FAQs

Do I need a transmission repair or a complete transmission rebuild?

The only way to know for sure is through professional transmission diagnostics. Some transmission problems can be repaired by replacing specific components, while severe internal damage may require a complete transmission rebuild. Our technicians inspect your transmission, explain the findings, and recommend the most cost-effective repair before any work begins.

What are the signs that my transmission is failing?

Common signs of transmission problems include slipping gears, delayed shifting, hard shifting, transmission fluid leaks, warning lights, grinding noises, whining sounds, shuddering, or your vehicle refusing to move. If you notice any of these symptoms, scheduling transmission diagnostics early may help prevent more extensive repairs.

How much does transmission repair cost?

Transmission repair costs vary depending on the vehicle, transmission type, and extent of internal damage. Minor repairs are typically less expensive than a complete transmission rebuild or replacement. After diagnosing your vehicle, we'll provide a detailed estimate before any repairs begin.

Do you rebuild transmissions in-house?

Yes. Every qualifying transmission rebuild is completed in-house by our experienced technicians using documented rebuilding procedures and quality control inspections. This allows us to maintain consistent workmanship and faster turnaround times compared to shops that outsource transmission rebuilding.

What types of transmissions do you repair?

We repair automatic transmissions in most domestic and many late-model vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, RAM, Jeep, Chrysler, and many SUVs and light-duty trucks. We also rebuild transfer cases, differentials, and other drivetrain components.

Do you work on diesel trucks?

Yes. We specialize in heavy-duty transmission repair and rebuilding for diesel trucks, including many Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax applications. Whether your truck is used for towing, commercial work, or daily driving, we can diagnose and repair drivetrain problems.

What is included in your drivetrain repair services?

Our drivetrain repair services include transmission repair, transmission rebuilding, transfer case repair, differential repair, axle repairs, drivetrain diagnostics, and related component inspections to help restore dependable performance.

How long does a transmission rebuild take?

Repair times depend on the vehicle, parts availability, and the extent of the damage. After completing diagnostics, we'll provide an estimated completion date and keep you updated throughout the repair process.

Do you offer a warranty on transmission rebuilds?

Yes. Our qualifying transmission rebuilds are backed by a 3-year / 100,000-mile nationwide warranty, giving customers added confidence long after the repair is completed.

Can I drive with a slipping transmission?

Continuing to drive with a slipping or malfunctioning transmission can lead to additional internal damage and significantly increase repair costs. If your transmission is slipping, shifting harshly, or making unusual noises, it's best to have it inspected as soon as possible.
