COMPREHENSIVE REBUILD WARRANTY
Every Continental Transmission rebuild is backed by a 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty that covers both parts and labor.

We rebuild transmissions for every type of vehicle, from daily commuters like the Honda Accord to workhorses such as the Ford F-150.

PRECISION REBUILD PROCESS
Our rebuild process starts with a full disassembly followed by a detailed inspection of every component.

This careful approach ensures that every rebuild delivers the strength and performance of a transmission that feels brand new.
Certified Transmission Rebuild Services in Buffalo & WNY
For over five decades, western new york drivers have relied on continental transmission for rebuilt transmissions that deliver lasting performance.
Our driving conditions put transmissions to the test, from stop-and-go traffic on the 190 to heavy towing in the Southern Tier and the extremes of winter cold and summer heat. Salt, hills, and heavy loads accelerate wear, making expert rebuilding essential to keep vehicles operating reliably.
Continental Transmission has met these challenges since 1974 with precision rebuilds, advanced diagnostic tools, and warranties drivers can trust. With three locations in West Seneca, Cheektowaga, and Hamburg, we provide convenient access to master technicians and state-of-the-art equipment across the Buffalo metro area.

The Advantage of a Complete Rebuild
A professional rebuild delivers lasting value because it restores the transmission as a complete system rather than addressing only the failed unit. Each rebuild incorporates updated materials and design improvements that were not part of the original manufacturing process. Weak points are reinforced, friction materials are upgraded, and sealing technology is enhanced to ensure longer service life and dependable performance under demanding conditions.
Modern transmissions contain hundreds of precision-machined components that must function together within microscopic tolerances. As these components wear, partial repairs often provide only short-term relief and fail to resolve underlying issues. A complete rebuild restores all clearances, replaces every wear item with premium-grade parts, and returns each system to proper specifications. The result is a transmission that delivers like-new performance and long-term reliability at a fraction of the cost of factory replacement.
Advanced Rebuilding Technology
Today’s transmission rebuilds require sophisticated equipment and extensive technical knowledge. Our shops feature precision boring equipment for case repairs, ultrasonic cleaning systems for component restoration, and computer-controlled testing equipment that verifies performance to factory standards. We invest in the tools necessary to rebuild transmissions properly because half-measures simply don’t last.
Our technicians regularly attend manufacturer training programs, staying current with evolving rebuild procedures and updated specifications. Whether rebuilding a classic TH350 or a modern 10-speed unit, we apply the same attention to detail and commitment to quality. Every rebuild benefits from decades of accumulated knowledge and the most advanced equipment available.
Warranty Protection and Peace of Mind
Our 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty reflects the confidence we place in every transmission we rebuild. This coverage protects your investment on everything from daily Buffalo commutes to long-distance travel, and extended warranty options are available for high-mileage vehicles and commercial fleets that demand added protection.
When a warranty claim arises, it receives immediate attention because we know how essential your vehicle is to your daily life. Continental Transmission has stood behind its work since 1974, earning the trust of families and businesses across Western New York.
