Q: How much does transmission repair cost?

A: It’s tough to say exactly how much it will cost to repair your transmission without first knowing a few specific things, like the age and condition of your transmission and the extent of the trouble with it. For more expensive repairs, some shops like Superior Transmission will offer financing to help ease the sudden burden on your wallet of getting your transmission fixed.

Q: What’s the difference between a rebuild and a replacement?

A: As the name implies, a rebuild is when your existing transmission is rebuilt using new or refurbished parts and components. A replacement is when your existing transmission is swapped out with a new one. Your transmission specialist will make a recommendation based on the extent of the transmission trouble you are experiencing.

Q: Should I get a second opinion?

A: You’re always welcome (and even encouraged) to get as many quotes as possible in order to feel comfortable with the transmission repair shop you end up doing business with. However, keep in mind that the lowest quoted price is not always the best option. Take other factors into consideration such as the quality of the work the shop provides.
