Transmission Repair questions
Do you work on transmissions?
Yes. We handle automatic and manual transmission service, repair and replacement for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans.
How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Many vehicles do well with a service somewhere between 40,000 and 60,000 miles. We check your manufacturer's interval and the condition of the fluid.
Can a slipping transmission be repaired?
Sometimes. Low or burnt fluid and failed solenoids cause slipping too, so we test before recommending anything major.
