Yes! All our partner shops in Garland provide warranty coverage. Typical warranty terms: 12-24 months for repairs, 2-3 years for rebuilds, and 1-5 years for replacements depending on whether the unit is used, remanufactured, or new. Always ask about specific warranty details when you receive your quote.

Common warning signs include: slipping gears (engine revs without acceleration), delayed engagement when shifting, harsh or jerky shifting, unusual noises (grinding, whining, clunking), burning smell, fluid leaks (red or brown spots under vehicle), check engine or transmission warning light, and difficulty shifting. Don't ignore these symptoms.

It depends on the damage and your vehicle's value. Minor issues (leaks, solenoid problems) should be repaired. Moderate internal wear with a good case is ideal for rebuild. Severe damage or time constraints favor replacement. For older vehicles, compare repair cost to vehicle value. Our Garland shops can advise the most cost-effective option.

A complete transmission rebuild in Garland typically takes 3-5 business days. This includes removal, complete disassembly, inspection, replacement of all worn parts, reassembly to factory specs, reinstallation, and testing. Complex transmissions or parts delays can extend this timeline. Your shop will provide a specific estimate.

Transmission work requires specialized knowledge, tools, and experience. While general mechanics can handle basic services like fluid changes, internal repairs and rebuilds should be done by transmission specialists. Our Garland partner shops focus on transmissions, ensuring proper diagnosis and lasting repairs.

Garland vehicles face several transmission stressors: extreme Texas heat (accelerates fluid breakdown), heavy highway traffic on I-635 (constant stop-and-go), and towing (common in Texas). Neglected fluid changes, low fluid levels, and manufacturing defects also contribute. Regular maintenance prevents most issues.

It depends on the symptoms. Minor issues like slight delays may allow careful driving to a nearby shop. However, severe slipping, grinding, or warning lights mean you should stop driving and have the vehicle towed. Continued driving can turn a $500 repair into a $4,000 rebuild. When in doubt, call for a tow.
