Frequently asked repair questions, answers and advice

Do I need a new transmission?
Many times our customers give us feedback on the phone what is happening with their car and sometimes what they tell us is indicative that the problem could be fixed without a whole new transmission. After we get the car into our shop we will diagnose the problem and in many cases minor repairs can be made with certain components such as adding more fluid, replacing the oil cooler thermostat, replacing the drive shaft or shaft yoke, or maybe it is an electrical connection, or the solenoid. We will always give you the exact problem that need addressing if replacing the transmission is not needed. Some shops will just replace your transmission or rebuild your transmission and tell you that it is the best way to go, but that is not always the case and it will cost you a lot more than if you just address the issues that caused the problem. The Lake Worth Transmission Repair Shop often gets second opinion customers and often we find this to be that case where repairs are much less than were originally thought.

How much does transmission repair cost?
You will never pay for repairs that you don't need. many cars and trucks do not need a full rebuild or new transmission. If we need to rebuild or install a new transmission into your car or truck our certified technicians and mechanics identify only the parts that need to be repaired and replaced. Our labor rates are the fairest in the area. So the labor and the cost of parts is all you pay for. We offer free towing and courier service to our shop. The total cost is for labor and parts which depends on the make and model and year of your automobile.

"Check Engine" light on and transmission problems.
Usually when the "check engine" light comes on and stays on and you are also having transmission problems there is a good chance that you have a transmission failure but sometimes it could be another issue that affects the transmission because the entire system is interrelated. Have us diagnose the problem and hopefully we can correct it with minor repairs.

Will I have any extra costs added in during the repair or when it is complete?
There will be no added fees or costs that you did not authorize at The Lake Worth Transmission Repair Shop. When we give you a price we stick to it. We are courteous and fair in our communication throughout the diagnostic check & repair process so you will know of every single cost and have the opportunity to authorize it. Our integrity is extremely important to our business and that is why we have been around for so long and why are so busy!
