Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my transmission needs repair?
Common signs include slipping between gears, delayed engagement, harsh shifting, or fluid leaks. A warning light can also point to transmission concerns. The best way to know for sure is to have our team perform a focused inspection and share clear findings with you.
Will you recommend replacement if a repair is enough?
We work to recommend the option that fits your vehicle’s condition and your plans. If a repair is a reasonable and reliable choice, we explain that. If replacement is likely to be more dependable, we discuss why, so you can decide with full information.
How long will my car be in the shop?
Time in the shop depends on what we find. Some services, such as inspections or fluid exchanges, can often be completed the same day. More complex repairs or replacements may require additional time. Our advisors explain expected timing up front and provide updates along the way.
What kind of warranty do you offer on transmissions?
We offer an industry-leading warranty on approved transmission repairs and replacements. Specific terms can vary by service, and our team explains coverage details before work begins. This written warranty is designed to give you added confidence after you approve major transmission work.
Can I bring my car in if the transmission is slipping?
You can usually bring the car in, but if slipping is severe or the vehicle struggles to move, it may be safer to avoid driving. Give us a call so we can talk about the symptoms and help you decide the safest way to get your vehicle to our shop.

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.
