Transmission Repair for Sunrise Drivers
Sunrise sits on the west side of Broward near the Sawgrass area, and a lot of its drivers split their time between highway miles and busy shopping traffic. When a transmission starts acting up, Downtown Transmissions is east of you on State Road 7 in Plantation.

Transmission repair for Sunrise drivers
We are family-owned and have served Broward County for more than 30 years. We diagnose the problem, give you a written estimate, and wait for your OK before any work begins.
Highway miles and parking lot traffic
Many Sunrise drivers commute on the Sawgrass Expressway, I-595, or I-75, then crawl through traffic around the Sawgrass shopping area. That mix is tough on a transmission. Long runs at speed build heat, and slow traffic means constant shifting. Both wear out the fluid over time.
CVTs are common in newer cars
Many newer sedans, compacts, and crossovers use a CVT (continuously variable transmission) instead of a traditional automatic. CVTs work differently and fail differently. Watch for these signs:
- A whine or drone that rises with speed
- A shudder or jerk when pulling away from a stop
- Engine revs climb but the car is slow to pick up speed
- A warning light, or the car going into a reduced power mode
CVT problems need a proper diagnosis. Some need only a fluid service with the correct fluid. Others need the unit repaired or replaced. We check it first and tell you which one you are dealing with, in writing.
Traditional automatics and manuals too
Not every Sunrise car has a CVT. We also diagnose and repair conventional automatics, including solenoids, valve bodies, torque converters, and leaks, and we work on manual transmissions and clutches. When a rebuild is the right call, it comes with a written warranty.
Getting here from Sunrise
Take Sunrise Boulevard or Oakland Park Boulevard east to State Road 7 (US 441), then head south past Broward Boulevard. We are a few blocks further, on the west side of the road near SW 6th Street. From the Sawgrass Expressway, I-595 east to the State Road 7 exit also works. Head north from there.
Coming from Sunrise
Do you work on CVTs?
Yes. We diagnose, repair, and replace CVTs, and we service them with the fluid the manufacturer calls for. Using the right fluid matters a lot with a CVT.
Is it worth driving from west Sunrise to Plantation?
Sunrise Boulevard and I-595 both connect Sunrise to State Road 7. For the trip, you get a diagnosis before any recommendation and a written estimate before any work, from a family-owned shop with more than 30 years in Broward.
My car makes a noise but still drives. Should I wait?
It is better not to. Transmission problems usually get worse, and a problem caught early often leaves you with more options than a transmission that has already failed. Call (954) 764-5060 and bring it in during the week.
