Transmission Service Questions and Answers:

Transmission service can cause anxiety for most people. That’s because a transmission repair usually means you’re probably going to be required to spend a lot of money for a problem that you don’t understand.

Here are answers to two common questions about transmission service…

Why does transmission repair cost so much?

If you consider the nature of a transmission repair, the cost can be considered reasonable. Automatic transmissions consist of thousands of individual components. During a major repair, each one is removed, cleaned, and inspected to exacting tolerances. Worn or damaged parts are repaired or replaced, put together into one of many subassemblies, adjusted, and then tested for proper operation. The subassemblies are then reassembled into the transmission case, where the adjustment and testing procedure begins all over again. Finally, it is reinstalled into the vehicle.

Why can’t I get a price over the phone?

There are many types of transmissions, each having several different variations or calibrations, with as many as a dozen modifications that may be necessary. Because of computer technology, there’s a good chance that the root cause of the problem doesn’t have anything to do with the transmission. To provide you with an accurate assessment and give you an honest estimate for transmission service, technicians must perform a series of rigorous tests. They must identify the type in your car, identify the specific problem, and isolate whether it’s in the transmission, the computer system, or engine. The mechanic then has the information he needs to give you a diagnosis of your car’s condition, and put together an accurate cost estimate for a transmission repair.
