What Is Transmission Rebuilding?
You may be asking yourself what a transmission rebuild is, and for a good reason—it’s not an everyday repair and is only done after a transmission has worn down. So, what exactly is a transmission rebuild? Simply put, it’s replacing the worn down, overused key parts of the transmission rather than replacing the unit entirely. When you choose Alberta Transmission Service, you can rest assured that we have a team of expert transmission technicians who will rebuild your unit quickly.
When Is Transmission Rebuilding Required?
Typically, electrical problems with your car's transmission can be fixed without removing it from the vehicle. This helps you save considerable time and money. However, if the transmission has suffered substantial damage, it may need a thorough repair or replacement. Our technician starts with a comprehensive assessment of the problem and provides you with options.
With our help, you can decide on the best possible course of action depending on the type of fault in your transmission or the cause of the problem. Read our blog for more insights on transmission repair vs replacement. Also, find out the differences between custom transmission rebuild and remanufacturing.
Our Rebuilding Process
Alberta Transmission Service’s transmission rebuilds involve a few specific steps, including:
-
Inspection – The first step of the rebuilding process is a comprehensive inspection of your transmission. A technician will carefully examine each of the various parts of your transmission to determine whether each one needs to be replaced, repaired, or in good shape. Even if you’ve done a good job of properly maintaining your vehicle and the transmission, there’s a likelihood that many of the parts will need to be replaced simply due to wear and tear.
-
Parts replacement – The next step is to create a comprehensive list of which parts need to be replaced. Before making any replacements, we will consult with you to estimate the cost of those parts. Our technicians can recommend whether a reconditioned/refurbished or new part will be appropriate for each transmission element.
-
Test run – Once the parts have been successfully replaced and your transmission is ready, we will run your vehicle to ensure that the unit runs smoothly and there are no hitches or other issues. We take tremendous pride in getting the job done right the first time, and that’s why we are adamant about a test run before sending you on your way.
Benefits of Transmission Rebuilds
When you’re considering having your transmission rebuilt, it’s essential to keep in mind what the benefits of doing so are:
-
Cost savings – Without a doubt, the most significant benefit of a rebuild is the cost compared to that of entirely replacing your transmission. Ideally, at most, a rebuild will be half the replacement cost. That in itself makes a rebuild worth your money.
-
Time savings — Rebuilding a transmission typically takes three to four days in our shop. On the other hand, a transmission replacement could leave you without a car for a week or more.
Cost of Repairs
It is natural to wonder what your transmission rebuild in Edmonton will cost. The cost of rebuilding your vehicle’s transmission depends on several factors. The primary price differences are the make and model of your vehicle and transmission and the extent of the damage. After a thorough assessment, our experts can provide you with a transparent and honest cost estimate.
