Signs Your Vehicle Needs Transmission Repair
Your vehicle's transmission is integral to its performance, and recognizing early signs of trouble can prevent costly repairs.
Look out for these indicators:
- Delayed or Rough Shifting: Experiencing hesitation or hard shifts when changing gears? This could indicate issues with your transmission system.
- Slipping Gears: If your car unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in gear, it's a clear sign that the transmission needs attention.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds while the vehicle is in gear can point to internal transmission problems.
- Warning Lights: The "Check Engine" or transmission-specific warning lights on your dashboard should never be ignored.
- Fluid Leaks: Red or brown puddles under your vehicle may signify a transmission fluid leak, which can lead to overheating and damage.
- Poor Acceleration: If your vehicle hesitates or lacks power when accelerating, the transmission might not be delivering power efficiently.
Addressing these symptoms promptly with a professional inspection can save you from more extensive repairs down the line.

"This was my first fix with cba. All the technicians were friendly. I needed a shuttle since the service was going to take more than a day. They not only took me to and from home but to and from my dental appointment as well! Plus they give a 3 year/36K war"
