Top 6 Tips How To Avoid Transmission Scams and Transmission Rip-Offs

Having a transmission problem can be very timely and expensive auto repair. The automatic transmission and torque converter have become much more complex, computerized and expensive. These new designs have made the automatic transmission and torque converter more reliable these days, but still automatic transmissions do tend to wear out and break down. Some automatic transmission rebuilds can easily cost $2,000.00 or more.

1. The most important information you need to know is the year, make, model, engine size, and in some cases the VIN# of the automobile with problems. In order to get accurate information and estimates you got to have this information

2. When describing the transmission problems you are experiencing be as descriptive as possible. When does the problem happen and how often. When was the first time you noticed the problem(s).Mention if any indicator lights are on such as Check Engine Light, Service Engine Light Soon Light, Transmission Light, OD Light, etc.

3. Always get recommendations of friends, family and co-workers to recommend a local transmission repair shop where they were treated fair and were happy with the transmission repairs and services.

4. Always look for a professional auto repair shop appearance. A transmission repair shop that is clean, organized and busy indicates a professional business attitude and work environment.

5. Always avoid telephone cost estimates for transmission repairs. Today’s automobiles make it virtually impossible for anyone to give an accurate transmission repair cost estimate over the telephone. Any transmission repair shop / auto repair shop that gives you an exact cost estimate for major transmission repairs before they physically check the car / truck are probably giving you a “low ball” transmission cost repair estimate. To get an accurate cost estimate for transmission repairs requires a series of trans-check procedures.

6. Always ask for a detailed written cost estimate for any transmission repairs, service or recommendations. After a complete transmission performance check of your car / truck the transmission repair shop should have a fairly good idea of what’s wrong with your car / truck transmission. The transmission repair shop or auto repair shop should be able to provide you a written cost repair estimate of any needed or recommended transmission repairs or service(s). The written cost repair estimate should have a detailed deception of what’s wrong with the transmission. The written cost repair estimate should also include the warranty and complete cost of all repairs and services.
