Transmission repair for Sunrise drivers
Smooth shifts on your commute again, whether you drive a CVT crossover or a traditional automatic. Sunrise drivers split their time between the Sawgrass Expressway and busy traffic around Sawgrass Mills, and GO TIME Auto Repair is east of you on State Road 7 in Plantation. Take Sunrise Boulevard or Oakland Park Boulevard east to State Road 7, then head south past Broward Boulevard to the shop.
Highway miles and shopping traffic
Many Sunrise drivers commute on the Sawgrass Expressway, I-595 or I-75, then crawl through traffic around Sawgrass Mills and on event nights at Amerant Bank Arena. That mix is tough on a transmission. Long runs at speed build heat, and slow traffic means constant shifting. Both wear out the fluid over time.
CVTs are common in newer cars
Many newer sedans, compacts and crossovers use a CVT, a continuously variable transmission that runs on a belt and pulleys instead of fixed gears. CVTs fail differently. Watch for a whine or drone that rises with speed, a shudder or jerk when you pull away from a stop, revs that climb while the car is slow to pick up speed, or a warning light with the car suddenly down on power.
Some CVT problems need only a fluid service with the correct fluid. Others need the unit repaired or replaced. We check it first and tell you in writing which one you are dealing with.
Traditional automatics and manuals too
Not every Sunrise car has a CVT. We diagnose and repair conventional automatics, including solenoids, valve bodies, torque converters and leaks, and we work on manual transmissions and clutches.
Every job gets a written price with photos before we start, and tax only on parts. If a rebuild is the right call, you pick how long it is covered: 90 days, 1 year or 2 years. Texts keep you posted as the car goes from check-in to ready, and the counter speaks English, Spanish and Kreyòl.
Under an extended warranty?
If your car has an extended warranty or service contract, talk to us before you approve work anywhere. Many contracts want the diagnosis reported and approved before the repair starts. We diagnose the car, work with the warranty company on the claim, and tell you in writing what is approved and what you would owe before any work begins.
Getting here from Sunrise
Take Sunrise Boulevard or Oakland Park Boulevard east to State Road 7 (US 441), then head south past Broward Boulevard. We are a few blocks further, on the west side of the road. From the Sawgrass Expressway, you can also take I-595 east to the State Road 7 exit and head north.
