Frequently Asked Questions


What Causes Transmission Problems?

Transmission issues can arise from factors such as lack of maintenance, using incorrect fluid types, or normal wear and tear. Hot climates, such as Gilbert, can exacerbate these issues, as heat affects fluid efficiency and causes components to expand and wear out more quickly. Regular maintenance is crucial in preventing problems from developing into major repairs.

How Often Should I Get My Transmission Checked?

It is recommended to check transmission fluid at least once every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, given Gilbert's hot climate, you may want to consider more frequent checks. Our technicians can tailor a maintenance schedule to your driving habits and local conditions, keeping your vehicle in peak condition.

Can Transmission Problems Affect Vehicle Performance?

Yes, transmission problems can significantly impact your vehicle's performance. Issues such as rough or delayed shifting can lead to reduced gas mileage and strain other car parts. Persistent problems can result in severe mechanical failures. It's crucial to address signs of transmission trouble promptly to prevent further damage.

Is It Better to Repair or Replace a Transmission?

Deciding whether to repair or replace a transmission depends on the extent of the damage and the vehicle's age. Repairs can often resolve minor issues and extend the life of the transmission. However, for significant failures or older vehicles, replacement might be more economical in the long run. Our team can provide a detailed assessment to help you make an informed choice.

What Types of Transmissions Do You Service?

We service all types of transmissions, including both automatic and manual systems. Our technicians are adept with all makes and models, ensuring effective repair services tailored to each vehicle's specific transmission system.

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.
