Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I service my transmission?

Regular maintenance of your transmission is vital for performance and longevity. Typically, a transmission service is recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. 

Always consult your owner’s manual for specific guidance. In Grapevine, where driving conditions can vary, adhering to a regular service schedule is crucial to prevent unexpected failures.

What are signs my transmission needs repair?

Signs you may need a transmission repair include unusual noises, delayed shifting, slipping gears, or warning lights on your dashboard. Contact us for a diagnostic assessment if you experience any of these issues. 

Quick action can prevent minor issues from developing into major problems, saving time and expense in the long run. In Grapevine's diverse conditions, early detection is your best defense against costly repairs.

Is it better to repair or replace a transmission?

The decision to repair or replace a transmission depends on the extent of the damage and the vehicle’s age. Our technicians provide a thorough inspection to advise the best course of action that balances cost and benefit. 

With our transparent approach, you’ll have all the information needed to make a sound decision, with options clearly laid out. Our commitment to clear communication and quality service means you are informed at every step in the process.

Why is transmission maintenance essential?

Regular transmission maintenance ensures optimal vehicle operation, improves fuel efficiency, and extends its service life. This routine care can prevent costly repairs in the future. 

Well-maintained transmissions are less prone to failure, saving money and enhancing safety and reliability on the road. Regular checks are particularly important in Grapevine’s environmental conditions, where temperature variations can affect vehicle performance.

How do I know if my transmission fluid needs changing?

If your transmission fluid is dark, dirty, or has a burning smell, it’s time for a change. Clean fluid is typically a clear red and has a sweetish odor. Always check your levels regularly and bring your vehicle in if you’re unsure. 

Conducting regular checks allows for prompt intervention, preventing the kind of damage that can reduce transmission lifespan. In Grapevine, with its varied driving environments, staying vigilant about fluid levels can ensure long-term vehicle health.

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.
  • Q. "Do you offer a shuttle service?"
    Yes! we understand you have a full schedule. Whether you need to get to work, school, or need to attend to other responsibilities, we can take you where you need to go. Click here to learn more.
