FAQ's

  • How often should I have my transmission fluid checked?

    We recommend a transmission fluid check at least once a year. Regular inspections help identify leaks or fluid degradation early, preventing costly internal damage and ensuring smooth gear shifts.
  • What are the signs that my transmission might be failing?

    Common warning signs include slipping gears, unusual grinding noises, a burning smell, or a delay when shifting into drive or reverse. If your check engine light is on, it’s best to have a diagnostic performed immediately.
  • Do you offer more than just transmission repairs?

    Yes! While we are transmission experts, we provide Total Car Care. This includes brake repairs, engine diagnostics, oil changes, climate control service, and suspension work to keep your entire vehicle running safely.
  • Is it safe to drive with a "Check Engine" light on?

    A check engine light can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a serious transmission or engine issue. To avoid getting stranded or causing further damage, you should have the code scanned by a professional as soon as possible.
  • What is the difference between a transmission flush and a fluid change?

    A fluid change replaces the oil in the pan and the filter, while a flush uses specialized equipment to replace nearly 100% of the old fluid throughout the entire system, including the torque converter and cooler lines.
  • How often should I get my brakes inspected?

    Most manufacturers recommend a brake inspection every 6 months or 6,000 miles. However, if you hear squealing, feel pulsations in the pedal, or notice increased stopping distances, you should have them checked right away.
  • Can a faulty sensor cause transmission shifting problems?

    Absolutely. Modern transmissions are highly electronic. A malfunctioning sensor or a bad wiring connection can send incorrect signals to the computer, causing shifting issues that might not require a full rebuild.
  • Does regular maintenance help my fuel economy?

    Yes. Services like replacing dirty air filters, ensuring proper tire alignment, and maintaining clean engine and transmission fluids reduce internal friction and help your vehicle operate at peak fuel efficiency.
  • What is included in a multi-point vehicle inspection?

    Our comprehensive check covers all major systems, including fluid levels, belts and hoses, brake condition, battery health, and steering components to ensure there are no hidden safety or performance issues.
  • Why is my car making a clicking noise when I turn?

    A clicking noise during sharp turns often indicates a worn CV (constant velocity) axle or joint. This is a standard repair that should be addressed quickly to prevent the axle from failing entirely while driving.
