Transmission Service & Repair
Transmission fluid service, diagnosis and repair in Lakewood for automatics and manuals.
The transmission sends engine power to the wheels. Healthy fluid and early attention to problems can head off a bigger repair.
We work on transmissions in every make, and we diagnose before repairing so you know the real problem.
Signs of a transmission problem
- Harsh, delayed or slipping shifts
- Engine speed climbs but the vehicle doesn’t pick up speed
- Red or brown fluid under the vehicle
- A burning smell
- Grinding, whining or clunking noises
- The check engine or transmission warning light is on
What’s included
- Transmission fluid level and condition check
- Fluid and filter service where specified
- Leak inspection and repair
- Shift-quality diagnosis and road test
- Transmission control diagnostics and software checks
- Repair or replacement recommendations
What will it cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle and what the inspection turns up. You get the options and an estimate first, and nothing is done until you approve it.
What happens during your visit
Check
First we look at the fluid: how much is there, what shape it’s in, and whether anything is leaking.
Diagnose
Scan data and a drive help separate shifting, electronic and mechanical faults.
Explain
We go over what we found and the choices, whether that’s a fluid service or a repair.
Service
Once you approve, we do the work and drive it again to confirm.
How often should transmission fluid be serviced?
It depends heavily on the vehicle and how it’s driven. Check your owner’s manual, and we can look at the fluid next time you’re in.
Is a slipping transmission always a major repair?
Not always. Low fluid, a leak or an electronic problem can feel the same. Diagnosis tells you what the transmission actually needs.
Do you work on manual transmissions and clutches?
Yes, both automatics and manuals. Call to talk about your vehicle.
