Hondas Can be Challenging

Is there ever a time when you feel like you could use an extra set of hands? Maybe when you come across an uncommon unit or when a hard to build transmission comes into your shop? Whether you rebuild, repair or replace, at Transtar we understand that situations like these happen all the time. That’s why our Complete Transmission Solutions (CTS) team is hard at work every single day in the effort to make sure we have exactly what you need when it comes to complete units. Click here to view more about our Complete Transmission Solutions.

As you may know, one of the most difficult to find transmissions in the Aftermarket today is the Honda unit – and we have them! As a matter of fact, we are the leading supplier of OE-quality Honda transmission units in the Automotive Aftermarket. We have coverage of the vast majority of the total Honda offering.

Our Honda units are remanufactured in the U.S. to the original OE specifications. Every complete unit is fully tested using state-of-the-art equipment and is backed by the Transtar Seal of Quality. Units are updated with the latest pieces and fittings and Transtar’s 36-month/100,000 mile premium warranty. And, with our extensive inventory, we can ship these units many times the same day – at a great value.
 

Always Thinking of You

There are numerous companies today that are so fixated on selling their products or services that they forget about how important sharing their knowledge is. This is something that Transtar has NEVER forgotten. Since day one, we have shared our extensive knowledge through several outlets like catalogs, tech bulletins, and ATRA and ATSG seminars.

Striving to keep all outlets of information as up-to-date as possible, the marketing team has released the 2011 Allison Transmission Parts catalog. This catalog has a great deal of product information – especially on the World Transmission designs. There are also plenty of illustrations and an easy way to look up what it is you are working on and what it is you need.

In honor of the release of this catalog, Transtar will be offering an Allison promotion until May 31, 2011! All Transtar customers will receive 10% off their first Allison order  (Maximum discount is $100.)

Cool Tools

QR Codes
Transtar is now using QR Codes in our ads and some of our sell sheets – so make sure to look for them! What exactly is a QR Code you may ask? A QR Code is an image you can scan if you have a camera phone equipped with the correct reader. When you scan the code with your phone, a link is displayed directing you to a web page for further information. Several phones come with QR Code readers preinstalled, which makes it even easier to learn more about topics that interest you on our website. For phones that do not come with the reader, it can be installed by searching the Web for "QR Reader" and the model of the phone to find a scanner app.
