Transmission repair causes anxiety for most people. That’s because it usually means they’re probably going to be required to spend a lot of money for a problem that they don’t understand.
Here are three common questions and answers about transmission service:
Is transmission service different than transmission repair?
With the newer, more complex transmissions, regularly scheduled service is required to keep them performing at top-notch performance. It consists of changing the fluid, filters, minor adjustments or sometimes reprogramming or updating the computer. This is typically less expensive than transmission repair.
Why does transmission repair cost so much?
When you consider the nature of the repair, the cost is reasonable. Automatics consist of thousands of individual components. During a transmission repair, each one is removed, cleaned, and inspected. Any worn or damaged parts are repaired or replaced, put together into subassemblies, then adjusted and tested for proper operation. The subassemblies must then be assembled into the transmission case, where the adjustment and testing procedure begins all over again. Finally, it has to be reinstalled. All of which boils down to this conclusion: dollar for dollar, a transmission repair is one of the best values around.
Can I get a price quote over the phone?
Today there are more than ten times as many types of transmissions in use than 20 years ago. Many of them have several different variations or calibrations, with as many as a dozen modifications. They are computer controlled, which means the problem may not even have anything to do with the transmission. The problem may stem from a troublesome computer, or be engine related. To provide you with an accurate assessment and give you an honest estimate, technicians must perform a series of rigorous tests. They must know the type, identify the specific problem, and isolate whether it’s in the transmission, the computer system or the engine. Finally, based on a logical diagnostic process, they can determine the likely causes for the problem. The
auto mechanic is then able to give you a more accurate explanation and put together a cost estimate.
