You can purchase a used, rebuilt, remanufactured, or even new diesel engine to replace your old. At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, we’re here to help you choose the right one. 

Diagnostic Tablet on engine transmission sensor

Our Merced drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Super Shop Automotive feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on.  The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!

Diesel Truck

You have determined your Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke engine needs to be replaced. You might be on the fence about whether you should replace the engine in your diesel, or just get a new truck. At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, we’re here to help.

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

The alternator is responsible for powering anything electronic on your vehicle, including the coils that fire your spark plugs (unless it’s a diesel). At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, we know a bad alternator when we see one - here’s how you can spot one too.
