Will this transmission repair destroy my life?
Why addressing a transmission-related issue sooner rather than later is crucial for several reasons:

Preventing Further Damage: Transmission problems tend to worsen over time. What may start as a minor issue. Like a small leak or unusual noise, can quickly escalate into a major malfunction if left unattended. But addressing the problem early on, you can prevent it from causing additional damage. As a result saving you time and money in the long run.

  1. Cost Savings: Repairing a transmission problem early typically costs less than waiting until it becomes severe. Furthermore small issues are often easier and less expensive to fix compared to major repairs or full replacements. in comparison. ignoring the problem and allowing it to worsen could lead to more extensive damage.While  resulting in significantly higher repair bills.
  2. Avoiding Breakdowns: A malfunctioning transmission can lead to sudden breakdowns. In addition to leaving you stranded on the side of the road and requiring costly towing services. In other words addressing the issues promptly reduces the risk of unexpected failures. Also ensuring that your vehicle remains reliable and safe to drive.
  3. Maintaining Vehicle Performance: The transmission plays a critical role in the overall performance of your vehicle. Ignoring transmission problems can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, rough shifting, loss of power, and other performance issues.

They sooner you catch an issue, usually its cheaper on the repair cost. I hear it so many times “3 weeks ago I felt this weird bump” and here we are with a severely damaged transmission, costing thousands of dollars. 

The average transmission rebuild start at $1,500 and can go over $6,000. The more damage you do to it and the more parts we have to put in it, raises the cost. Where as a Dealer will assume all the parts are bad and charge you for every part in the transmission. Not every part in the transmission is a wearable part. For example the transmission case. It doesn’t wear, its there to hold all the components together. But the dealer will charge you for one, WHY? if your case is bad, they want to be paid for it. If its not bad, its added profit for the dealer. Where is with us , if your case isn’t bad we don’t charge your for it. Which means added SAVINGS to you. In general we are usually half the cost of what a dealer will quote you.
