Maintain It. Or Rebuild It.

Some transmission problems can be fixed with proper service and early repairs. Others are caused by internal wear that requires a rebuild or replacement. We look at the condition honestly and tell you which option makes sense before work begins. For diesel truck transmission work, see our diesel transmission service page.

Common Questions

How do I know if my transmission needs service or a rebuild?
Slipping under load, harsh or delayed shifts, burnt-smelling fluid, or fault codes from the TCM usually mean internal damage. Service can save a transmission that has only been neglected. Rebuild or replace is the answer once internals are worn. We scan, sample the fluid, and road test under load before quoting.
Do you service both automatic and manual transmissions?
Yes. We work on automatic transmissions, manual transmissions, dual-clutch units, and transfer cases on passenger vehicles at our Midland shop. Fluid service, clutch and flywheel work, hydraulic repair, sensor and solenoid replacement, and full internal rebuilds are all done in-house.
How long does a transmission rebuild take in Midland, TX?
Most passenger transmission rebuilds run four to eight business days at our Midland shop, depending on the unit and parts availability. We give you a written timeline before any work starts and update it if parts availability changes the schedule.
Can a transmission fluid service fix my shifting problems?
In some cases yes. If internal damage has not occurred, a proper fluid service and relearn procedure can improve shift quality. We check the fluid condition first and tell you honestly whether a service will help or whether the problem requires a rebuild.
Do you diagnose transmission control module problems?
Yes. TCM scanning, live data analysis, electrical testing, and shift adaptation procedures are all part of the diagnostic. Module programming and deeper electrical faults are covered on our electrical and programming page.
Do you use OEM parts for transmission rebuilds?
Yes. OEM parts and friction materials where the repair calls for them, and the best available standard where they do not. The quote shows exactly which parts are OEM and which are alternates before any work begins.
Do you work on diesel truck transmissions?
Yes. For heavy-duty diesel truck transmission work, see our dedicated diesel transmission service page.
