Frequently Asked
Questions

-
Can you tell me how much it is going to cost?
Yes, we can give you an estimate. However, external "symptoms" may look very
different when we disassemble your transmission. We just can't tell exactly what is wrong
until we get a look inside. That's when we can tell you the exact cost for parts and
labor.
-
Why is transmission repair so expensive?
Today's vehicles are more compact with mechanical systems that are tightly arranged.
Disassembly is more complex. The transmission itself can have over 1,000 parts and parts
can be high priced when compared to older models. Front wheel drive and computerized
systems may further complicate the requirements. We keep costs as low as we can, and we'll
advise you of the best source of action. Click Here

- Do you have to keep my car for very long?
Not ordinarily. The usual job is completed in one day.
- My fingers are crossed. What else can I do to prevent transmission problems?
-
Preventive maintenance is the best step to take to avoid costly
repairs. To be ahead of the curve, we recommend that you have your transmission serviced
at least every 12,000 miles. Any malfunction can be best handled early and the proper
maintenance of your transmission will insure that you get the best performance possible.
