Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.

Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

More about Your Transmission
Transmission Fluid Flush
Transmission fluid degrades over time and accumulates debris that reduces its ability to lubricate and protect internal components. Contaminated fluid contributes to rough or delayed shifting and, left unaddressed, accelerates wear inside the transmission. Our flush service drains the old fluid, removes built-up contaminants, and refills the system with fresh fluid. Unlike a standard fluid change, which only replaces what’s sitting in the pan, a full flush reaches fluid throughout the entire system, giving your transmission a cleaner start.
Transmission Repairs
When our inspection identifies a problem, our certified technicians perform the level of repair the findings actually call for, whether that’s a minor adjustment, replacing a faulty component, or a complete transmission rebuild. Rebuilding replaces only the defective parts inside your existing transmission, which can be more cost-effective than a full replacement when the casing and core components are still sound. Every repair is backed by the Nice Difference® Warranty.
Transmission Replacements
A full replacement is the right call in specific situations, typically for older vehicles or those with damage severe enough that rebuilding isn’t cost-effective. Our team can give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better path for your vehicle and your budget. When replacement is the answer, we install a transmission that meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, and the work is covered by the Nice Difference® Warranty.

FAQs
-
Q. "What factors determine the price of transmission repair?"Many different factors go into determining costs of transmission repair. The major factor is what type of vehicle you drive. The year, make and model of the car, determine how much parts and labor will cost. Another factor is how much damage the transmission has sustained. Your transmission should last a minimum of 100,000 miles by servicing your transmission on a regular basis.
-
Q. "What does automatic transmission service include?"Fluid is first drained from the pan during an automatic transmission service. A new transmission filter is installed with a new pan gasket once the pan has been removed. Finally, fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is used to refill the vehicle.
-
Q. "Is there a difference between a transmission fluid change and flush?"During a transmission fluid and filter change, it’s only the fluid in the pan that is drained and replaced with new ATF. Four to five quarts of fluid will typically be replaced in this process, while nine to thirteen quarts are replaced during a full transmission fluid flush. The difference in amounts is because the complete flush drains the entire system.
