Transmission & Drivetrain
Your transmission is what gets power to the wheels - and when it's not happy, you'll know it. Whether you're dealing with hard shifts in your daily driver, a slipping clutch on your weekend car, or a differential whine in your truck, we've got the experience to sort it out. Manual, automatic, CVT - we work on all of them.
Can't Drive It In?
If your vehicle is not running or is not safe to drive, call us about a limited local tow-in to ANR Automotive. Availability varies, so we confirm each pickup first.
What We Offer
Here's what falls under transmission at ANR.
How Every Job Goes
No surprises. No hidden charges. Here's the playbook.
Inspect & Diagnose
We check fluid condition, scan for transmission codes, road test the vehicle, and inspect for leaks. If needed, we'll drop the pan to look for metal debris - that tells us a lot about what's happening inside.
Explain & Quote
Transmission work can range from a simple fluid service to a full rebuild. We'll tell you honestly what level of repair makes sense for your vehicle and budget - sometimes a rebuild is the move, sometimes it's not worth it.
Repair & Rebuild
Whether it's a clutch swap, solenoid replacement, or a full transmission rebuild, we do the job right. We use quality friction materials, replace all seals, and address the root cause - not just the symptom.
Verify & Test
Every transmission job gets a proper road test - we check shift points, engagement quality, and fluid levels under operating temperature. We make sure it shifts like it should before you pick it up.
$120/hr
vs $145 local average - you save $25/hr
Lean operation. No showroom overhead. Same quality - you just don't pay for the fancy waiting room.
Common Questions
A full rebuild typically runs $2,000-$4,500 depending on the transmission type and what's damaged inside. Our labor rate is $120/hr, and a rebuild usually takes 12-20 hours plus parts. We'll give you a solid estimate once we've inspected it.
Both are valid options. A rebuild lets us address exactly what failed and use high-quality components. A remanufactured unit can sometimes be quicker if time is a factor. We'll lay out the pros and cons for your specific situation.
Most manufacturers recommend every 30,000-60,000 miles, but it depends on your driving conditions. If you tow, drive in stop-and-go traffic, or have a performance vehicle, more frequent changes are smart. Dark or burnt-smelling fluid needs attention now.
Yes. CVTs require specific fluid and have their own set of quirks. We can handle fluid services, belt/chain noise diagnosis, and common repairs. If it needs a full replacement, we'll source the right unit and get it installed.
Sure thing - we're BYOP-friendly. Just keep in mind our labor warranty covers our work, not customer-supplied parts. If you want us to source it, we can usually get quality parts at competitive prices.
