Bothell drivers have been sending us transmissions for decades

We are a locally based, full-service transmission repair shop, and we handle clutch repair and almost all general automotive repair as well. Our mechanics are specifically trained in transmission repair and have decades of experience. That’s generations of service, in the most literal sense.

Start with the right diagnosis

“You need a new transmission” is one of the most expensive sentences in auto repair, and it isn’t always true. Slipping, harsh shifts and warning lights can come from worn fluid, a leak, a sensor or a single failed part inside the transmission.

So we start by finding out:

  • A road test to feel what the transmission is doing
  • A scan with the latest computerized equipment and software
  • A look at the fluid’s level, color and smell
  • A check for leaks at the seals, pan and cooler lines

Then we let you know what repairs are needed and what it will cost.

Repair, rebuild or replace

If the transmission can be fixed with a targeted repair, that’s what we’ll recommend. If it needs more, we’ll explain the difference between rebuilding yours and replacing it, and what makes sense for the age and value of the vehicle. You decide. We back our workmanship for 2 years or 24,000 miles.

Can’t drive it?

If the car isn’t safe to drive, don’t risk it. Have it towed to our shop and call us to say it’s coming. We’ll take it from there.

Manual transmissions and more

We handle both manual and automatic transmission repairs and maintenance, plus the connected systems: clutch repair and differential service. Working on all makes and models of cars and trucks, we can take care of the rest of your car while it’s here.

See our main transmission repair page for the full list of warning signs.
