Southwest Transmissions sells used automobile engines and transmissions, not used automobiles.

State and federal laws regulate odometer mileage for most used automobiles, but odometer mileage determinations for used transmissions and transmission parts are not practically possible, and are not subject to known state and federal laws. Determination of mileage use for used engines or transmissions cannot be done with certainty because these engines and transmissions are routinely sold and transferred separate and apart from the original vehicle in which they were installed. Therefore all representations of mileage are estimates based upon information and belief.

Southwest Transmissions does, however, offer extensive engine and transmission part warranties regardless of mileage, relying upon Southwest Transmissions expertise evaluation of its products.

In the event that the Buyer defaults in the terms of payment, the Buyer agrees to reimburse GOT for all cost and reasonable attorney fees it incurs in a collection action.

We do NOT accept anything Freight Collect.
