AAMCO Transmission Repair Services

At AAMCO Transmission and Total Car Care of Boise & Nampa ID, we take the time to thoroughly diagnose your transmission problem, and then create an effective plan for repair. During our exclusive Transmission Vehicle Courtesy Check, we will check the level and condition of your transmission fluid, transfer case, and differential fluid (where applicable). We will also take your car for a test drive in order to better understand your vehicle’s initial engagements, drive range, upshifting and downshifting timing and quality, passing gear, TCC engagement, and 4x4 performance. We’ll also test your vehicle in neutral, park-hold, and reverse and feel for vibrations and listen for any strange sounds.

What Are Signs That Your Transmission Needs to be Inspected?

  • High RPM (over 3,500)
  • Delays in acceleration
  • Inability to reverse
  • Unusual or burnt smells
  • Check engine light
  • Difficulty shifting gears
  • Shifting gears produces a harsh response, or any strange noises.

The Best in Transmission Diagnostic Services

New vehicles are especially dependent on their computer systems, which is why advanced computer and internal diagnostics are essential for determining the cause of a problem. At AAMCO Boise & Nampa, our skilled technicians can isolate the problem so you’re not paying for unnecessary repairs. AAMCO Boise & Nampa Computer Diagnostic Service can determine if an electrical component is affecting your transmission’s shifting ability or overall performance. Using a computer system scanner, your technician will be able to retrieve potential trouble codes, check all critical systems, and compare your system data with the data in our technical database. Your AAMCO Boise & Nampa technician can find out whether the problem is in your transmission or elsewhere. Finally, your technician will recommend specific repairs and replacements, as needed.

    How often should I change out my transmission fluid?

    Regardless what type of car you have, we recommend that transmission fluid should be changed every 36,000 miles or at least every 3 years. The best way to confirm that you may need a fluid swap is to check the levels. Likewise, if you are driving an older, heavy-duty vehicle you may need to service this more often.

    Why does transmission repair cost so much?

    At AAMCO, we strive to keep costs low, provide you with quality parts, trusted labor, and repair your transmission the right way. The reason that transmission work is so expensive is because of the many intricacies that come with most modern automatic transmissions. Each part is individually removed, cleaned, serviced, and checked for any damage. We also service on-board computers, sub assemblies, and test to see that each functions properly.

    Do I need a transmission repair or a replacement?

    Many who bring their car into AAMCO Boise & Nampa for servicing will find out that repairs can be relatively inexpensive. The difference between a repair and a rebuild is entirely dependent on the issues detected with your transmission. For many, our diagnostics can catch problems early to save you money.

    Can driving condition’s affect my transmission?

    Absolutely. Cold weather can affect many things from your transmission, engine, battery, cooling, and more. However, you can prevent future breakdowns even in the harshest of conditions with our tune-up services offered at AAMCO Boise & Nampa.
