Top-Notch Transmission Repair

Our transmission repair services typically begin with a thorough inspection and diagnosis to identify the underlying cause of the problem, which could include issues such as slipping gears, delayed shifting, or unusual noises. Once the problem is identified, our technicians can proceed with repairing or replacing damaged or worn components such as clutches, bands, seals, solenoids, or valve bodies.

In some cases, the transmission fluid may need to be flushed and replaced, and adjustments may be made to the transmission linkage or control module. Some repairs may also entail reprogramming the vehicle's computer system to address performance issues or improve shifting patterns.

Comprehensive Transmission Care

Transmission Diagnostics
Our experienced technicians use specialized tools and techniques to diagnose transmission issues accurately. This includes conducting computerized scans, test-driving the vehicle, and performing visual inspections to identify the root cause of transmission problems such as slipping gears, rough shifting, or transmission fluid leaks.
Transmission Fluid Service
Regular maintenance of transmission fluid is crucial for optimal transmission performance and longevity. These services may include fluid flushes, fluid changes, and filter replacements to remove contaminants and ensure proper lubrication and cooling of your transmission’s components.
Transmission Rebuilds
In cases of significant damage or wear, a transmission rebuild may be necessary. This involves disassembling the transmission, inspecting and replacing worn or damaged components, and reassembling it to factory specifications. Transmission rebuilds restore the functionality and reliability of the transmission, extending its lifespan and improving performance.
Transmission Replacement
In some instances, such as irreparable damage or extensive wear, a transmission replacement may be the most viable option. Our technicians remove the old transmission and install a new or remanufactured unit, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle and proper operation. Transmission replacements offer a reliable solution for restoring vehicle drivability and performance when repair options are limited.

Common Transmission Questions

Can I drive my vehicle if the transmission is malfunctioning?

Driving with a malfunctioning transmission can exacerbate existing issues and potentially cause further damage to the transmission or other components of the vehicle. It's best to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician as soon as possible if you suspect transmission problems. Continuing to drive a vehicle with transmission issues can lead to costly repairs and safety hazards.
What factors can contribute to transmission problems?

Several factors can contribute to transmission problems, including insufficient or contaminated transmission fluid, overheating, worn or damaged transmission components, driving habits (such as towing heavy loads or aggressive driving), and lack of routine maintenance. Regular inspections, fluid checks, and maintenance can help identify potential issues early and prevent transmission problems from occurring.
Can transmission fluid maintenance prevent the need for repairs?

Yes, regular maintenance of transmission fluid can help prevent transmission issues and prolong the life of the transmission. Transmission fluid serves to lubricate, cool, and clean the transmission components, so keeping the fluid clean and at the proper level is essential. Routine transmission fluid flushes and replacements, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, can help prevent premature wear and damage to the transmission.
Is it better to repair or replace a transmission?

The decision to repair or replace a transmission depends on factors such as the extent of the damage, the age and condition of the vehicle, and the cost of repairs versus the cost of replacement. Minor repairs may be more cost-effective than a full transmission replacement, but in cases of severe damage or wear, a replacement may be the more viable option for ensuring reliable vehicle operation. It's best to consult with a qualified technician to evaluate the best course of action for your specific situation.
