Your Trusted Source for Transparent, High-Quality Transmission Service

Your transmission is one of the most important and most complex systems in your vehicle. When it starts acting up, the right diagnosis matters. We take the time to inspect your vehicle fully, explain our findings, and recommend the right path forward.

Transmission Fluid & Filter Service

Routine fluid changes are critical for prolonging the life of your transmission. We drain and refill your fluid, replace the filter if applicable, and inspect for signs of internal wear or contamination. We use OE or high-quality equivalent fluids matched to your vehicle’s specs.

Transmission Pan Gasket Replacement

Leaking fluid is one of the most common issues we see, and often, it comes down to a worn or damaged pan gasket. We replace pan gaskets to stop leaks and reseal your system for long-term performance.

Complete Transmission Replacement

When a rebuild isn’t an option or isn’t cost-effective, we offer full transmission replacement. We’ll walk you through the process, discuss parts sourcing and turnaround time, and ensure everything is installed and tested properly before it leaves the shop.

Transmission Trouble?
Know the Warning Signs

Catching transmission issues early can help you avoid major repairs or breakdowns. Here are some signs it’s time to bring your vehicle in:
  • Delayed or hard shifting 
    Your transmission should shift smoothly; if it hesitates or jolts, it’s a red flag
  • Slipping gears 
    If your vehicle feels like it’s revving without moving, your transmission may be slipping
  • Grinding or shaking during shifts 
    This can indicate worn clutches, fluid problems, or internal damage
  • Fluid leaks 
    Transmission fluid is typically red or pink; any puddles or drips should be inspected
  • Burning smell or overheating 
    Old, degraded fluid or internal friction can cause overheating
  • Check engine light with shifting symptoms 
    Modern vehicles often trigger a light when transmission sensors detect a problem
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic before the issue gets worse. We’ll get you answers quickly, with no pressure.
