TRANSMISSION REPAIR “NOT WHAT YOU THINK”

 In this day and age, especially in this bad economy, the last thing you need is for your transmission to start acting up. The next thing you do not need is a costly repair. Everyone seems to have a misconception that every transmission repair is a costly one. I actually heard a customer say “I know that this is going to be expensive”. He also said “anytime you are quoted a price it’s to be expected that the price will be 20% higher than that which is quoted initially”. That is simply not true. He was also shocked to find out that he is under Florida law allowed upon request to see each and every damaged part. He accounted that upon having a vehicle “repaired” in the past that they couldn’t show him his damaged parts because they had already been thrown away.

We all know you have to go to your doctor's office to be diagnosed. It is not done over the phone. It is impossible to phone shop transmission prices or repair estimates in the same manner, over the phone. Due to the complexity of today's transmissions a vehicle must first be properly and thoroughly diagnosed. Most shops offer an initial free transmission check which should include a road test, external diagnostic check, and a complete computer scan, in order to determine if the vehicle has an electrical malfunction or mechanical problem. Beware of any transmission repair facility that quotes you a price over the phone without first doing a thorough diagnosis of your vehicle's transmission problem. Today's cars, trucks, and SUVs have computer controlled transmissions and many times a computer malfunction will give the impression that there is a transmission problem. Due to the increasing technology in late model vehicles, the transmission repair facility may need to conduct an electrical diagnosis first to eliminate the possiblity of a computer malfunction versus actual transmission damage.
