How it works

What a transmission replacement includes

A replacement means removing the failed transmission from your vehicle and installing a replacement unit in its place. Not sure yours needs a whole new unit? Many can be saved with a transmission rebuild.

Step by step, from your call to pickup
  • You call the shop and tell us what the car is doing. We book you in.
  • Diagnosis: inspection and testing to find the exact issue, with a written report.
  • Estimate: a detailed quote with no hidden fees. Nothing starts until you approve it.
  • The replacement: the failed unit comes out and the replacement unit goes in.
  • Pickup: your vehicle back, with our 3 years or 36,000 miles warranty on parts and labor.
Recent jobs, in our customers' words

Questions

Transmission replacement questions, answered

Anything not covered here, call the shop on (602) 612-4198.

How much does a transmission replacement cost?

It depends on the vehicle and the replacement unit it needs, so we diagnose it first. You get a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees before any work starts, and once you approve it the quote stays binding unless the repair scope changes. Financing is available for parts and labor.

Do I need a replacement, or can my transmission be rebuilt?

The best option depends on your vehicle's condition. A rebuild is often the most cost-effective choice when the transmission can be saved, and a replacement makes sense when it cannot. After a full inspection, we give clear, honest recommendations so you can choose with confidence.

What kind of replacement transmission do you install?

It depends on the vehicle. We explain the options for yours when we give you your estimate, so you can choose with confidence.

How long does a transmission replacement take?

It depends on the vehicle and the replacement unit. We give you a clear timeline with your estimate, and we always work to get you back on the road promptly.

Do you replace CVT, manual and diesel transmissions?

Yes. We work on all transmission types: automatic, manual, CVT, and diesel and heavy-duty units, on domestic cars, imports, trucks and SUVs.

Is a replacement transmission covered by a warranty?

Yes. Every replacement is covered by our 3 years or 36,000 miles warranty on parts and labor.

What are the signs my transmission needs replacing?

Slipping gears, rough or delayed shifts, and complete transmission failure are the usual warning signs. They do not always mean a replacement, so a diagnosis tells you whether you need a replacement, a rebuild or a smaller repair.
