Common questions
Does the Vegas heat hurt my transmission?
Yes — heat is a transmission's worst enemy. Transmission fluid breaks down faster in high temperatures, and summer traffic or towing in 110-degree weather pushes it hard. Regular fluid service is the cheapest transmission insurance there is.
Is it worth repairing my engine or transmission, or should I replace the car?
It depends on the car and the repair, and we'll give you an honest answer either way. Often a solid repair on a paid-off car beats years of car payments. Sometimes it doesn't. We'll lay out the numbers and let you decide — no pressure.
What are the early signs of transmission trouble?
Slipping between gears, delayed engagement when you shift into drive, rough shifts, or a burnt smell from the fluid. Catch it early and it might be a service; ignore it and it becomes a rebuild. If any of that sounds familiar, come see us sooner rather than later.
