  • What does a true diagnostic service consist of?

    There is a common misconception that plugging into the vehicle’s diagnostic port with a code reader then buying parts based on these findings constitutes a diagnostic service. This couldn't be further from the truth. Retrieving trouble codes is only the beginning. An automotive vehicle diagnostic service is an appointment to figure out the issue with your vehicle. The mechanic will do a thorough analysis of your vehicle and will ask you about the different problems or noises you have noticed. The mechanic will use specific devices and expertise to read the car diagnostic tests correctly. The tests scan your car's components and systems to check for issues with components like the engine, transmission, chassis, wire harness, control modules, and many more. The process includes wiring diagrams, electrical and mechanical tests, bi-directional control tests, and visual inspections. It can take about an hour to an hour and a half for a standard diagnostic test. More complicated problems that require further diagnosis may take more hours for testing.

  • Does my transmission need a repair or replacement?

    Don't panic! Not all transmission repairs are major. Your transmission issue may involve a minor external repair. In most cases, repairs are needed and not a replacement. Have our certified ASE and ATRA technicians eliminate the guessing game.

  • How do I know if it's my transmission that needs repair?

    Transmissions have many internal and external parts that require a careful diagnostic check to determine the cause of the problem.


    Our team is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and technology to ensure that any issues with your vehicle are accurately identified and effectively resolved. We use only the highest quality replacement parts, fluids, and filters to ensure that your vehicle is returned to you in top working condition.

  • How much will it cost to repair?

    The cost of any needed repair is determined by performing a multipoint visual or electrical diagnostic service to determine what worn or damaged parts need to be repaired or replaced. Only then can the actual cost of a repair be realized.

  • Will Certified Transmission & Auto Repair fix my vehicle if the repair is not related to transmission?

    Many of our customers bring in their vehicles for transmission repairs only to find out that it is an unrelated auto repair issue.

  • How long will it take to perform my repairs?

    We are dedicated to getting you back on the road as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can perform the repairs the same day, early in - early out.

  • How do I pay for my transmission or auto repairs?

    Most forms of payment are accepted except personal checks.
