When your car breaks down, one of the most stressful decisions is how and where to source replacement parts. For many Honda owners in Santa Clara, the high cost of dealership service can be a deterrent — but there’s a smarter way. Today’s customer story shows just how much you can save by going with used OEM parts from Honda’s Only Auto Dismantlers.

The Problem:

Carlos, a Santa Clara resident, owns a 2014 Honda Civic. When his transmission began slipping at 98,000 miles, he got a quote from a local dealership: over $3,500 for parts and labor. But Carlos didn’t give up — he started looking for alternatives.

The Discovery:

After a bit of research, Carlos found Honda’s Only Auto Dismantlers. He was surprised to learn they specialize exclusively in used Honda parts — including fully tested OEM transmissions — and offer both local pickup and delivery.

The Savings:

He picked up a salvaged OEM transmission for $1,200 with a 90-day warranty. Installation at his independent mechanic cost him $1,300, bringing the total to $2,500 — a savings of $1,000 compared to the dealer.

Why It Matters:

OEM parts from a trusted salvage yard don’t just save money — they’re often the exact match for your vehicle, ensuring long-term reliability. Plus, Carlos was able to inspect the part before purchasing and received help with compatibility questions.

Final Word:

Carlos says: “The experience was smooth, and the team really knew what they were talking about. I’m back on the road — and I saved a grand!”
