Drivetrain Repairs

Today’s transmissions, drivetrains, and differentials are both better and more complex than ever before. They are electronically controlled, and computerized to produce better fuel economy, smoother shifting, and more reliability.

They are so sophisticated that they have become fully integrated into the engine performance system. These advancements in technology have made properly diagnosing and servicing transmissions, drivetrains, and differentials more important and complex than ever.

While maintenance schedules for fluid replacements have been greatly extended, failure to follow them can be a very costly mistake. Many driving symptoms today are caused by problems that are not easy to identify. Proper analysis of the entire powertrain system is necessary to make sure the proper component is isolated and repaired.  We have the OEM quality diagnostic tools, along with properly trained, experienced technicians, that are qualified to get the job done right.

If you are having a problem with the way your car or light truck shifts, drives, or performs, let us get you back on the road quickly and affordably.

Inspection and repair fees can vary drastically depending on what needs to be accomplished to correctly diagnose and repair the problem.

If no components need to be removed for inspection, a $125.00 diagnostic fee is standard within the industry.

With the majority of transmission, drivetrain, and differential repairs requiring larger components of a vehicle to be removed from the chassis, labor charges can vary as well with simple parts replacements starting around $200, to complete system disassembly potentially being upwards of $1,000-2,000.

The best thing to do if you believe you have an issue with any transmission, drivetrain, or differential components, is to have a qualified technician perform an inspection and diagnose the problem. In many instances, only a simple repair is needed, even though the problem may seem far worse.

Schedule with our staff today if you have any concerns about your transmission or drivetrain components!

Failures for any components in these systems can happen randomly, simply having your vehicle inspected properly during your normal service intervals can help prevent a lot of costly repairs in the future.

Periodically check your owners manual for maintenance service intervals, and how often you need certain fluids changed and replaced.

You can also reach out to us to identify when your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends performing any of these services preventatively.

The great thing about maintaining your vehicle with JE is that our parts prices, and labor rate are far lower than the dealership, and as long as your maintenance service schedule is followed, you will maintain all factory support and warranties.
