Having transmission problems can be time consuming, stressful, and if not well informed, costly. Through this process, making sure you get the right diagnosis can be a game changer. Adding to that, knowing all your options can help determine what route you want to take that fits your needs and your budget. When looking into repairing your transmission, there are two options you will come across: rebuilding your transmission or getting a remanufactured transmission in your car.  Although they may sound similar, they are not the same thing. Not sure what those differences are? Let’s break them down and see what is better for your situation.

Go Easy on the Brakes

Your transmission is forced to work harder when your foot is kept on the brake pedal, and that can and will cause issues over time. Be wary of how often you brake, and when possible, consider down shifting.

Regular brake system maintenance is recommended to ensure your vehicle’s brake system responds properly every time you step on the brake pedal. We offer preventative maintenance to our customers to make certain they never have to face expensive brake repairs. When you bring your car, truck, or SUV into our shop for a brake inspection and maintenance visit, we’ll check the

• Brake pads to make certain they aren’t worn down too much
• Brake fluid to ensure it isn’t leaking or dirty
• Brake hoses and master cylinder for brake fluid leaks
• Brake calipers, discs, drums, and rotors for warps and wear
• Wheel cylinders to make sure they’re okay
• Parking brake and brake pedal for engagement

If anything needs to be replaced, such as the brake pads which, on average, last anywhere from 25,000 to 65,000 miles depending on their quality and your braking habits, we’ll replace it. This avoids one part from harming another part and this domino effect can get pretty expensive if you ignore it. A brake pad replacement can turn into a $500-plus service visit if the pads have damaged the rotors.
