Why Does It Cost So Much To Have My Transmission Repaired?

It doesn't. At least, not when you understand what we need to do to repair your transmission.

You see, repairing a transmission is not as simple as changing the spark plugs, or adjusting your carburetor. Today's transmissions - particularly those with Front Wheen Drive technology or computerized systems - are extremely complicated units.

There are over 3,000 parts in todays average automatic transmission. And the parts for some late model import cars can cost ten times as much as parts for older, larger cars.

Just getting to the parts you need to see to find out what's wrong often calls for major surgery - especially in smaller cars where the manufacturer has tightly packed different mechanical systems on top of, and around, each other.

With such complex units, preventive maintenance is the key to keeping repair costs down. To help head off major problems, we recommend you have your transmission serviced at lest every 30,000 - 40,000 Miles.
