Transmission Service & Repair

A vehicle’s transmission is a remarkable piece of technology that is essential to its overall performance. Whether manual or automatic, the system uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions, which transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

When this section of the drive train system does not operate as designed, the vehicle often loses power, produces a burning smell, suffers reduced fuel efficiency, or generates clunking and humming sounds. If your vehicle has any of these problems or if your check engine light is illuminated, there is a good chance that you need to bring your car in.

Before diagnosing a broken transmission, our technician will perform a computer diagnostic to find out if there is a problem in the control system. This can also help identify an electrical component that might need replacing.

The malfunction might be due to a sensor, instead of a mechanical problem. However, if you have a fluid leak, you may need to replace the pan bolts, drain plugs, seals, gasket and fluid lines. In other instances, the transmission fluid might need to be changed and flushed.

Fluid Flush

If necessary, having your transmission flushed can help get your car back to running as intended. A fluid flush is essentially a process that helps push out grime and sludge that has accumulated over time. First, the old oil is removed. Then, new oil and sometimes cleaning solutions are run through it to help remove the unwanted debris. Finally, the transmission is filled back up with new oil.

Transmission Rebuild

Depending on how worn out the parts are or how much damaged they’ve caused, our technicians might be able to rebuild your transmission, rather than having it replaced altogether. It’s a far more cost-effective solution, as only the parts that are extensively damaged get replaced, while our technicians fix everything that can be repaired. The initial diagnostic will help determine whether this is a feasible solution for your vehicle, or a full replacement is in order. This also depends on whether you have a manual or automatic transmission.

While you’re there, let us perform a Courtesy Check, which includes a visual check of the following items:

  • Engine air filter
  • Brake fluid
  • Power steering fluid
  • Automatic transmission fluid
  • Coolant/antifreeze
