Why should someone choose you over the competition?
We believe that getting the best value for your dollar is the most important part of any repair. We use only the highest quality parts available. We honor all extended warranties.
How do you advise customers when it comes to the question of repair, rebuild or replace?
Making the decision to repair, rebuild or replace depends on the age of the vehicle and the damage done to the transmission. We discuss the options with the customer, helping them to make the decision which is best for them.
How much do you charge (approximately) to have a transmission repaired?
The costs of a repair is based on the vehicle’s age and model. The costs can vary between $1400 to $3,000 depending on which parts need replaced. We do offer to replace the unit with a used one, but this could become costly for the customer due to the uncertainty of the used unit having the same problems as the one being replaced.
Please give me a quick summary of the steps in the process of getting a car repaired at your shop.
The customer would meet with the Service Manager and check in the vehicle. The vehicle is put thru a 21-point inspection and scan, then road tested. Next is the transmission removal, rebuild, and reinstall. Once filled with fluid, it is then road tested again.
Do you offer warranties/guarantees on your work?
We offer the standard 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor. We also offer a 2 year/24,000 and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty for an additional cost.
In your experience, what is the most common cause of transmission problems?
Not keeping fluid levels up, overheating, and high mileage are most of the contributing factors for transmission failure.
Do you recommend flushing or changing the fluid?
Most manufactures request that flushing be done every 30,000 miles to ensure the proper lubrication of all the inner components, we agree with this.
What make and model do you see the most in your shop?
We don’t see a lot of one certain make or model, we see vehicles that are of high miles which have not had the proper maintenance. Part of our maintenance plans for customers helps them to remember to take care of their vehicle.
What problem is most commonly assumed to be a transmission issue, when it actually isn’t?
Problems with the engine such as misfire or whining noise. These problems will cause a customer to think that their having transmission problems.
