Bad Transmission cars we buy in Rochester
Transmission rebuilds start around $2,500 and rarely come with a long warranty. Selling the car is often the smarter move — we'll tow it free.
Our Rochester buyer network specializes in bad transmission vehicles. Whether the car sits in your driveway in Monroe County or on a side street downtown, we send a flatbed at no cost to you.
Symptoms we buy every day
Slipping out of gear, refuses to shift, stuck in one gear, grinding noises, transmission fluid everywhere, complete failure — every flavor of transmission trouble. We've seen it all and we'll make a fair offer.
Why a transmission isn't worth fixing on older cars
A $3,000+ rebuild on a 12-year-old sedan rarely makes economic sense. You'll often spend more than the car is worth and still have an old vehicle with new transmission risks. Cashing out is cleaner.
