What Is Included in Our Free Transmission Diagnostic?

Transmission problems are not always easy to identify. A shifting issue could be caused by various things — an electrical problem, a sensor, low or contaminated fluid, a linkage issue, or internal transmission damage. That is why we look at the vehicle before we recommend a repair.

Our free inspection may include:

• Computer diagnostics: We scan the vehicle’s computer system for relevant transmission codes and electronic issues, using advanced equipment not found in local auto parts stores.
• Transmission fluid check: We check fluid level and condition when applicable to help identify potential fluid-related problems.
• External inspection: We carefully inspect accessible components underneath the vehicle, including linkages, cables, wiring, mounts, axles, and related connections.
• Symptom review: We discuss what you have noticed, when the problem happens, and your vehicle’s maintenance history.
• Repair recommendations: We explain our findings and discuss the next steps, along with options (if any) before you make a decision.

The exact vehicle checks depend on your vehicle and symptoms you tell us about. Some problems require additional testing to confirm the cause, but we will explain what is needed before proceeding.

Best of all, the initial transmission inspection is free. If additional diagnostic work or repairs are needed beyond the free inspection, we will explain the situation and any charges before moving forward.

Signs You Should Get Your Transmission Checked

Do not wait for your vehicle to stop moving before getting it checked. If you notice any of these warning signs, a free transmission diagnostic is always a good place to start.

• Slipping gears: The engine revs, but your vehicle does not accelerate as expected.
• Hard or delayed shifting: Your vehicle hesitates or shifts roughly between gears.
• Jerking or shuddering: You feel a jolt or vibration when accelerating or changing gears.
• Transmission fluid leaks: You notice reddish, brown, or otherwise unusual fluid under your vehicle in your driveway or garage.
• Unusual noises: Whining, grinding, humming, or clunking sounds occur while driving or shifting.
• Warning lights: Your check engine light or a transmission-related warning appears.
• Delayed engagement: Your vehicle takes longer than normal to move after shifting into Drive or Reverse.

These symptoms can have more than one cause. A proper inspection helps determine whether the issue involves the transmission or another vehicle system.
