Catch it early
Transmission problems are expensive when they are ignored and often manageable when they are caught early. A lot of what feels like a failing transmission turns out to be low or burnt fluid, a sensor, or a software issue.
Signs worth getting checked:
- Slipping, where the engine revs but the car does not accelerate like it should
- Hard, late, or delayed shifts
- A shudder or clunk when shifting
- Red fluid leaking under the car
- A burning smell, or a transmission warning light
Service or repair
Our transmission work falls into two services. Transmission service is maintenance, mainly fluid and filter changes on the schedule your vehicle calls for. Transmission repair is fixing something that has already gone wrong, from leaks and sensors to internal problems.
San Antonio heat and towing are both hard on transmission fluid. If you pull a trailer, drive in stop and go traffic, or have a truck with high miles, it pays to stay ahead of fluid service. Our vehicle diagnostics service reads transmission codes when a warning light comes on.

Questions we hear
Does a slipping transmission always need a rebuild?
No. Low fluid, the wrong fluid, a sensor, or a solenoid can all cause slipping. We check the simple causes first.
How often should transmission fluid be changed?
It varies a lot by vehicle. Check your owner's manual, and use the severe service interval if you tow or drive in heavy traffic and heat.
Can I keep driving with a transmission problem?
Driving on a slipping transmission can turn a small repair into a big one. Get it checked soon.
