Transmission Repair for Fort Lauderdale Drivers

We start with a diagnosis, then give you a written estimate before any work begins. Nothing gets done without your OK, and if the job changes, we call you first.

City driving is hard on a transmission

Fort Lauderdale traffic means a lot of stopping and starting. The commute downtown, the lights along Broward Boulevard and US 1, waiting on drawbridges over the New River and the Intracoastal, and weekend beach traffic on A1A all add up. Every stop and start makes the transmission shift, and time spent idling in the heat raises the fluid temperature.

Heat is what wears transmission fluid out. Once the fluid breaks down, clutches slip, shifts get rough, and small problems grow into big ones. Catching it early usually leaves you with more options.

Signs to get it checked

• The engine revs but the car is slow to pick up speed
• Hard or late shifts, especially after sitting in traffic
• A delay when you shift into Drive or Reverse
• Red or brown spots where you park
• A check engine light along with a shifting problem
• A burning smell after a slow commute

Getting here from Fort Lauderdale

From downtown, take Broward Boulevard west to State Road 7 (US 441). Turn left, heading south, and go a few blocks. We are on the west side of the road near SW 6th Street. If you are coming from the south side of the city, I-595 has an exit at State Road 7. Head north from there.

What happens when you bring it in

We diagnose the problem first. Some cars only need a fluid service, a solenoid, or a leak fixed. Others need a rebuild or a replacement. You get a written estimate that explains which one you are dealing with. Rebuilds come with a written warranty, and every car gets a road test before you pick it up.
