Explore Our Transmission Repair Services

Your transmission sends power from the engine to the wheels, and it works harder than most drivers realize, especially in the Kanawha Valley’s hills. Our technicians start by diagnosing exactly what’s going on, then recommend the repair or maintenance that fits. Our transmission services include:

  • Transmission diagnostics and inspection

  • Transmission fluid changes

  • Transmission repair

Every visit can include a multi-point vehicle inspection with a color-coded report, so you see what needs attention now, what can wait, and what looks good.

Know When Your Transmission Needs Service

Transmissions usually let you know when something has changed. Paying attention to a few signs helps you plan service at a time that works for you.

You may notice a delay when shifting into drive or reverse, gears that slip or shift harder than usual, or a grinding or clunking sound. A burning smell, a red fluid spot under the vehicle, or a check engine light are other good reasons to stop by for an inspection.

Driving habits play a role, too. Towing a camper, hauling a full truck bed up South Charleston’s hills, or daily stop-and-go commuting all add heat and wear, so trucks like the Silverado 1500 that do regular work benefit from a closer look.

FAQs

How often should I service my transmission?

Transmission fluid breaks down with heat and use, so changing it on schedule protects the gears inside. AAA suggests every 60,000 to 100,000 miles for automatics, sooner with frequent towing or mountain driving.*

What does transmission fluid do?

Transmission fluid lubricates moving parts, helps keep the transmission cool, and allows gears to shift smoothly. Keeping it at the right level and condition supports long-term performance.

Can I drive with a transmission fluid leak?

A small leak is a good reason to schedule an inspection soon. Low fluid can affect how your transmission shifts, and our technicians can find the source and recommend the right repair.
