4 Things a Transmission Shop Can Do for You

Transmission shops look after your transmission to ensure it runs as efficiently and for as long as possible. But why do you need a whole shop dedicated to the transmission? What are some things a transmission shop can do for you?

1. Transmission Shops Provide Routine Transmission Maintenance And Service.

Transmissions, like other parts of your vehicle, require regular checkups and maintenance to ensure they are running properly. Unfortunately, there’s not much you yourself can do in this respect apart from routinely checking your transmission fluid levels with your dipstick. Transmissions are really complicated and there’s just too much to know for the average person to be expected to conduct their own transmission maintenance. Not to mention, only a fraction of the transmission’s parts are accessible while the transmission is still in the vehicle.

2. Transmission Shops Conduct Transmission Repairs When Necessary.

When something is wrong with your transmission, you need to repair it. Pretty straightforward, but the repairs themselves rarely are. Do you know how to flush out and replace your transmission fluid? Do you know how to replace a defective solenoid pack? Do you know how to remove your transmission from the chassis of your vehicle and inspect it for damaged parts?

Probably not, and why should you? It’s not your job to know. You have your own job that you know all about and your own duties and obligations. And the last thing you need in your busy life is a transmission problem. So bring your transmission into a transmission shop for a speedy and effective repair so you can get back to your life.

3. Transmission Shops Have Diagnostic Equipment To Discover And Pinpoint Transmission Problems.

How can transmission shops tell if you need a transmission repair? Some problems are obvious, but many aren’t. Diagnosis often requires specialized equipment. For example, most transmissions are built these days to work with the vehicle’s on-board computer. Transmission shops have special devices and software they use to interface with the on-board computer to diagnose problems. There are also more classic procedures, such as a road test. Both of these can be part of Mister Transmission’s comprehensive Multi Check Inspection that is guaranteed to discover any transmission problems.

4. Some Specialized Vehicles Have Specialized Transmissions. Transmission Shops Can Service These Transmissions, Too.

Automobiles such as muscle cars, race vehicles, and custom hot rods often have customized transmissions that require custom parts. The experts at transmission shops can figure out which part works best for your high-performance transmission and can get it for you.

Had my check engine light...
Devdutt Mistry
Had my check engine light on for a few weeks and finally decided to get it checked out. Since I only have one car, I really couldn’t afford to leave it at a shop for days. After calling around to a few places, no one was willing to even run diagnostics the same day. I called Mister Transmission in Maple Ridge and spoke with the owner, Sunny. After I explained my situation, he was very understanding and offered to at least run a quick diagnostic while I waited, so I could decide whether to leave the car or come back another day. When I arrived, Kyle greeted me and immediately got the car in for testing. He was polite and professional, walked me through the diagnostic results, and showed me the two main error codes — one related to the Mass Air Flow Sensor and another to the Battery Temperature Sensor. They didn’t have the battery temperature sensor in stock for my Nissan Sentra, but Kyle took the time to call around to different parts stores to find pricing and availability. Since the part couldn’t be sourced that same day, he even suggested a simple DIY cleaning of Temperature and Mass Air Flow Sensor so I could try it myself instead of paying for something unnecessary. There was absolutely no pressure to leave the car or agree to any extra repairs. Kyle even topped up the air in all my tires before I left and didn’t charge me for the diagnostics. Overall, both Sunny and Kyle came across as knowledgeable, honest, and respectful of my time. I’ll definitely be returning here when the part comes in or for any future work on my car.

Gurpiar SIDHU
They did a great job working with my car, and make it ready as quickly as possible. And at the same time, they provide me the loaner car. And fix the in a timely manner. Transmission is working great after the rebuild, and the good thing is that they cover nation wide for the warranty. Kyle and the other team members really understand the issue and make it really worth it for me. Highly recommended to everyone. Thanks again for your honest advice and service.
