Repair, Rebuild, or Replace?
Transmission Repair
For isolated issues like a leaking seal, faulty solenoid, or worn clutch. We fix the specific problem without tearing down the entire transmission. The most affordable option when the issue is contained.
Best for: Minor to moderate issues
Transmission Rebuild
We disassemble the transmission, inspect every component, replace all worn parts, and reassemble to factory specs. Essentially a like-new transmission using your existing housing. More affordable than full replacement.
Best for: Major wear, multiple failing components
Transmission Replacement
When a rebuild isn't cost-effective, we install a remanufactured or quality used transmission. We'll help you weigh the cost against your vehicle's value so you make the right decision.
