Transmission repair in Plantation

Your car shifts right again, and you pay for the part that failed, not a whole transmission. Plenty of transmission problems come down to one solenoid, a sticking valve body, a tired torque converter or a leak, and each of those can be fixed on its own. We find the failed part first, give you a written price, and tell you straight if we see signs it needs more.

What we do

Transmission repair

  • Find the failed part first with a scan of the engine and transmission computers, a road test and a look on the lift
  • Test and replace solenoids, the electric valves that control shifting, on many cars without taking the transmission out
  • Repair or replace the valve body, the part that sends fluid where it needs to go, when it causes rough or uneven shifts
  • Replace torque converters that shudder, slip or run hot
  • Fix leaks at the pan gasket, seals and cooler lines before low fluid does real damage
  • Repair one worn area inside when the rest of the transmission is healthy
  • Send photos of what we find with the written price, so you see what we see
  • Road test before you pick it up

How the price works

We find the failed part first, then you get a written price for that repair before any work starts. Sales tax is charged on parts only, never on labor. You pick the warranty length, 90 days, 1 year or 2 years, and the price shows your choice.

Questions people ask

Can a solenoid be replaced without taking the transmission out?
On many cars, yes. The solenoids often sit in the valve body, under the transmission pan. On others the job is bigger. We tell you which kind of job your car needs before you approve anything.
What does torque converter shudder feel like?
Like rolling over rumble strips, usually at a steady speed with light gas. Old fluid and other problems can feel the same way, so we test before we replace a converter.
Is a small transmission leak a big deal?
It can turn into one. A slow leak lowers the fluid over time, and low fluid causes slipping and overheating. Fixing the leak early is usually a small job next to the damage that running low can do.
What if a repair is not enough?
We tell you before you spend money on a part that will not last. If the fluid is burnt and full of debris, or the clutches inside are worn out, a new solenoid will not save it. You get the rebuild and replacement options in writing, with photos, and you decide.
How will I know where the job stands?
You get a text at each step: when the car is checked in, when the estimate is sent, when you approve it and when it is ready. If we find something else, you get a photo and a separate price, and no is a normal answer.
