When I dropped my 2005 Dodge truck off yesterday, I was given a quote on services that I thought would include repairs. When I heard back from them, I learned the charges were only for the diagnosis of the problem. My husband and I went in to talk it over with them this morning and Zach and his team were very good to work with us. They remained civil and courteous as I explained the misunderstanding. Instead of charging me full price for the diagnosis, they cut it by more than half. I'm grateful for the way they handled my complaint and impressed by the way they were willing to negotiate terms of payment with me. They take a very professional approach in their services, but I wish they'd been more clear that the estimate was only to cover a diagnosis, not the repair.

Sarah Sanchez

This is a difficult car with several problems resulting from age, wear and design. The guys at ACE have dug down and diagnosed and repaired several problems. I have also paid for the diagnostic. Then I could repair myself. They are professional, even with the grungiest engines.

I have never taken any of my vehicles to a mechanic shop before. I usually fix them myself, but due to my busy schedule, I haven’t had the time or energy at the end of the day to work on cars. I found Ace Auto Repair online and read the great reviews. Zach was great to work with. He kept me updated every step of the way on my vehicle. His prices was very fair and reasonable, believe me, I know. I will always take my vehicles to Ace Auto Repair, no two ways about it!Thank you to Zach and your team for a job well done!

These guys are great they fixed my AC in no time at all. I love they are never pushy.

Heidi Atkinson

05:45 18 Aug 25

These guys are awesome! It is so difficult to find a auto repair shop that you can trust! I brought my 2006 Ford Ranger in to have an O2 Sensor replaced. They replaced it. Of course they did. BUT, they didn't know that every time I would press the gas pedal to speed up, my Air Conditioning Fan would stop blowing. I don't know what they did but it's working perfectly now! Please do yourself a favor and check these guys out when you need something done. By the way, they're next door to another auto repair shop that looks shady as hell. Make sure you go to the correct address.

Peter O'Brien

I've gotten both my vehicles worked on by them.My first visit was very professional and welcoming. And on my second visit. It was more the same. It gave me that old school feel, like I've grown up with them in the same neighborhood. And no, we won't talk about those days. LolI would highly recommend them for any of your car needs. We all know that there's no way around the cost of fixing your vehicle. But if you want it done right then you know Ace Auto Repair is the place to be.

Zach at Ace Auto was very honest, helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. Took my car in to get a noise checked out and he was able to pinpoint what the cause was and got it fixed. Also, they were not over priced with the work that was done. Really liked the software they use for their estimate. Will be bringing my car for regular service.

Austin Servais

16:24 25 Feb 25

When the dealer told me they wouldn’t work on my car’s misfire because it’s slightly modified (cold air intake and a tune), I had to find somewhere else to take my Subaru. These guys did a great job! Zach in particular was very upfront and honest, keeping me up to date at every step of the way and even tried to save me a little money along the way even if I never expressed that was a concern.

Colton Kimber

01:58 23 Feb 25

Very reasonable price and finished in a timely manner. Owning a hearse it's hard to find anyone to fix it. They even looked over the vehicle after what was originally scheduled to replace. Would highly recommend! Honest and trustworthy.

Why Ignoring Transmission Problems Costs More Than You Think

A small leak today can turn into a full transmission failure tomorrow. Slipping gears, delayed shifting, or burning smells aren’t just inconveniences - they’re warnings. The longer you wait, the higher the cost will be. What could be fixed with a fluid change today may turn into a multi-thousand-dollar rebuild down the road. Acting early saves time, money, and keeps your vehicle safe.

4. Guaranteed RepairsWe stand behind every repair with warranty-backed service.

Understanding Why Transmissions Fail

Your transmission is one of the most complex components in your vehicle, designed to convert the engine’s power into the motion that drives you forward. An automatic transmission, for example, is designed to last for approximately seven years or around 150,000 to 200,000 miles. However, this longevity is influenced by several factors, including the quality of maintenance you provide for your vehicle. Even manual transmissions, while often more durable, can experience issues when the clutch or gears are not operated correctly over time.

There are several reasons why a transmission may fail, and understanding these can help you take proactive steps in maintaining your vehicle:

1. Inadequate Maintenance: Transmission maintenance is crucial. Without regular check-ups, the system can become sluggish and eventually fail.
2. Fluid Issues: Running low on transmission fluid or using the incorrect type can lead to increased friction and heat, resulting in premature wear.
3. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, such as shifting gears before the vehicle comes to a full stop, can stress the transmission.
4. Heavy Towing: Exceeding your car’s rated towing capacity can overload the transmission, leading to damage.
5. Manufacturing Defects: Sometimes, transmissions fail much earlier than expected due to hidden manufacturing defects or issues during final assembly.
6. Neglecting Early Warning Signs: Ignoring the early warning signs of transmission trouble can turn a minor issue into a major repair job.

By understanding these factors, you can be more mindful of how your everyday driving and maintenance habits affect the longevity of your transmission.

Common Transmission Problems You Might Face

Transmissions are the powerhouse of your vehicle, and when they malfunction, the impact can be felt immediately. You might notice several warning signs that your transmission is not functioning correctly. Early diagnosis is key to preventing a minor hiccup from turning into a costly repair.

Take note if you experience any of the following:

1. Clutch Issues: If you’re having trouble shifting gears because your clutch is sticking, it’s a clear sign that something is off with your transmission system.
2. Slippage: A slipping transmission occurs when the gears fail to engage properly, causing your car to lurch unexpectedly.
3. Shuddering or Vibrations: A sudden shudder or vibration while changing gears may indicate that the transmission is struggling.
4. Unusual Noises: Clunking, whining, or humming during gear shifts are often the first hints that your transmission needs attention.
5. Delayed Response: If your car hesitates or delays before responding when you shift from park to drive, it could signal hydraulic pressure problems inside the transmission.

Each of these issues can compromise your driving experience and safety. It’s important to address them quickly through proper transmission service and maintenance.

The Impact of Poor Transmission Maintenance

Maintaining your transmission isn’t just about avoiding repairs; it’s about preserving the overall performance and longevity of your vehicle. Simple practices can make a huge difference:

1. Regular Fluid Checks and Changes: Maintaining your transmission fluid at the proper level and in a clean condition is one of the most effective ways to protect your transmission.
2. Regular Check-Ups: Scheduled inspections help catch potential issues before they become major problems.
3. Adapting Your Driving Style: Avoid aggressive gear shifting and abrupt stops to reduce wear.
4. Avoiding Overloading: Do not exceed your vehicle’s towing capacity.
5. Timely Repairs: Address small problems early before they grow into expensive repairs.

By incorporating these maintenance habits into your routine, you can prolong the lifespan of your transmission and experience smoother, safer driving.

Why Transmission Repairs Can Occur So Early

You might assume that a well-built transmission will last for many years, but several factors can cause premature issues:

1. Hidden Manufacturing Defects: Issues from the factory can sometimes become apparent early on.
2. Owner Driving Habits: Shifting gears too soon or abruptly can create unnecessary stress.
3. Neglect of Routine Maintenance: Failing to perform maintenance can lead to fluid contamination and accelerated component wear.

Even if you’re cautious, these issues can arise unexpectedly. The key is to recognize problems early and act quickly.
 

The Role of Professional Transmission Service

When you encounter transmission problems, it’s important to rely on experts who understand the intricacies of this complex system. Professional service ensures accurate diagnosis and effective repairs.

What you can expect during a transmission service:

1. Thorough Diagnosis: Our technicians utilize advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problems accurately.
2. Transparent Communication: We explain issues clearly so you know exactly what to expect.
3. Customized Repair Solutions: Every vehicle is unique, and so are its repairs.
4. Expert Repair Work: ASE-certified mechanics ensure the job is done right.
5. Preventive Advice: We provide guidance to help you avoid future issues.

Addressing Common Misconceptions About Transmission Repair

There are a lot of myths surrounding transmission repair:

1. “My transmission is fine until it suddenly fails.” In reality, problems usually start with subtle signs.
2. “Transmission repair is always expensive.” Regular maintenance and early intervention can save you money.
3. “I can ignore the warning signs until they go away.” Minor problems only get worse if ignored.
4. “Only old cars need transmission repair.” Even new vehicles can experience transmission issues due to their complexity or inadequate maintenance.

Understanding these misconceptions helps you make more intelligent choices for your vehicle.

How You Can Prevent Transmission Issues

With simple proactive steps, you can extend the life of your transmission:

1. Monitor Your Transmission Fluid: Keep it clean and at the right level.
2. Stick to Your Maintenance Schedule: Don’t skip inspections.
3. Adopt Smooth Driving Habits: Avoid sudden gear changes.
4. Be Mindful of Towing Limits: Know Your Vehicle’s Safe Limits.
5. Respond Promptly to Warning Signs: Don’t ignore unusual performance.

These small habits lead to long-term reliability and safer driving.

The Long-Term Benefits of Regular Transmission Maintenance

Investing in regular maintenance has clear benefits:

1. Extended Vehicle Life: Prevents catastrophic failures.
2. Improved Performance: Ensures smoother shifting and better fuel economy.
3. Cost Savings: Preventive care is significantly less expensive than major repairs.
4. Enhanced Safety: Reliable gear shifts mean safer driving.

What You Can Do If You Suspect Transmission Issues

If you notice signs of transmission trouble, don’t wait:

1. Listen to Your Car: Noises and delays are early red flags.
2. Check Your Fluid: Low or dirty fluid can cause immediate problems.
3. Evaluate Your Driving Habits: Aggressive driving accelerates wear.
4. Get a Professional Opinion: Let our experts diagnose the issue before it escalates.
