Expert Transmission Diagnostics
Modern transmissions are complex systems, and accurately diagnosing a problem takes both experience and the right equipment. Our team combines over 30 years of hands-on expertise with advanced computer-assisted diagnostic tools to pinpoint the cause of any transmission issue.
Our diagnostic process includes:
- Computer-assisted diagnostics to read fault codes and system data
- Visual inspections of fluid condition, levels, and external components
- Drive testing to replicate and identify symptoms (when the vehicle condition allows)
- Detailed assessment to determine the most accurate and cost-effective repair path
We don't guess. We diagnose. Every repair recommendation we make is backed by a thorough inspection of your vehicle's transmission system.
Transmission Drive Testing
One of the most effective ways to understand a transmission issue is to experience it firsthand. When the vehicle condition permits, we perform a drive test to replicate the problem you've described. This helps us gather valuable real-world data about how your transmission is behaving, so we can develop an accurate diagnosis and a clear repair plan.
Preventative Transmission Maintenance
Routine transmission maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in the long-term health of your vehicle. Neglecting this service can lead to premature wear, overheating, and costly repairs down the road.
Our transmission maintenance service typically includes:
- Draining old transmission fluid
- Removing and cleaning the transmission pan
- Replacing or cleaning the transmission filter
- Reinstalling the pan with a fresh gasket
- Refilling the system with new, clean transmission fluid
Most vehicles require this service every 30,000 to 40,000 miles, though your owner's manual may specify a different interval. Not sure when your transmission was last serviced? Come in and let us take a look.
Transmission Fluid Services
Keeping clean, properly filled transmission fluid is essential to your transmission's operation. Old or contaminated fluid loses its ability to lubricate and cool internal components, leading to increased friction and heat. If your fluid is dark, has a burnt smell, or you simply can't remember the last time it was changed, it's time for a fluid service.
