Engine Replacement FAQ

New and Remanufactured Engine and Transmission Installations

Here at Chapel Hill Tire, we install both new and remanufactured engines and transmissions. Remanufactured engines and transmissions are used vehicle parts that have been salvaged or repaired. These solutions are often more affordable than their counterparts, but they may not last as long as new installations. However, the Chapel Hill Tire 3-year, 30,000-mile warranty applies to both new and remanufactured engines and transmissions. We offer both of these installation options to help you find a solution that meets your preferences, vehicle, and budget.
