Expert Transmission Service
A failing transmission can put your entire vehicle at risk. At Kwik Kar Automotive Lube & Services, we provide professional transmission repair and replacement services so you can drive with confidence.
Why Transmission Repair Matters
Your transmission transfers power from your engine to your wheels, helping your car shift smoothly and efficiently. When it starts to fail, you’ll notice issues with acceleration, strange noises, or even total power loss. Ignoring early signs can lead to more expensive repairs—or the need for a full transmission replacement.

FAQs about transmission services
How often should you change transmission fluid?
Transmission fluid should be changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, which can vary from every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. A general rule of thumb is that transmission fluid should be changed at least every 50,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first.
How to know if your transmission is bad?
Signs your transmission is bad include difficulty shifting gears, grinding noises when changing gears, increased harshness and vibrations when the vehicle shifts, unexpected slipping out of gear, and a burning smell during vehicle operation.
How much does it cost to repair a transmission?
The average transmission repair ranges in cost between $300 and $1,400.
How long does it usually take to repair a transmission?
If only minor repairs are needed and the transmission is in otherwise decent condition, it could take as little as 4-6 hours.
However more extensive repairs such as a transmission rebuild can take significantly longer; up to 20 or even 30 hours for vehicles with complicated engine and transmission systems.
