If your 2017 Volkswagen Thing is showing signs of unit failure, don't panic. Sourcing a rigorously verified LKQ Transmission through our nationwide auto recycler network is the fastest, most cost-effective path to getting your vehicle back on the road — at unbeatable salvage yard rates.
We send high-quality Volkswagen Transmissions on fast freighters to automotive clinic clients in Los Angeles CA, Albuquerque NM, Portland OR, Louisville KY, Philadelphia PA, and everywhere in between. Expect your drivetrain assembly to arrive ready to install in typically within one week.
Quality assurance isn't optional here. Before any component is palletized, our team performs strict operational checks to confirm it's road-worthy. We also stock Radiators, Engine Blocks, Alternators and Transfer Cases, Fenders if you need additional components for your 2017 Thing.
Auto recycling facilities are highly regulated in the United States. Reputable authorized LKQ supplier operations maintain EPA compliance and proper title documentation on every salvaged auto in their yards. This means the recycled factory-grade unit you receive is legally sourced from a documented write-off.
Look for metal shavings in the oil pan, excessive blue smoke from the exhaust, or complete mechanical lockup. These symptoms typically confirm the drivetrain assembly is beyond repair. A recycled OEM swap is almost always cheaper than a full rebuild.
