As a vehicle owner, maintaining your car’s condition through regular service is similar to getting a wellness checkup for yourself at the doctor. Our skilled transmission mechanics are here to make sure your car runs smoothly, whether you’re visiting for routine maintenance or need a repair. Our mechanics will provide the following services for your transmission:

1. 1. Computer diagnosis. The first step is scanning your car’s computer and the electrical components to check for issues.
   2. External diagnosis. We’ll check the transmission’s exterior for damaged fluid and leaks, take the vehicle for a test drive, and then lift it for a 360° view.
   3. Fluid and filter replacement. Our mechanics will flush the transmission fluid every 15,000 to 60,000 miles, clean the oil pan, and replace the filter.
   4. Transmission adjustment. Next, we’ll replace sensors, fix bad connections, and tune the primary system’s components.
   5. Transmission cooler. We’ll install an external cooler in trucks carrying heavy loads or high-performance vehicles.
   6. Transmission rebuild. At this step, we’ll disassemble the transmission, inspect it for wear and tear, and reassemble it so it’s as good as new.
   7. Replacement transmission. If necessary, we’ll replace the entire transmission without rebuilding the previous one.
   8. Transmission reseal. Also, if required, we’ll remove the transmission from your car and replace all external seals and other components to stop and prevent leaks.
