OUR SERVICES
Transmission Specialists & Complete Auto Care
Four service lines. One standard: done right the first time.
TRANSMISSION REBUILDS
Complete Rebuild. Manufacturer Standards. Built to Last.
A transmission rebuild is the most complex repair in automotive service — and it has been our specialty for over 28 years. When a transmission is rebuilt at Performance Automotive, it is disassembled completely, every component is inspected, worn or damaged parts are replaced, and the unit is reassembled to manufacturer specifications. This is not a patch job. It is a durable, lasting repair performed by specialists who have done this work for decades.
What's Included
- Full disassembly and component-by-component inspection
- Replacement of all wear items: clutch packs, bands, seals, gaskets, and O-rings
- Hard parts inspected; damaged components replaced
- Reassembly to manufacturer torque and clearance specifications
- Fluid fill with correct transmission fluid specification
- Road test and post-repair verification
28 years of focused transmission work means faster, more accurate diagnosis and fewer comebacks. You are not paying for a generalist to learn your job — you are paying for a specialist who has seen this failure pattern before.
TRANSMISSION REPAIR & DIAGNOSTICS
Accurate Diagnosis. Honest Repair. No Guesswork.
Slipping between gears, fluid leaks, hard or delayed shifts, shuddering at highway speed, or a warning light on your dash — these are the signs we diagnose every day. We do not recommend repairs by guessing. We use professional diagnostic equipment to identify the actual cause, explain it in plain language, and quote you before any work begins.
Our diagnostic process starts with a full transmission scan and a road test. We check fluid condition and level, inspect for external leaks, and pull fault codes. You get a written summary of findings and a straightforward recommendation — rebuild, repair, or in some cases, no repair needed.
What's Included
- Professional transmission fault code scan
- Road test evaluation of shift quality and behavior
- Fluid condition and level inspection
- External leak inspection
- Written findings summary
- Repair quote before any work begins

DRIVETRAIN REPAIR
Axles, Differentials & Driveline Components.
The drivetrain is everything between your transmission and your wheels. When a CV axle clicks on turns, a differential whines under load, or a driveshaft vibrates at speed, those symptoms point to components we repair and replace every week. Drivetrain problems caught early are straightforward repairs — left unaddressed, they become expensive failures.
We service front and rear axles, CV joints and boots, differentials, transfer cases, and driveshaft components across domestic and import vehicles. If the problem is in the driveline, we diagnose it accurately and fix it right.
What We Service
- CV axles and CV joint replacement
- Front and rear differential service and repair
- Driveshaft inspection, balancing, and replacement
- Transfer case service and repair
- U-joint replacement
- Four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive system diagnosis
28+ years. Transmission specialists. Honest every time.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What You're Probably Wondering
Transmission and drivetrain repairs raise real questions about cost, timing, and process. Here are honest answers.
How do I know if I need a rebuild or just a repair?
Not every transmission problem requires a full rebuild. Slipping, leaking seals, or a single solenoid failure are often repairable without disassembly. A rebuild is warranted when internal wear is widespread — clutch packs, drums, or hard parts are damaged. We diagnose first and tell you which applies before any work begins.
How much does a transmission rebuild cost?
Rebuild cost depends on the vehicle, transmission type, and what we find during inspection. We do not quote a number before we know the job. What we will always give you is a written estimate before work starts — no surprises.
How long does a transmission rebuild take?
Most rebuilds are completed in 3–5 business days depending on parts availability and the scope of work. We will give you a realistic timeline at the time of the estimate and keep you informed if anything changes.
What does your diagnostic process look like?
We scan for fault codes, road-test the vehicle, check fluid condition, and inspect for external leaks. You receive a written summary of our findings and a repair recommendation before we ask you to commit to anything.
Do you work on both domestic and import vehicles?
Yes. We service transmissions and drivetrains across domestic and import makes and models. Call us with your year, make, and model if you want to confirm before bringing the vehicle in.
