Ten steps take a worn work truck from intake to like new. Here is exactly what happens in our shop in Jarrell, TX, and why the result carries a 3-year / 100,000-mile drivetrain warranty.
Remanufacturing is not a repair, and it is not a used truck with new paint. We replace or restore the mechanical systems of the truck you already own, over 120 parts on a full reman, so the truck you know and trust drives, stops, and rides like it did when it was new. A new truck can run $60,000 or more. A reman is about half that.
Every truck starts with a full assessment. We go through the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, electrical, interior, and body, and write down exactly what the truck needs and what it doesn't. You see the list before we turn a wrench.
Every fluid comes out and is captured for recycling: oil, coolant, fuel, refrigerant, brake fluid. Then the truck gets washed down to bare surfaces so nothing hides from the next step.
The truck comes apart. Cab, bed, drivetrain, suspension. Tear-down is where we confirm the assessment and catch anything the road hid from us.
The engine and transmission are remanufactured or replaced with remanufactured units. This is the heart of the job and the reason the warranty covers 3 years or 100,000 miles.
Springs, shocks, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, steering components. The parts that make an old truck drive like an old truck all get replaced.
Brakes, cooling, HVAC, belts, hoses, pumps, and the hundred small mechanical parts that fail one at a time on a worn truck. We replace them all at once instead.
Seats, headliner, dash, door panels, carpet. The cab is where your crew lives all day, so it comes back looking and feeling new.
Dents come out, rust gets cut and repaired, glass gets replaced where it needs to be, and the truck gets refinished in your color, including fleet branding if you want it.
Everything goes back together with new hardware where it counts. This is where a pile of restored systems becomes a truck again.
Before you get the keys, the truck passes a full quality inspection and a road test. If it doesn't drive like new, it doesn't leave.
Most trucks are in and out in 2 to 4 weeks, drop-off to delivery. Lighter packages move faster, and paint and body work can add time. Compare that to months of drip-feed downtime keeping an old truck limping, or the wait and sticker shock of ordering new.
Every full reman is backed by a 3-year / 100,000-mile warranty on the engine and transmission, honored nationwide. We can stand behind that because we replace the parts that fail, before they fail.
Every truck is different, which is exactly why we built the estimator. Pick your make, model, and years, and it shows you a real parts-and-labor number for your exact truck in about 10 seconds. See our FAQ for what's included, or talk to a real person.
