What we handle

Diagnose before you replace

A transmission replacement is one of the biggest bills a vehicle can hand you — so we make sure that's actually what you need before anyone quotes one.

  • Transmission diagnostics — codes, fluid condition, and a road test to pin down the real issue
  • Fluid & filter service — the maintenance that prevents most failures in the first place
  • Leak repair — seals, pans, and lines fixed before low fluid does real damage
  • Shift & slip issues — diagnosed instead of guessed at, so you don't overpay
  • Honest recommendation — service, repair, or replace, with the reasoning laid out

Why it matters

Most transmissions die from neglect, not age

Burnt, low, or worn-out fluid is behind a huge share of transmission failures. Caught early, a simple service can add years of life. Caught late, the same symptom can mean a rebuild. The difference is usually whether someone checked the fluid before the slipping started.

If you're already slipping or shifting hard, we'll diagnose it honestly — and if the fix is smaller than you feared, we'll be glad to tell you. We won't quote a replacement on a problem a service can solve.

Transmission service FAQ

What are the signs of transmission trouble?
Slipping or revving without accelerating, hard or delayed shifts, a burning smell, a red or brown fluid leak, or a warning light. Any of these is worth a look before it gets worse.
Do I need a new transmission?
Often, no. Many symptoms come from low or burnt fluid, a leak, or a sensor — not a failed unit. We diagnose first and only recommend a replacement when it's genuinely needed.
How often should transmission fluid be serviced?
It varies by vehicle and how you drive — towing and fleet use shorten the interval. We'll check the condition and set the right schedule for your vehicle.
Do you service diesel and work-van transmissions?
Yes. Diesel rigs and the Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit, and Mercedes Sprinter vans we specialize in are all part of what we handle.
