Services
Transmissions are the specialty. The same bays handle the everyday repairs that keep a car on the road.
Slipping, harsh shifts or no drive at all get the transmission back to shifting the way it should. Road test, fluid and code check, then a repair or a full rebuild, explained and priced before work starts.
Call about this
Red fluid on the driveway gets stopped before low fluid costs you the transmission. The leak is traced to the seal, pan gasket, cooler line or axle seal it comes from, then fixed at the source.

You find out what the light actually means before any part is replaced. Code scan, then live-data testing to confirm the fault, then a written estimate.

Process

Road test, scan and hands-on inspection to find the actual fault, so the estimate covers the real problem and not the first code that shows.

FAQ
It depends on the vehicle, the transmission and what is worn inside, so there is no honest flat price. You get a diagnosis first and a written estimate before any work starts. Call with the year, make and model and you will get a realistic range to plan around.
Both, depending on the fault. A leaking seal or a failed solenoid is a repair. Worn clutches, burnt fluid and damaged hard parts mean a rebuild. The estimate lays out the options with costs so you can choose what makes sense for the car.
Not for long. Slipping burns the fluid and wears the clutches faster, so a repair can turn into a rebuild. Keep trips short, check the fluid if you can, and call. If it will not go into gear at all, arrange a tow instead.
No. Drop in during shop hours, or call ahead so the right bay is free when you arrive. If you send a text, the shop replies during shop hours to set a time. For a car that cannot be driven, calling is the fastest route.
A road test when the car can be driven, a scan for codes, and a hands-on inspection of the fluid, any leaks and the parts in question. The aim is to find the actual fault, not the first code that shows, before anything gets replaced.
Yes, before work starts. It lists what is wrong, what it takes to put it right and what it costs. Nothing beyond it gets done without your say-so, and anything that can wait is noted separately so you can plan for it.
Cash, check, debit and all major cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club. The written estimate shows the total before the work starts, so the number at pickup is the number you agreed to.
Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, closed Sunday. Times are Central. If you are running late for pickup, call and the shop will tell you what works.
