We exist because finding the right used engine or transmission online is harder than it should be. We built a faster, clearer way to do it.
BS Auto Motives connects drivers, shops, and fleet operators across the United States with used drivetrain parts. We're not a salvage yard and we're not a parts catalog — we're the layer that makes it simple to search across suppliers, verify fitment, and get a written quote without spending half a day on the phone.
Every order we receive runs through the same workflow: VIN-match, supplier search, source inspection, written quote. No upsells. No surprises.
about-team.jpg→ /assets/images/Mileage, warranty terms, and shipping window — all in writing before you commit. No verbal estimates that change later.
Most orders get a quote back the same business day. We know your downtime is expensive.
Every order starts with a VIN check and drivetrain verification. We'd rather lose the order than ship a wrong-fit part.
Send us a short request and we'll come back with availability and pricing — usually the same business day.

From imports to hybrids to American classics — here's what customers across the West Coast have said about their experience with us.
"My 2015 Camry needed a new engine after a coolant leak. I called several places — these folks were the most patient explaining the differences between options. The 2.5L L4 they sourced was clean, came with their 5-year warranty, installed without surprises."
"Subaru CVT transmissions are notoriously expensive to replace. Found a low-mileage unit through them for my 2014 Outback at less than half the dealer quote. Their sales rep clearly knew Subaru-specific issues, which made me trust the recommendation."
"My 2013 Civic's K24 was burning oil. The sales rep gave me a few options at different price points and explained the trade-offs. Picked one in the middle range, running great 8 months later."
"Was hesitant to source a used transmission for my 2012 BMW 335i — German cars can be picky. They had a unit from a low-mileage donor car, paperwork included. My BMW specialist installed it without drama. Saved me thousands. Communication slowed down between order and shipping which is the only thing I'd flag."
"My 2010 Tacoma's 4.0L V6 needed replacing after 280k miles. They found one with 90k on it, shipped quickly. Truck's been my daily driver since. Honest folks, fair pricing."
"Wanted to keep my 2016 Prius alive without spending hybrid-dealership money. They sourced a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine, matched the right generation. Mechanic said the swap was textbook. Cost me about a third of what the dealer wanted."
