Your vehicle is a huge investment and so important in your day-to-day life. It needs to be reliable, efficient, safe, and worry-free. We know Mazda owners hold their vehicles to lofty standards in terms of a quality ride, not to mention the highest standards of care and customer service. Read on below for insight on what you can expect from transmissions issues, and how we are committed to providing the right option for you.
Transmission Repair:
Why It’s Important
The transmission is the heart of a properly functioning vehicle, making sure the engine isn’t working too hard and properly shifting gears, to name just a few things it does.
There are a number of red flags that may indicate a transmission needs to be repaired or even replaced. Whether it’s leaking fluid, a burning smell, or unusual noise coming from the transmission, you’ll want to bring it into a service center as soon as possible.
Types of Transmission Repair
Our certified technicians, who go through frequent training, have the latest diagnostic tools which will be able to provide an accurate assessment of your vehicle. They will hook the vehicle up to computers in the service bay that will output diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s) to pinpoint the issue that goes into the vehicle health report.
Of course, technology and tools can only go so far, so we have our technicians visually inspect and confirm what the codes tell us when we are underneath your vehicle.
How Long Does the Repair Take?
Transmissions are complex with a number of small parts and have been increasingly computerized over the last number of years. If it’s a minor issue like a faulty sensor, the transmission will not have to be completely removed from the vehicle and it could take as little as a single service day to complete.
For more complex issues where the transmission needs to be removed and intricate parts cleaned or replaced, it could potentially take several days. Either way, we will keep you informed and in the loop every step of the process.
The Highest Quality Parts
Transmissions are very complex machines, and you might have many questions on the repair and parts themselves. Because there are so many reasons why your transmission might need to be repaired, the cost varies, as well. What will not vary, however, is our firm commitment to the highest quality, premium OEM parts specific to your model and transmission.
We will be transparent on whether a part needs to be replaced due to wear and tear, or cleaned and serviced, and any other option that makes sense for your vehicle.
Although transmissions have a longer life span depending on regular maintenance, bad things can still happen. Be assured that getting your transmission serviced is an important and critical maintenance item for your vehicle.
