FAQ
For Transmissions
we will read your vehicles
computer with our
state of the art diagnostic
scanner. This will allow us to
see any trouble codes (alerts
your computer gives for issues)
On many vehicles we are also
able to make sure that your
transmission is being given all
the commands it needs to
function. The condition of your
transmissions fluid is then
checked for the proper level and
signs of internal wear. We will
road test your vehicle (if able)
to observe the issue and the
conditions under which it
occurs. Your vehicle is then
raised on a lift for a underbody
inspection, looking for signs of
leaks, broken linkage or cables,
if necessary pressure testing
and a pan inspection will be
done.
For general repair
a thorough inspection is
done on all systems related to
the complaint. If necessary and
able the vehicle will be road
tested and inspected on a
lift.
The
transmission is removed from the
vehicle, disassembled and all
parts are toughly inspected for
wear or damage. The case is then
cleaned and all mated surfaces
are machined. The transmission
is then reassembled, replacing
any worn or damaged parts, new
bearings, seals and wearable
items, if any updates are needed
to fix known issues they will be
done at this point. Once the
transmission is rebuilt it is
reinstalled in the vehicle. If
the computer needs to be
re-flashed, or re-learn it is
done at this point. It is then
road tested, put on a lift to
check for leaks then taken on a
more extensive road test where
the vehicle is brought up to
highway speeds to ensure proper
function. It is then thoroughly
inspected on a lift again for
leaks; and to make sure all the
linkage, cables and mounts are
correct.
The
check engine light, also known
as a service engine soon light
can be your first alert to a
developing problem. It can also
be something as simple as a
loose gas cap. If your check
engine light comes on take your
vehicle to a competent
technician as soon as possible.
They will scan it to get an idea
of what the issue could be and
if it’s something simple or more
serious that needs immediate
attention.
