REPAIR DECISIONS · STOCKBRIDGE, GEORGIA
There is no one right answer for every vehicle. We start with the concern and inspection findings, then explain whether a targeted repair, rebuild or replacement is worth considering and what the work involves.
START WITH THE FINDINGS
Slipping, shuddering or delayed shifting does not tell us, by itself, which part has failed. A fluid service or torque converter replacement is not a universal fix for internal transmission wear. We evaluate the concern before recommending maintenance, a targeted repair, rebuilding or replacement.
If your vehicle loses drive, leaks heavily or feels unsafe, stop driving and call us about the next step. Continuing to drive may cause further damage.
See what transmission diagnosis involves →WHICH OPTION MAY FIT?
A transmission problem may call for a repair, a rebuild, or a replacement. Here is what each option means. We can help you choose after we inspect your vehicle.
REPAIR
A targeted repair addresses a specific fault in the transmission or a related system. It may involve repairing or replacing the affected part while keeping the existing transmission in service.
Learn about transmission repair →REBUILD
We remove and disassemble the transmission so its internal parts can be inspected. Worn or damaged areas are repaired or replaced as needed, then the unit is reassembled, reinstalled and tested.
Learn about transmission rebuilds →REPLACEMENT
We remove the current unit and install another transmission assembly. Depending on the vehicle and availability, the replacement may be remanufactured or used; the unit’s condition and warranty depend on its source.
Learn about transmission replacement →Not sure which one you need? Call us or book a visit. We’ll look at the problem and talk through the options with you.
COMPARE THE WORK
We help you consider the transmission's condition, how you use the vehicle and how long you plan to keep it. A rebuild or replacement is not automatically the right answer for every concern.
Compare the service scope, removal and installation, vehicle-specific fluid and any required setup or programming.
Review covered components, time and mileage limits, exclusions and required follow-up. Assembly coverage and removal-and-reinstallation labor may differ.
Inspection findings, the work involved and parts or assembly availability affect timing.
If we find a leaking engine rear main seal while the transmission is removed, we can explain why addressing it at that time may avoid repeating the removal work later.
KNOW YOUR COVERAGE
Qualifying rebuilds have a limited 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first. Extended warranty options are available, including 24 months / 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. Ask about the available coverage for your rebuild.
Replacement coverage depends on the selected assembly and supplier arrangement. Your selected warranty, covered work, exclusions, customer responsibilities and required follow-up are governed by your written warranty terms and invoice.
Read the full warranty terms →No. Rebuilding works with your existing unit. A remanufactured replacement is another assembly rebuilt by a supplier to that supplier's specifications. Compare the quoted scope and written coverage for each option.
That depends on the cause. A fluid service does not repair worn internal components. Diagnosis helps establish whether maintenance, a targeted repair, a rebuild or replacement is appropriate.
No. Some concerns can be addressed with a targeted repair or appropriate maintenance. We explain what the evaluation shows and the options available for your vehicle.
Have the vehicle year, make, model, mileage and a clear description of the symptoms ready. Let us know when the concern happens and whether the vehicle has had recent transmission work.
