Short answer: A-1 Auto Parts supplies used engines and used transmissions to Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia and Joplin, Missouri. Kansas City is only about three hours from our Omaha yard, so freight usually arrives in 1–2 business days and St. Louis in 2–3. Missouri shops can also drive up and collect. Every unit is checked against your VIN or code, and bulk trade pricing is available.
Missouri is one of our closest markets
With I-29 running straight from Omaha to Kansas City and I-70 continuing to Columbia and St. Louis, Missouri buyers get some of our fastest delivery times. Many Kansas City shops prefer to send their own truck to collect several units at once – just call ahead and we will have them staged.
Emissions and inspection notes
The St. Louis area (St. Louis City and St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson and Franklin counties) runs an emissions inspection program, and Missouri still requires safety inspections for older or higher-mileage vehicles. For an engine swap, choose a unit with the same or newer model year and the same emissions setup as your original, as EPA guidance recommends – we match by VIN to make that easy.
What Missouri customers order
- Ford, Chrysler and Jeep engines.
- Hyundai and Kia engines for budget-friendly repairs.
- Used gearboxes including 4×4 units for rural Missouri.
- BMW and Audi engines for Kansas City and St. Louis European specialists.
