These are the warning signs you shouldn't ignore. Catching it early saves thousands.
Engine revs but the car doesn't accelerate. Feels like the transmission is losing grip between shifts.
You shift to Drive or Reverse and there's a 2–3 second pause before the car moves. Internal wear.
Transmission slams into gear instead of shifting smoothly. Valve body or solenoid issue.
Transmission fluid is overheating and breaking down. The friction material is burning off.
Red fluid under your car means a seal or gasket is leaking. Low fluid = fast internal damage.
Codes P0700, P0730, P0894 all point to transmission. Don't ignore a transmission fault code.
Not every transmission problem is a full rebuild. We diagnose first and tell you the honest answer.
Best for: Minor issues found early
Best for: Internal wear, slipping, major damage
Don't let the total stop you. We offer Synchrony Car Care and Koalafi — flexible payment plans for every credit situation, including 90-days same as cash. Ask when you call.
All parts and labor are warrantied for 12 months or 24,000 miles — double the industry standard on mileage. If something isn't right after a job, bring it back. No second invoice.
Most standard automatic transmissions fall in the $1,500–$2,500 range. Complex units (6-speed, CVT, 4WD) may cost more. We give you an exact quote after the free diagnostic — no surprises.
The engine revs up but the car doesn't accelerate normally — like the transmission is spinning in place before catching. You may also feel jerky shifts, a pause when putting it in Drive, or sudden power loss on the highway. Any of these means schedule a diagnostic soon.
Depends on what's wrong. Minor issues — a solenoid, seal leak, valve body — can be repaired for $800–$1,500. If there's internal wear (clutch packs, broken bands, metal shavings in the fluid), a full rebuild at $1,500–$3,000 is the right call. We diagnose first and tell you which you actually need.
Most automatic rebuilds at Space Alien Performance run $1,500–$3,000. Dealerships charge $3,500–$5,500 for identical work. Same quality parts, same labor, 30–50% less cost.
Not for long. Every mile with a slipping transmission accelerates internal wear. What starts as a $1,500 repair can become a $3,000 rebuild. Get a diagnostic soon — it's free and takes about an hour.
Yes. A proper rebuild replaces every worn component and restores factory specs. We test it before reinstall and road test after. You get full reliability at half the cost of a new or reman unit.
Stop guessing what it'll cost. We'll scan it, inspect it, and give you a straight answer — free, no obligation.
