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.

Brought in my 2014 F-150 with a transmission concern. Kris and the team were upfront about what was needed and what wasn't, and completed the repair cleanly and professionally. After 30+ days of varied driving including cold starts and extended sits, pulling trailer, city driving, the truck is shifting perfectly. Honest shop, fair price, no unnecessary upsells. Highly recommend Kris and the team at Mister Transmission. There is a reason this shop is so busy!

3 tries to get an appointment (Automated booking cannot be trusted, the next booking was rescheduled due to parts not in on time). I went to my dealership for another matter and asked about parts for MrT. They arrived the week before but nothing was ordered specifically for me. When I called MrT, Sara said she meant to call last week but got busy. She didn’t call me the next business day either so I recommend you call them to keep on top of things:) Other than that, service was good, fluid and filter changed, pan inspected. I dropped off my vehicle night before and it was ready after lunch the next day.

Best experience I've had in a shop in a long time, they were incredibly nice, explained to me the problem (worn cable, something was seized), and had my car in and out in a half hour. Absolutely incredible service, I will be telling anyone and everyone who needs transmission work to go to this Mr Transmission.

We broke down in the Sault as we were traveling through -We were stranded! Mr. Transmission moved some things around to get us in. He ended up staying late on a Friday and coming in on a saturday so we would be able to head home. Great service, excellent communication and overall great place.
