Transmission Service & Repair

Transmission trouble doesn't always mean a rebuild. We diagnose first — many shifting problems are fixed with a fluid service, a sensor, or a software update.

  • From $189
  • 1 hr–2 days
  • 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty

Signs it's time

  • Delayed, harsh, or slipping shifts
  • Engine revs but the car doesn't accelerate

  • Burning smell after driving
  • Clutch slips or the pedal feels different

How we do it

  1. 1
    Scan & road test

    We read transmission codes and feel how it shifts on a road test.

  2. 2
    Check the fluid

    Level, color, and smell tell us a lot about internal wear.

  3. 3
    Recommend the least invasive fix

    Fluid service, solenoid, or software — before talking rebuilds.

  4. 4
    Repair & warranty

    Every transmission repair is covered by our nationwide warranty.

Common questions

Should I flush my transmission fluid?

Most automatics benefit from a fluid service every 50,000–60,000 miles, even if the manual says "lifetime" fluid. We'll recommend what fits your vehicle.

Another shop said I need a new transmission. Can you check?

Yes — second opinions are free with a diagnosis. Sometimes the fix is much smaller.

Do you work on manual transmissions?

Yes, including clutch replacements on cars and light trucks.
