Transmission Repair
Slipping gears? Delayed engagement? Shaking or grinding when you accelerate or decelerate?
These could all be signs pointing to a transmission in need of repair - and being that the transmission is the second most important component next to your engine under the hood of your car, it's crucial that it's looked at and serviced at the first sign of a problem. Failure to do so may result in further damage to the transmission and other vehicle components, which could ultimately lead to a more expensive repair.
Whether you need transmission maintenance or a full rebuild, your local GreatWater 360 service center is here to help. Find your nearest GreatWater-affiliated location today to schedule an appointment.
Overview of Transmission Services
With a network of local full-service auto repair centers, GreatWater offers everything from routine transmission maintenance to rebuilds and replacements. Here's an overview of GreatWater's comprehensive transmission service offerings:
Transmission Flush
The best way to prevent transmission issues is to ensure you're keeping up with recommended maintenance. Flushes, which remove and replace old transmission fluid with new fluid, are one such task. The timing of transmission flushes varies greatly depending on your vehicle make and model. Flushes may be needed in as little as 30,000 miles or every two years, or some vehicles can go near 100,000 miles. Our certified technicians can provide you with the correct timing for your vehicle.
Transmission Fluid Change
Transmission fluid changes consist of draining and refilling the current transmission fluid. Unlike a flush, all old fluid is not evacuated during a fluid change.
Rebuild, Repair, and Replacement
If your transmission needs more significant service, consider GreatWater your trusted transmission repair shop. From repairs to replacements to full rebuilds, our technicians can handle it.

Common Transmission Issues
The best way to prevent transmission issues is to regularly check and maintain your vehicle's transmission fluid levels and quality. In fact, the leading cause of transmission failure is low levels of transmission fluid, so it’s important to keep up with your transmission’s routine maintenance.
Premature failure is also linked to certain driving habits, such as improperly changing gears or shifting an automatic transmission before the vehicle completely stops. Driving with excess loads in your vehicle can also put more strain on the transmission and lead to premature failure.
