3 Benefits of Working with a Transmission Repair Specialist
If you need open heart surgery, you aren’t likely to visit a podiatrist. You may consult with your general physician, but you are ultimately going to trust a heart surgeon. They are a specialist who brings specific knowledge and experience to help address your health problem.
We hate to repair automotive repair to something as life-or-death as heart surgery, but it’s a relatable metaphor for the importance of working with a specialist for certain auto care services. Escalon Transmission is proud to be a local transmission repair specialist, serving people throughout the Central Valley and Foothill communities. We specialize in transmission repair and maintenance services.
If you have transmission problems, here are some of the best benefits of working with a transmission repair specialist:
Proper Diagnosis
Just as you might see medical specialists for certain health issues, it can help to see an automotive specialist for specific automotive issues. Most general auto repair shops can handle a wide variety of repairs from bumper to bumper. However, transmissions are very complex. Not every mechanic is skilled at dealing with internal transmission problems. Not every shop has the equipment to properly remove and inspect a transmission, let alone make major internal repairs. Our technicians are specially trained to diagnose and repair transmission issues, and our shop has all the necessary technology and equipment to support these services.
More Repair Options
Because most general auto shops (and even many dealerships) don’t specialize in transmission repairs, they default to one repair solution: replace the transmission. This can be a costly procedure and is not always the best option. A transmission specialist can open up the transmission and identify specific internal problems. They may be able to make targeted repairs to get the transmission working properly again. Some transmission specialty shops (but not all) will also offer transmission rebuild services. This is the case at Escalon Transmission. We have expertise at removing, rebuilding and reinstalling transmissions. If a transmission can be rebuilt, we know what needs to be done. Then, we stand behind our transmission rebuilds with an industry leading 3 Year, 100,000 Mile Warranty program. A skilled transmission service can offer more repair options and help you find the most cost-effective solution for your vehicle.
Peace of Mind
Having a transmission repair specialist work on your vehicle can provide more peace of mind. You know your transmission is in the hands of experts, and a good transmission repair specialist will offer strong warranty programs for certain parts and repair services. You may not feel the same confidence when a general auto shop performs transmission repairs—if they are even willing to work on your transmission at all!
These are just a few reasons why it makes sense to work with a transmission repair specialist if you have significant transmission problems. If you are in the Central Valley area, call Escalon Transmission at (209) 838-0113 for the best transmission services around. Or, book your appointment online.
