So, you use your car every day and more often than
not, you thank the heavens that you own a car. It has made your life tons
easier. No more commuting, no more falling in line to buy tickets and no more
struggling to find a good seat on the bus or train. In your car, you can travel
more comfortably.
This sounds all good until something breaks in your
car. More so if it’s your transmission that has broken down. It will be very
dangerous to continue driving a car with a broken transmission. Hence, you
better get it checked right away.
When you arrive at a transmission repair center,
the repair technicians will have a look at your transmission and diagnose the
problem. They will use computer diagnostics tools to pinpoint the main problem.
Once diagnosed, they will relay the information to you and possibly, give it
together with the quote for repairs.
Here’s when things can go tricky. If it’s your
first time to visit the transmission builder company, they can overcharge you.
They’ll tell you that you need a total transmission overhaul, when in fact, a
few repairs will do. Getting a second opinion would help. But then again, if
you yourself aren’t knowledgeable about transmission problems and the repair
details, you will get duped anyway.
So, take a look at these different transmission
builder services available and know what you really need and what you’re paying
for:
·
You need a new transmission. When the
transmission repair company tells you that you need a new transmission, they
mean remanufactured transmission. Take note that new transmissions are only
available when bought with new cars.
Remanufactured
transmissions are done in a factory, in two common practices. The first is that
a team of workers will work on remanufacturing the transmission, while the
other uses only one person to “reman” a specific type of transmission. Often,
that person specializes in a family of transmissions.
·
You need a rebuilt transmission. Transmission
builder services involve disassembling the transmission, inspecting it, taking
out the damaged parts, replacing the parts and reassembling them. During
reassembly, it will follow the factory specifications that will specifically
match the other parts of your car like clutches, gaskets and seals.
Transmission rebuilt is also known as refurbished or reconditioned.
·
You need a repaired transmission. A repaired
transmission is basically repairing the worn out parts without having to
rebuild the entire transmission again.
Different transmission problems will require
different transmission builder services. Talk to a trusted repair company in
your area and agree to the right repair service.
