Transmission repair costs depend on, first, what is wrong with the transmission and, second, what parts may be required to correct the problem. Overall, 60% of all repairs are minor ones that do not require a complete overhaul of the transmission. 

Today's transmissions are more sophisticated and require extensive testing to determine the reason for failure. That is why we offer a performance check to determine what, if anything, is wrong with the vehicle's transmission.

A transmission flush requires a machine to be hooked up to the car through the cooler lines that flushes the old transmission fluid out as it pumps the new transmission fluid in. 

The transmission filter will not be changed. When performing a fluid change, the transmission pan is removed and a new transmission filter is installed, along with a new pan gasket, in addition to the installation of the correct type of recommended transmission fluid for your vehicle. 

There are many different types of transmission fluid that go along with the various year, make, and model of vehicles. It's imperative that the correct type of transmission fluid is used. Reach out to us today to get started with your transmission repair.

When checking your transmission fluid, look for these specific things:

- The fluid's current level

- The fluid color. Good transmission fluid will be a bright, transparent red color

- The fluid consistency. The consistency of transmission fluid should be thin, with no contaminants or particles mixed in

- The fluid's smell. Transmission fluid is practically odorless, so if you notice a burnt odor, you likely have a transmission issue and you should contact a transmission repair facility for a diagnosis.

Please keep in mind that some vehicles require special tools to check the fluid.
