What You Should Know About
Transmission Repair Estimates

Just like you would not expect your doctor to give you an accurate diagnosis over the phone, it is impossible to get a reliable estimate on transmission repair by calling around. All legitimate transmission repair facilities need to see your vehicle in person to accurately determine what is wrong with your transmission.

What To Expect with a Transmission Repair Estimate:

• Road Test – All transmission repair centers should road-test your car first.
• Electronic Diagnosis – A computer malfunction may indicate you have a transmission problem. The transmission repair facility must conduct an electronic diagnosis to eliminate the possibility of a computer or electronic error.
• External Check – An external check of your transmission should be performed, to determine if there is an internal or external problem with your system.
• Internal Inspection – If your problem is internal, a thorough internal diagnosis may be needed, and can only be made by removing and dismantling your transmission. Then a careful inspection of the internal components will accurately determine the level of damage and condition of your vehicle.

Only after these steps are taken can your repair cost be accurately determined.

When Looking for Transmission Repair Shops, Watch Out For:

• Transmission repair facilities that continuously call you reporting more damage and increasing the repair price after you have authorized work to begin. If a complete internal diagnosis was conducted, this should not occur. 

• Ads that claim “We’ll repair any transmission for…” or offers to rebuild a transmission for an unbelievably low price. Your transmission must be accurately diagnosed before the damage and the cost of the repair can be determined.

• Companies that are quick to quote you a firm price without seeing your car. As they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

Remember, when you do compare prices, compare only apples to apples. There are no minimum rebuilding standards on transmissions. Call Eagle Transmission and Automotive Repair of Rowlett today, the one to trust.
