Short answer: A-1 Auto Parts ships used engines and used transmissions to Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon and Columbus, Georgia from Omaha, Nebraska. Typical LTL freight transit is 3–5 business days. We match every engine to your VIN for the metro-Atlanta emissions area, and shops, dealers and exporters using the Port of Savannah can request bulk pricing.
Used engines for metro Atlanta: emissions considerations
Georgia requires annual emissions inspections for most gasoline cars and light trucks registered in 13 metro-Atlanta counties, including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett. A replacement engine should be the same model year or newer and keep the same emissions equipment as the original, in line with EPA engine-switching guidance. Sending your VIN with the order lets us supply the correct variant.
Georgia demand: commuters, dealers and exporters
Atlanta’s long commutes rack up mileage quickly, and Georgia’s heat and humidity are tough on cooling systems and automatic gearboxes. The state also has a large used-car dealer network and, through the Port of Savannah, a busy vehicle and parts export trade. Our Georgia customers typically order:
- Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Kia engines for daily drivers.
- Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi engines for European specialists in Buckhead and Alpharetta.
- Used gearboxes – automatic units for SUVs and minivans.
- Mixed engine and gearbox loads consolidated for export through Savannah.
