The Heart of Your Vehicle’s Performance
Your transmission is the key to your vehicle running smoothly. It takes on all the power an engine produces to make a car move, so its strength and health are essential to holding everything together so that everything stays healthy. Whether it be a manual transmission you love to feel or an automatic you’re happy to let take over, we’ll get it repaired so that you can rely on it for years to come.
Signs You Need to Repair Your Transmission
Your transmission will let you know with certain signs that it needs attention and care. Below are a couple of the more common signs prompting drivers to bring their cars in for transmission repair.
- When the vehicle changes gears, it’ll seem to struggle, or it will seem to slip too easily.
- You will notice inharmonious noises when the vehicle is changing gears.
- Fluid will be leaking from the transmission area of the vehicle.
If you do hear any of these signs, don’t put it off. Bring the car into Vic’s right away, or you might find that a small problem may end up breeding more significant problems.
Our Transmission Repair Services
Diagnosing your transmission issues:
- The beginning of our process involves asking the driver a series of questions, as their report can lend us key insights before we get started with our analysis.
- Next, we move on to taking a look at the car. We check everything from top to bottom to under the hood, looking at every major or minor component to ensure all is in proper tact.
- The most crucial step when looking at newer models is checking on the diagnostic trouble codes. Our top-notch diagnostic equipment will point out everything the software has discovered, often uncovering the issue before anything must be taken apart or lifted off the ground.
- If the car can drive, we’ll take it on a short road test to see how everything moves or doesn’t move.
- Conducting a fluid pressure test lets us know whether the hydraulic pressure within the transmission is adequately balanced throughout the mechanism.
- The transmission control module is what allows automatic transmissions to know when to switch gears depending on the RPMs and speed. Sometimes, the simple solution can be a software update.
- Conducting a component test involves looking over the solenoids, valves, and sensors. These crucial parts of a transmission system are the building blocks that ensure a transmission can switch gears properly and without having to apply too much strength.
- The last step is coming up with a diagnosis and devising a repair plan. We’ll give you the whole rundown of our plan and make sure you’re comfortable with all the necessary services and repairs that need to be made.
