Local Automotive Transmission Repair Akron

Automotive Transmission Repair

Before we recommend a remanufactured or rebuilt transmission we take the time to inspect your transmission problem to see if it can be fixed with simple adjustments or by replacing a specific transmission component that has gone bad.

 

For example: If a solenoid failed or an input shaft broke. We will replace these parts saving you the cost of getting a new (remanufactured) or rebuilt transmission installed.

 

We offer repairs on automatic transmissions or standard transmissions for most makes and models of cars and light trucks.


Local Remanufactured Transmissions or Rebuilt Transmisions Akron

Remanufactured or Rebuilt Transmissions

When it comes to major transmission problems you have a choice between a rebuilt transmission or a remanufactured transmission. Understanding what each of these are is important to consider when getting transmission service.

 

Rebuilt transmission - Can be referred to as a refurbished, reconditioned, or overhauled transmission. Basically our certified mechanics remove your vehicle's transmission. Disassemble and inspect it. Replace worn or damaged parts. Then reassemble to factory specifications with new seals, gaskets, clutches, and bands. Once "rebuilt" we reinstall and test for the quality of the repair.

 

Remanufactured transmission - Can be referred to as a reman transmission. Generally these are the same as rebuilt transmissions except that the work is performed by a 3rd-party, in a factory setting, by skilled specialists of that particular brand of vehicle. The transmission is tested on a dynamometer before packaged up and ready to ship. We take the remanufactured transmission and install it in your vehicle.

 

Keep in mind that your particular situation - the type of car/truck, the type of transmission failure, the amount of mileage, etc. - will determine which option is right for you.
