About Transmission Service
Your transmission is the heart of your drivetrain — it transfers power from the engine to the wheels and keeps your car running smoothly. At Prime Auto Center, we offer expert diagnostic and repair services for both automatic and manual transmissions. Whether you’re experiencing slipping, jerking, delayed shifting, or leaking fluid, our certified technicians will pinpoint the issue and get you back on the road fast.
We service all types of transmissions: traditional automatics, CVTs, dual-clutch systems, and manuals. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we inspect fluid levels, sensors, torque converters, solenoids, clutch packs, and valve bodies. From fluid changes to full rebuilds, we offer only what’s necessary — no upselling, just honest repairs.
Labor is charged at $120/hour, plus the cost of any parts or fluids. For accurate pricing, contact us by phone, email, or visit the shop for a full diagnostic and custom estimate.
