A transmission replacement (also called a transmission swap) means removing your failed transmission and installing a quality used or remanufactured unit matched to your vehicle. It restores proper shifting and drivability without the long downtime of tearing your transmission apart.
Replacement is typically the right call when a transmission has major internal failure—slipping clutches, burnt bands, or worn bearings. A remanufactured transmission is rebuilt to factory specifications at a specialized facility, so you get like-new performance with a predictable timeline.
At E1 Auto Care, we specialize in transmission swaps using quality used or remanufactured transmissions—we don't rebuild transmissions in-house. We'll diagnose your issue accurately and help you choose the best option for your vehicle, your budget, and how long you plan to keep the car.

What Customers Say About Our Transmission Repairs
"Transmission was slipping badly. E1 gave me options—rebuild or reman. Went with reman and it's been perfect for 6 months. Saved thousands compared to dealer!"
- Robert J.

"I've been bringing my vehicles to E1 Auto for over 5 years. I've had a vehicle practically rebuilt by E1 Auto - a vehicle I was ready to junk. 2 transmissions, engine, suspension, and multiple maintenance repairs later, to say I'm satisfied would be an understatement!"
- Maffeo I.

Our Transmission Replacement Process
Comprehensive diagnostic scan and road test
Check fluid condition and inspect pan for debris
Confirm the transmission actually needs replacement—not a smaller repair
Sometimes what looks like transmission failure is really a solenoid, sensor, or fluid problem. We always verify the diagnosis before recommending a replacement—if a smaller repair will fix it, that's what we'll tell you.
