When choosing a common transmission repair or rebuild service we want to enable you to make informed decisions about maintaining and repairing your vehicle’s transmission to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Service: Comprehensive diagnosis and troubleshooting involve inspecting the transmission system to identify the root cause of any issues accurately. This may include visual checks, fluid analysis, computerized scans, and road tests to pinpoint transmission problems.
When to Use: Diagnosis and troubleshooting are necessary when you experience symptoms such as slipping gears, delayed shifting, unusual noises, fluid leaks, or dashboard warning lights. By identifying the underlying issue, technicians can recommend the appropriate repair or rebuild services to address the problem effectively.
Service: Transmission fluid service involves draining the old transmission fluid, replacing the filter (if applicable), and refilling the transmission with fresh fluid. This helps maintain proper lubrication and cooling of internal transmission components.
When to Use: Transmission fluid service is recommended as part of routine maintenance or if you notice discolored or burnt transmission fluid, fluid leaks, or shifting issues. Regular fluid changes can extend the life of your transmission and prevent costly repairs.
Service: Transmission repairs address specific issues within the transmission system, such as worn clutches, damaged seals, faulty solenoids, or worn gears. This may involve replacing individual components or making adjustments to restore proper transmission function.
When to Use: Transmission repairs are necessary when you experience symptoms such as slipping gears, delayed shifting, harsh shifting, or transmission fluid leaks. Repairs can address specific issues without the need for a complete transmission rebuild.
Service: A transmission rebuild involves disassembling the transmission, inspecting all components for wear or damage, replacing worn parts with new or remanufactured components, and reassembling the transmission to factory specifications. This comprehensive service restores the transmission to like-new condition.
When to Use: Transmission rebuilds are necessary when the transmission has significant wear, damage, or internal problems that cannot be addressed through individual repairs. Symptoms such as severe slipping, grinding noises, or complete transmission failure may warrant a rebuild.
Service: Transmission replacement involves removing the existing transmission and installing a new or remanufactured transmission. This service is necessary if the existing transmission is irreparable or if replacement is more cost-effective than rebuilding.
When to Use: Transmission replacement may be necessary for transmissions with catastrophic failure, extensive damage, or high mileage. Symptoms such as complete transmission failure, excessive slipping, or internal damage may warrant replacement.
Some common signs include slipping gears, delayed engagement, grinding noises, hard shifting, and the check engine light illuminating.
Transmission fluid change intervals vary depending on the vehicle make and model. Consult your owner's manual or consult with a qualified technician for specific recommendations.

Factors such as harsh driving conditions, towing heavy loads, and neglecting regular maintenance can contribute to transmission wear and tear.
Regular transmission fluid changes, avoiding harsh driving habits, and following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule can help prevent transmission problems.
