Nobody wants to put an engine or transmission in their car. However, when that time comes, it’s important to make an informed decision - here are some things to consider when installing a used engine or transmission, from Brad Bearden Automotive in Albertville, AL.

Mechanic working on vehicle in shop

The most important part of your visit to any shop is making sure that your vehicle receives the best repair. While we uphold that standard, the team at Brad Bearden Automotive will also go above and beyond to ensure that you get only the best customer service along with a competent repair.

fleet or vehicles

Brad Bearden Automotive in Albertville, AL has the answers. Here are some tips that unlock the secret to keeping a smooth-running fleet, from us to you.

drivetrain

Your drivetrain is where most of the process of moving your vehicle occurs. The drivetrain includes all the parts powered by the engine to turn the wheels, including the transmission, axles, or driveshafts that combine efforts to propel your car forward (or backward, when you’re in reverse.) At Brad Bearden Automotive in Albertville, AL, our drivetrain specialists are well equipped to keep your car, truck, or SUV reliably on the road and running smoothly along.

tire

Once you’ve got your new tires installed on your diesel truck, you’ll want to keep them in good shape. Tires aren’t difficult to maintain, and maintaining them correctly will dramatically increase their longevity. Inspection and maintenance are the two key components to making sure they last.

oil change

Once your diesel truck is back on the road, you’ll definitely want to keep it running strong. At Brad Bearden Automotive in Albertville, AL, we’ve got you covered.

tires

There are a wide variety of tires available for your diesel truck, no matter what sort of pickup you drive. The climate, the terrain you drive on, and how you drive will determine which tire is best for you. Here’s a short list of common truck tire types.

oil being poured into a funnel

Trucks aren’t like cars...your average personal vehicle usually holds about 5 quarts of oil, and you are supposed to change it every 3-5k miles. However, the same logic doesn’t apply to large trucks. At Brad Bearden Automotive in Albertville, AL, we know how important proper oil changes and diagnostics are to keep your truck on the road, for hundreds of thousands of miles.
