When a vehicle you depend on starts losing power, burning oil, or developing persistent drivetrain issues, replacement isn't always the best answer. At Vertical Automotive in Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale, our ASE-certified technicians perform complete powertrain restorations — including engine rebuilds, transmission overhauls, and drivetrain component replacement. Using precision machining and quality parts, we restore your vehicle's powertrain to reliable, like-new performance. For many drivers, powertrain restoration is the smartest financial decision: you keep a vehicle you know and trust while avoiding the cost and depreciation of buying new.
Consider powertrain restoration if your vehicle has high mileage with declining performance, excessive oil consumption, persistent engine or transmission problems, or if repair costs on individual components keep adding up. It's also ideal for vehicles with sentimental value or those that are mechanically sound everywhere except the drivetrain.
A complete powertrain restoration extends your vehicle's life by years, restores original power and efficiency, eliminates recurring mechanical issues, and costs significantly less than purchasing a replacement vehicle. You get the reliability of a fresh drivetrain in a vehicle you already know and trust.
