Change and repair of transmissions

When your vehicle stops working properly and you notice something is wrong, the most frustrating part is figuring out what happened and deciding whether you need to rebuild or replace the transmission. Knowing the difference can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be.

Once you’ve come to the conclusion that it’s actually the transmission that needs to be repaired, this can lead to a whole new set of conclusions that can be drawn. You need a trusted auto repair shop that knows how to properly diagnose what has gone wrong.

At The Chinos we know how to correctly diagnose what the problem really is and how to fix it the right way is ideal. There are actually three different options when it comes to getting your transmission back in good working order: at The Chinos we present you with the right option for your particular problem.

Transmission Fix Options

The first option to fixing a transmission is to have it “repaired.” Having the option to do a repair is less likely because it can’t be done if the parts that are going bad have caused too much damage.

When repairing a transmission you are basically replacing the minimum amount of parts so that the transmission is brought back to good working condition. This typically costs less, so it is smart to get the right diagnosis of your transmission the first time around.

The next option is to have your transmission “replaced.” This means that you will completely replace the entire transmission and this can be very costly. There are some downfalls to choosing this option.

The last option is having your transmission “rebuilt.” This means that the parts that are completely worn out will be rebuilt one by one and may not cost as much as a complete replace.
