissions.com has been outperforming the competition by being creative and staying with the times. Money is tight and we aim to make sure you become our customer for life. Call us @ 1-877-268-0664.

Tough Economy puts Stress on Transmission Supply Company’s to Lower Prices..

November 18th, 2009
Used Transmissions For Sale

Used Transmissions For Sale

Going through the process of toughing out a weak economy stresses out everyone. It stresses our customers and causes pain and aggravation in the process of coming up with some extra money for some sort of cheap, or, more appropriately, affordable used transmissions, if your engine fails.

What I’m getting at today is that the stress is then passed on to the transmission supply companies. Transmissions of any sort, manual or automatic, from used to rebuilt to remanufactured tranny’s. Many companies offer a less reliable product so they can lower prices and still make a profit. We don’t support those sort of business practices. We will continue to provide the finest transmissions to our customers even if we make a smaller profit.

Why? We want to stay in business and continue dominating the field of transmission replacement. Every business that wants to stay in business and still provide a quality product has to make certain adjustments during a recession or a depression, economically speaking.

The only was to get out of a recession is for everyone to cooperate in the process. Understanding this is not realistic based on some LARGE greedy companies with little or no morals or conscience who continue to take advantage of the customer for money that is in their best interests. We are participating in our way.

Simply put, we are only interested in continuing to sell the best transmissions in the US and other countries that need our services. After considering the situation and discussing it with our board members, we decided that lowering our prices to meet the economical recession was the best answer. All employees were in on the idea that making less money is part of the sacrifice we are making in order to help our priceless customers and hopefully help the economy recover.

The bottom line is that our products will remain the same. Quality and great customer service will still be the backbone of our operation, which is how we earned our reputation for outperforming the competition. Call GotTransmissions.com for free quote. Speak with a sales specialist who has plenty of time to educate you so you make the best decision for your particular interests. Call us for your all transmissions and replacement needs @ 1-877-268-0664.

Used Transmissions for Sale: Reliable, Affordable and Shipped ASAP.

November 17th, 2009

There is a direct link between people putting off going to the doctor when they don’t feel well and people thinking that there transmissions will get better by itself instead of seeking professional help. Most of us know by know that denying a medical condition or a car transmissions problems, generally it leads to a more serious and complicated problem that cost more.

Seriously, if you had chest pains for weeks and weeks and kept denying that it may be a serious heart condition and not indigestion, there is a good chance of having a heart attack and complicating your life more, since a heart attack is considerably more serious than having your artery stented to avoid having a heart attack. Ignoring even the smallest suggestion from your car that you are suffering from a transmission problem generally leads to more pain, the ‘money out of pocket’ pain. It hurts just as bad as a heart attack, and takes you out of commission longer than if you just had it checked when it was barely an issue.

I’m not a medical doctor, but I know the best doctor in the world, my DAD. That and $4.50 (current Starbucks price) will get me a cup of coffee. the correlation between your body and preventive care is much like a car transmission and preventive care. As I mentioned earlier, got a problem? Stop and get it checked by a reputable source. ASAP.

Needless to say a transmission failure is not like you are gong to die,but if you ever have the opportunity to sit in on a person with a multi thousand dollar transmission problem, you  might think they were going to die. To be honest, most transmission conditions and heart conditions can be prevented pretty much by taking preventive measures.

In a humans case, eat better and exercise and take your meds if you have a prescription, in a cars case have your transmission maintained at the proper mileage or time frame, as the manufacturer suggests and use the proper transmission fluid, no substitutes, get the real deal from the dealer.

For the folks that are learning this late in life or the hard way ($$ out of pocket), then GotTransmissions.com is one of the most respected transmission supply companies in the USA. You need one of our good used transmissions, Call us @ 1-877-268-0664 and speak to knowledgeable representative who has the necessary amount of time to hear out your problem and then help you cure the pain with a transmission that is in your best interests.

Toyota Transmissions: Rav4 tranmsissions complaint…

November 17th, 2009

I was just reading a report about 120 owners of Toyota’s 2001-2003 RAV4 that have filed complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the numbers are sure to increase. Owners are upset and frustrated that Toyota is reluctant to acknowledge a defect with the electronically controlled transmissions.

The reports are saying that the transmission control unit (TCU) may fail and send mixed signals to the transmission. Once the owner notices the defect due to rough or missed shifts, the TCU needs to immediately be serviced to avoid major transmission damage. Owners were not notified even after Toyota has internally confirmed the issue (a TSB was issued to dealers in March of 2006).

The owners are all the more upset due to costly repair bills to replace transmissions when all the cars needed was a simple electronic module. A NHTSA spokesman said that it is watching the issue “very closely.” Meanwhile, Toyota is studying the issue to determine whether to extend its warranty on the parts in question.

The main reason I’m discussing this particular complaint issue is to demonstrate why you absolutely have no time to waste when you have the tiniest notion you have a transmission problem. The important part is that a relatively small or seeming innocuous problem can turn into a really expensive problem if you don’t take immediate action.

In fact, sales of the Rav4 transmissions from 2001 to the 2003 models has been somewhat above average, which is why I’m also writing this post. Te transmissions are well made and have potential for many good miles of use when taken care of properly. The big problem is that lots of folks deny their is a transmission problem or simply drive the car until it qiuts moving.

At GotTransmissions.com, we have very complete inventory of used transmissions and Rav4 Toyota transmissions for sale. More important is that we have affordable good used Transmission Control Units for sale if you find that you need one. for any car.

Become an educated consumer by reading our blog for more useful information such as this. Call GotTransmissions.com @ 1-877-268-0664 and speak to a trained transmission specialist to help you out with your problem and provide a solution in terms you understand.

I Said “Dude you need a good Used Transmission”.

“Where Our Customers Send Their Friends”

A day or so ago I got a call from a friend. It happens all the time. He had questions related to transmissions, his in particular. It almost sounds like a Three Stooges plot or Abbot and Costello when the questions start to pour out at me. It is amazing at the questions I can’t answer or don’t have any answer to when asked without even seeing the vehicle.

Some of the questions even come from doctors or people in any service industry. Anyway, he started asking me all these questions on the phone. By the way, this man is a doctor who has a general practice and also practices oncology. One thing he is not, is stupid, trust me. But some of his questions over the phone really made me chuckle inside. ” What do you think  is wrong with it,”? or How much will it cost”? How long will it take”?

Why are these silly questions? Especially coming from a person I know well and is a doctor, a highly educated medical doctor? Well, the funny part is that I can’t diagnose a transmission problem over the phone any better than he can diagnose a medical condition over the phone. After I mentioned that in a funny way we had a laugh. I told him I would be over to look at it soon.

I grabbed a few critical diagnostic tools and headed out. What I did in terms of diagnosis is not important, the discussion we had and outcome was. When I got there, I immediately went to work and diagnosed the problem, we chatted while I did it. It took about an hour and I explained what I was doing as I went along with my business.

After I found the problem we sat down and talked. This is essentially what I said: “Dude, Bro. did you see me diagnose your car? Pretty impressive, eh?” I asked “have you ever diagnosed a serious medical problem on the phone”? He said “Absolutely not, it is a matter of medical ethics and getting sued if I’m wrong.” I replied “with what you just said, did you really think I could diagnose your car over the phone”?

We laughed again and then I gave him his diagnosis and what I considered to be the best solution. My friend has a name by the way. His name is Dr. Snewman., MD. So I said “Doc, you need a replacement transmission. With over 150,000 mikes on it and the lack of maintenance this vehicle has received, it is not worth fixing, based on the age of the car, buy yourself a good used transmission and have my buddy who owns an engine shop install it. You might even get a discount since I know him well.

The doc took my advise and bought one of the low mileage used transmissions from GotTransmissions.com. He is very happy about the affordable price on the transmission and how well it works. The doc may make a good living, but he does not waste money, he knows a good value. In this case he got terrific value by installing use transmission. It met everyone of his personal needs.

Good used transmissions are a a good choice for many people who are experiencing a serious transmission issue. For a newer model car or truck in the 6 to 8 year old range, or a specialty car like a BMW, you can find some excellent deals on low mileage used transmissions out there.

How can you go wrong if you have an Mercedes or Beemer that needs a replacement transmission and the dealer wants about $7,000.00 for a factory replacement unit. That is for a transmission only, no labor or transmission fluid included, with a one year warranty. For half of that or less, you can buy a low mileage used transmission and have it professionally installed with transmission fluid, and a longer warranty than the dealership transmission.

We stock low mileage used transmissions out of cars that had no transmission problems at all, other than they were wrecked badly. Our reserves of used transmissions with 30,000 to 50,000 miles on them for sale at GotTransmissions.com is stacked as high as we can legally stack them, crated, tested and ready to go.

For most people a used transmission may be the best choice. For instance if the vehicle you drive is for work or  commercial purposes it probably should have a heavy duty transmission in it. Or if it is older than 10 to 13 years of age, used may be the most cost effective way to go. Remember, we offer nationwide labor warranties, don’t forget to ask..

Regardless of your choice in the type of replacement transmissions. GotTransmissions.com is the leading supplier of low mileage used transmissions, both manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Feel free to call @ 1-877-268-0664 and talk to an expert in transmission replacement.

Used Ford Transmissions: Sales and Service..

November 14th, 2009
“Where Our Customers Send Their Friends”Used Ford Transmissions For Sale

Used Ford Transmissions For Sale

Used Ford Transmissions are selling very well. The main transmissions we sell for Ford products are the Ford truck transmissions. Not very many rear wheel drive (RWD) Ford cars have transmission problems, except the Ford Exploder, I mean Ford Explorer, that is when the car is used appropriately and gets regular maintenance. The front wheel drives (FWD) have many more transmission problems and failures. In general FWD transmissions are taking over from RWD vehicles in most cars and the mid sized to smaller vans.

The most problematic transmissions, which are primarily used in the truck line and large vehicles like the Navigator, and some of the other Ford ‘boats’ on the road.

#1. The Ford transmissions deemed E4OD or C-6 with an overdrive as many mechanics call it, were the original BIG Ford overdrive/computerized transmissions. Used primarily in trucks, were a real disaster. Problematic and failure prone when introduced in the late ’80’s. Within a few years Ford corrected many of the issues, but many holes were left to be figured out by the top transmission men in the country. And before long R&D companies like Transgo had put an effective update kit on the market.

#2. The 4R100 replaced the E4OD in 1997 and was a modest upgrade in durability, yet was manufactured with some less than desirable parts. The manufacturer went from using good old fashioned cast iron clutch drums and other components that take a beating to a stamped steel replacement part. In essence the transmission worked better and had a potentially better life span, but under extreme duress, the stamped steel components, which were not as strong as the older cast iron components would literally rip apart. Cured one issue and developed another.

FYI: Many of the cast iron E4OD components would interchange with the 4R100 transmission, making it very durable. There is so much to say technically about these units, I’ll leave it at that.

#3. The 5R100W replaced the 4R100 in 2004. This unit is a 5 speed automatic transmission, keeping up with the times. Essentially very similar to the 4R100, with another gear added. This is quite a good transmission and seems reliable and trouble free for the most part.

Ford transmissions are in my opinion are designed with good integrity and structure. Regardless of what brand of transmission you buy, if the vehicle was beat up and not taken care of, the best transmissions in the world would be no good.

Our exclusive techniques for making sure only the best used transmissions come from GotTransmissions.com is to become networked with the finest recycling yards in the country. Top rated companies always do business with top rated companies. GotTransmissions.com is not looking for any shortcuts, we only sell low mileage used transmissions and ones we pre-test and certify to be in perfect working condition, or we reject them and return then to the recycling yard.

The bottom line is we are here to provide you with a solid understanding of how to choose the best used transmission for your particular circumstance. By listening to your situation our trained representatives can then outfit you with one of our used transmissions that will suit  your conditions the best. Don’t be fooled by a lot of sensationalistic advertising. GotTransmissions.com has outperformed the competition by spending their money on the products they sell.
