What You Need to Know About Engine and Transmission Replacements

Replace Your Engine or Transmission: Not Your Car

We get it everyone wants that shiny new car with the latest features. But let’s be real: 85% of new cars in the U.S. are financed, and the average loan term is nearly 6 years. Add rising interest rates, dealer fees, and depreciation, and suddenly your new ride doesn’t feel so exciting anymore.

Smart money says: keep the car, fix the heart.

Instead of locking yourself into years of payments, replacing your engine or transmission might be the smarter, more affordable route. At ABC Auto Repair in Burien, we help you extend your vehicle’s life while keeping your finances in check.

Why Engine or Transmission Replacement Beats Buying Another Used Car

It’s tempting to buy a used car for the same cost as a remanufactured engine or transmission replacement. But here’s the catch:
You’re buying someone else’s problem, and you won’t know how it was driven or maintained.

Even with a pre-purchase inspection, many issues don’t show up until months later. If you're not ready to roll the dice on a mystery machine, here’s a better option:

Benefits of Replacing Your Engine or Transmission

2. Save on Licensing and Dealer Fees
