Diagnosis to full rebuild on gas and diesel, automatic and manual. From fluid service to torque converters, valve bodies, and complete tear-downs.
A lot of transmissions that come in for a "rebuild quote" turn out to be a solenoid, a sensor, bad fluid, or a wiring issue. We start every trans job the same way: scan, pressure test, road test with a scan tool connected, and drop the pan if we need to see what's in it. A rebuild is a real option, but it's never the first option.
We work on the common stuff and the oddball stuff. Light duty automatics like the GM 4L60E / 4L80E / 6L80 / 10L80, Ford 4R70W / 6R80 / 10R80, Chrysler 545RFE / 68RFE; heavy-duty like the Allison 1000; manuals like the NV4500 / NV5600, T56, ZF S5 and ZF 6-speeds. Front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, 4WD transfer cases included — same diagnostic method.
Services we do in-house: fluid and filter service (pan drop, not just a flush), full flush exchange, line and cooler work, solenoid and sensor replacement, valve body work, torque converter replacement, external linkage and shift cable work, and full rebuilds — either on the vehicle or on the bench. We keep common fluids on the shelf, and we spec the right fluid for the trans, not a one-size-fits-all.
The symptoms we hear most: slipping between gears, delayed engagement when putting it in drive, flare between shifts, harsh shifts, a shudder on light throttle, no engagement at all, a limp-mode warning light, codes in the P07xx or P08xx range, trans running hot pulling a trailer, or a leak you can't find. Any of those and it's worth a scan before you decide what to spend. Scans are cheap; rebuilds are not.
We don't rebuild CVTs (we can service and diagnose them, but a CVT rebuild belongs at a CVT specialist). We also don't do over-the-road semi transmissions on long-haul trucks — medium-duty and smaller is our wheelhouse. If your trans is outside what we handle, we'll tell you up front and point you to someone who does.
Serving Florence, San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and Coolidge.
Transmissions are one of many things we handle. See the full service list.
Service, repair, replacement — automatic and manual.
Check-engine codes, driveability issues, hard-to-find gremlins.
Tune-ups, injectors, timing, head gaskets, full rebuilds.
Powerstroke, Cummins, Duramax, Isuzu, Cat — any diesel, any size.
Pads, rotors, lines, shocks, struts, alignment-ready work.
Oil, filters, fluids, inspections — keep it running right.
Not a body shop. We don't do collision work, paint, body panels, interior upholstery, or child-seat installations — those take different tools and the right specialist. Need one of those? Ask when you call and we'll point you to someone good.
Get it scanned before anyone talks about a rebuild. Book online — we'll have an honest answer within a day.
Schedule a ServiceIt depends entirely on the transmission. A light-duty automatic rebuild runs lower than a heavy-duty diesel trans or an Allison. We quote only after we've confirmed it actually needs a rebuild — many trans problems turn out to be a solenoid, a sensor, or contaminated fluid, which cost a lot less than a rebuild.
Typically 5 to 10 business days once the trans is out, depending on parts lead time and whether we're rebuilding on the bench or doing an R&R exchange. We give you a realistic timeline before we commit — we don't take a trans apart and then make you wait.
Yes. Clutch replacement, flywheel, pilot and throw-out bearings, slave and master cylinders, shift linkage, and full manual rebuilds. Common units: NV4500, NV5600, T56, ZF S5, ZF 6-speeds, and several others.
Yes — but service means a pan drop and filter, not just a flush. Automatic trans fluid breaks down from heat (AZ doesn't help), and the filter catches debris the magnet doesn't. We recommend service by mileage interval in your owner's manual, or sooner if the vehicle tows or sees heavy duty.
Not necessarily. Dark fluid is a sign of heat and possibly clutch material, but slipping can also come from a stuck solenoid, a worn pressure regulator, or a failing torque converter. The first step is always a scan and a pressure test to find out which.
