Frequently asked questions

With 20 years of experience in building transmissions and repairing automobiles, we've heard it all. We pride ourselves on using high-quality parts and delivering exceptional service. Here are some of the most common questions and concerns our customers have.

Should I get a transmission flush if it's acting up?
Never do a fluid exchange or flush on a higher mileage vehicle. The cleaning detergents in the new fluid will move friction material out of nooks and crannies, making valves stick worse.

Does a transmission burn fluid and get low?
The only way a transmission can ever be low on fluid is if it has a leak somewhere. Transmissions do not burn fluid.

Is it worth it to get a transmission rebuilt?
It is absolutely worth having a bad transmission rebuilt. If you buy a used unit, it could be bad already or go bad very quickly. Just getting rid of the vehicle and buying another used vehicle could leave you with a bad transmission in that vehicle as well.

What about common myths in car repair?
A common myth is that a transmission flush or fluid exchange is always a good idea. However, it's not recommended for higher mileage vehicles as it can cause more issues.

What if I buy a used transmission?
While it might seem like a cheaper option, a used transmission comes with significant risks. It could fail shortly after installation, costing you more in the long run.

Why choose rebuilding over replacement?
Rebuilding your transmission with quality parts ensures a reliable, long-lasting solution tailored to your vehicle, often providing better value than an unknown used unit.

Can I prevent transmission problems?
Regular maintenance, checking for leaks, and addressing small issues promptly can help prevent major transmission problems down the road.
