Transmission repair for Hollywood drivers
Get back to steady highway cruising without a shudder, a slip or a surprise on the bill. Hollywood drivers put a lot of miles on I-95, Florida's Turnpike and State Road 7. For many of them, the easiest way to GO TIME Auto Repair is State Road 7 straight north from the Hard Rock to our shop in Plantation. We find the cause first and write the price down before any work.
Commuter miles and highway symptoms
Heavy commutes build heat and wear, even when most of the miles are on the highway. Many commuters notice problems at speed first: a shudder while cruising, a slip when merging, or the engine revving higher than it should.
A shudder at a steady highway speed often points to the torque converter, and sometimes to worn fluid. It can feel like driving over rumble strips. It is worth checking early, because it usually gets worse.
What a diagnosis looks at
We check the fluid level, color and smell, read the stored trouble codes, and look for leaks at the seals, lines and pan. On a road test we watch how the torque converter behaves under load and how each shift feels.
Once we know the cause, you get a written price with photos. It might be a fluid service, a torque converter, a solenoid, a rebuild or a replacement, and we explain which one and why. Tax is on parts only, you pick a warranty of 90 days, 1 year or 2 years, and you can talk it all through at the counter in English, Spanish or Kreyòl.
Manuals and clutches
If you drive a stick, we repair manual transmissions and replace clutches. A clutch that slips, catches high on the pedal or grinds going into gear is worth a look before it leaves you stuck in traffic on Hollywood Boulevard.
Getting here from Hollywood
For many Hollywood drivers, the simplest route is State Road 7 north. From the Seminole Hard Rock it runs straight up to the shop, a few blocks south of Broward Boulevard on the west side of the road. From the east side, Hollywood Boulevard and Sheridan Street both run west to State Road 7.
If you are closer to I-95 or the Turnpike, both connect to I-595, which has an exit at State Road 7. Take the exit and head north.
