Tacoma Transmission...
Puts your smile back on!!
Luckily we make it easy and worry free to take care of your transmission: A-1 Transmission is located in Lakewood, WA and open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM. Call 253-581-1479 to schedule your appointment.

When it comes to their car's transmission, Tacoma residents choose A1 because we treat our customers like friends and neighbors. Whether you need a repair, flush or full replacement, we keep costs minimal and explain what's going on in plain English. Because there are so many parts that interact with the transmission, problems can be easily misdiagnosed by shops that lack our expertise. With that being said, we won't be able to know what's wrong with your transmission until we take a look inside. There are just too many variables to consider. Never trust anyone doing diagnostics over the phone.  Symptoms you describe like vibrations, noises, or leaks could mean any number of possible problems, and not necessarily a single issue.

Our customers appreciate that we always take the time to accurately diagnose problems and are honest with our findings. If your problems aren't actually transmission related we won't try to sell you something you don't need. We do, however, hope that you'll allow us to provide the necessary repairs. Although our specialty is the auto transmission, we know Tacoma drivers need maintenance for all parts of their vehicle - so we fix other mechanical problems, too. Whether your check engine light is on or your brake pads are worn, we have a team of ASE certified mechanics to get your car back to its peak performance.

Transmission repairs are typically stressful, inconvenient, and expensive - that's why it's our mission to provide our customers with the highest quality repair work at fair prices. We are committed to service and quality - call today for the best transmission service in Tacoma!

Transmission Slipping
Transmission Tacoma
Are you worried that your transmission may be slipping? All drivers, whether using an automatic or manual transmission, should be aware that this is a serious safety risk. There may be a whining sound or pitch change from your engine, but if you feel the transmission slipping in or out of gear or popping into neutral definitely call us ASAP so we can inspect and repair your transmission. Problems can start out small but turn into bigger, much more expensive, issues if not properly addressed.

If you're experiencing transmission slipping, it can feel like your gears are changing on their own for no reason. Your car might seem like its suddenly underpowered, struggling, or isn't accelerating like it should. It doesn't necessarily mean that your transmission is failing, but it is a sign that heavy maintenance is needed. What are some other symptoms to look for? High RPM (over 3,500), delayed acceleration, inability to reverse, burnt smells, check engine light, difficulty shifting gears, harsh response when shifting gears, or strange noises. If you experience any of these conditions then your car is likely showing signs of slipping.

One common cause of transmission slipping is low fluid levels. Low fluid can cause a number of problems such as not providing enough hydraulic pressure to engage gears. Luckily, it's totally preventable. Just keep an eye on your fluids by having the levels checked whenever you get your oil changed. Burnt or ineffective fluid can also cause the transmission to slip. This can be avoided by having a regular transmission service done - how often to service depends on what you drive, how often you drive and the conditions you drive in.

Another cause of slipping is worn or broken transmission bands. They are what link the gears in the transmission together, so they can't be overlooked. This fix is typically simple; you just need the defective band replaced or adjusted. Furthermore, both automatic and manual transmissions have clutches and gears which can become worn or burnt out. Clutch problems are the most common culprit for a manual transmission slipping.

Surprisingly enough, many times when customers bring their car in with what they think is a transmission issue; the problem we find is not with the transmission itself, but with a different part like the torque converter on an automatic that works with the transmission. So many automotive shops lack experience with transmission. They misdiagnose problems left and right - and you end up paying more for their mistake! Not with our team. A-1 Transmission is your local Tacoma, WA transmission expert. We give your transmission a thorough diagnosis to find out exactly what is causing the symptom.

Transmission slipping? Make your appointment ASAP! We will have to take a look at your transmission to determine the issue and get you a quote. Never trust a shop giving you diagnosis over the phone. Transmissions are way too complex for that.
