Beware Of Unethical Transmission Repair Shops
When your transmission starts to give you problems or goes out completely, it is imperative that you get your car to a quality transmission repair shop. The first step in finding one is to get an accurate and fair quote on the costs of labor, parts and repair.
As a rule, never get a quote over the phone but in person. The costs should be outlined in writing and handed to you. This protects you from hidden costs that can be added on later. A phone quote that is not backed up in writing will give you no protection, as the price can easily change once you get to the shop.
When you need a quote, take your car to the shop. One that offers a quality auto repair service will first take the car for a drive to see if the issues are connected to your transmission. If the problem is suspected, the shop will examine the car to see if an outside problem is the cause. If the mechanic finds that no outside variables are the culprit, the transmission then has to be removed, taken part and thoroughly examined to find the problem’s source. The car can also be hooked to a computer and have a diagnostic run to find the problem.
