Frequently Asked Questions


What Are the Common Symptoms of Transmission Issues?

Symptoms of transmission issues can vary, but common indicators include slipping gears, difficulty shifting, leaking fluid, and unusual noises. Slipping gears might feel like the vehicle suddenly changes speed without warning, while difficulty shifting can be experienced as a delay or harsh gear shift. Fluid leaks are often red or brown and found under the vehicle. 

If you notice these symptoms, seek professional help promptly to avoid further damage. Understanding and reacting to these symptoms swiftly can safeguard against larger issues, such as total transmission failure, which can be both costly and inconvenient.

How Often Should I Get My Transmission Checked?

Regular transmission maintenance is crucial for vehicle longevity. It's generally recommended to have your transmission fluid checked every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, though this can vary based on your vehicle's make and model. 

During these checks, technicians can also inspect for potential issues like worn belts or leaky seals, ensuring early detection and repair.

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.
