What is the cheapest way to replace my transmission?  It is usually cheaper to install a used transmission.  Yet, the cheapest way is not always the best way. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell how well a used transmission was working before being removed from the original vehicle.  Also, you don’t know how many miles the used transmission has been driven.   We also do not know the maintenance history of that transmission.  At Central Florida Transmission Repair, our mechanics approach every repair the same way.  Our goal is to recommend the most practical repair based on cost and reliability.  We save our customers as much money as possible but we never recommend a lesser repair than is required. We don’t suggest a repair that will result in your not being satisfied.  Our service managers and technicians are very good at saving our customers money.  Many times our repairs are the least expensive option which we recommend.
