Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Gearhead Engines charges a core deposit up front on most products. Additionally, we offer FREE core returns and GUARANTEE you’ll receive your core deposit back on any like-for-like cores, regardless of condition and once we’ve received your original core.

You can expect to receive your core deposit back within 2-4 weeks of the product being picked up and returned to our warehouse. Your deposit will be applied back to the credit card used for purchase.

The remanufacturing process would not exist without cores. The ‘core’ is the base product from which our skilled machinists begin that process.

Returning your core replaces the core used to build your new, remanufactured product, and it provides us the ability to build products that may no longer be manufactured.

A key advantage of buying remanufactured products is that our skilled machinists and technicians work with the latest-generation parts and the most recent manufacturer OE specifications. This allows us to fix any potential trouble spots or flaws that might have been in the initial design of the product.

Remanufactured products you purchase from ATKsales.com are NOT used products or rebuilt. We remanufacture our product lines, allowing our skilled machinists to bring each product up to current OE standards OR BETTER. Remanufactured is NOT the same as rebuilt.

There are several advantages of remanufacturing over rebuilding.

Our remanufactured products are machined using the latest manufacturer OE specifications.

This results in higher quality than what might be expected with a rebuilt unit.

Every Gearhead Engines product is fully SIM-tested, which is something a local shop may not have the ability to do.

Additionally, our products are backed with fully transferable, nationwide parts-and-labor warranties. This is something that likely won’t be offered if a local shop rebuilds the product.

Lastly, we have a massive inventory of in stock transmissions, reducing downtime, and getting you back on the road quicker!

One major advantage of buying remanufactured is that our engines are in new (or better) condition. They have zero mileage or wear and will need to be “broken in” just like a new vehicle.
