Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can you tell me how much it will cost to overhaul my transmission?
A.) When it comes to pricing a transmission repair or rebuild, there are several factors that need to be investigated to determine the specific cause of your transmission problem. We offer to all our customers our free External Transmission Diagnostic Service, which will help to identify what type of problem may exist, and what would be the best and most cost effective solution for the repair of your automatic or standard transmission problem.
We will road test your vehicle for any drivability issues, and we will check your electronically controlled transmission for any diagnostic trouble codes that may be in your vehicle's computer memory. Many transmissions can be fixed without a rebuild or overhaul. Just as a doctor cannot diagnose a patient over the phone, it is impossible for us to diagnose your transmission problems without an indepth examination. To better understand your transmission’s problems and to provide you with a comprehensive and accurate estimate, we invite you to bring in your car for a FREE Diagnosis.
Q.) In addition to a specific problem with my car, I was told I needed several other services and repairs by another shop/dealership... Since the estimate was quite high, how do I know if I really need everything they said?
A.) We are happy to give you an unbiased second opinion for free. We can double check any recommended maintenance services based on your vehicle’s mileage. We provide you with our own comprehensive estimate based on our trained technician’s completed inspection of your vehicle. Our estimate is designed to help you make the right repair choices. Each recommended repair or service is prioritized; we will always tell you what is necessary to fix your initial problem and/or prevent any major safety issues. Realizing that most people don’t live on an unlimited budget, we’ll also let you know the services or repairs you can safely postpone. We will never pressure you into making an on-the-spot decision. Feel free to ask many questions and to compare our estimate against the one you have.
Q.) Why do I need to service my automatic transmission?
A.) As your vehicle accumulates miles, your fluid in your automatic transmission begins to deteriorate with heat, contaminants, and oxidation. The fluid's deterioration will reduce the efficiency of the unit as well as shorten its useful life. Transmission failure is very costly and Routine Maintenance is the best way to prevent that from happening. Eagle Transmission recommends servicing your transmission fluid every 20,000 miles.
Q.) Why does my check engine light come on?
A.) There are many reasons why your check engine light will come on. It could be as simple as a loose gas cap or a dirty air filter. The check engine light has come on when a registered trouble code has been recorded to your car's internal computer. Most general repair facilities charge a fee (sometimes up to $100) for this service - Our location offers a FREE Diagnosis!
