Frequently Asked Questions
How do you figure out what is wrong with my transmission?
We start with your description of the symptoms, then perform a road test, visual inspection, and fluid check. When possible, we use diagnostic equipment to read data and codes. An ASE-certified technician reviews the results and explains what we found so you understand the likely cause before deciding on repairs.
Will you tell me if I really need a transmission replacement?
We are clear about when replacement is and is not the best option. We compare repair and replacement choices, discuss your vehicle’s age and mileage, and explain why we recommend a certain path. We aim to educate you so you can make an informed decision you are comfortable with.
How long does transmission repair usually take?
Timing depends on what we find during diagnosis and parts availability. Some services can be completed the same day, while larger repairs or replacements may take several days. We explain expected time frames up front, keep you updated, and offer a complimentary shuttle to reduce disruption while your vehicle is here.
What kind of warranty do you offer on transmission work?
We offer an industry-leading warranty on our transmission repairs and replacement, which reflects the confidence we have in our workmanship and parts. The exact coverage can vary by service, so we review warranty details with you before work begins and answer any questions about how it applies.
Is it safe to keep driving if my transmission is slipping?
In many cases, continuing to drive with a slipping transmission can cause more damage and may leave you stranded. We generally recommend having the vehicle checked as soon as you can. Our team can help you decide whether it is better to drive in or arrange a tow based on your symptoms.

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.
