"Time is money"; with our busy lifestyles today and all the places a person has to go, work, kids, school, soccer games, grocery store, we all enjoy the convenience of getting an accurate price quote upfront, before any work is done on your vehicle. If you are like me, you want to see exactly what you are getting into when you need a major repair, especially something as sometimes mysterious as a transmission repair; you want to know exactly what you are getting into beforehand. Most companies understand that and are willing to give you a written estimate for any work recommended for your vehicle. This includes transmissions shops; however there seems to be a gray area when it comes to a price quote for transmission work. An automatic transmission is made up of many parts working together to perform its purpose, these parts can be classified into three categories;
- Hard Parts (gears, shafts, torque converter, and case)
- Soft Parts (gaskets, seals, bands, and clutches)
- Incidentals (non-transmission related parts that are affected)
Manual Transmissions
Manual transmission repair pricing is the hardest to give an honest price quote for (gears get expensive). That’s why at K&B Transmission Inc. we give you a way out. The only labor you will be responsible for is the labor for removing and installing the transmission. With the transmission out of the car, we will disassemble and give you an estimate for the total job, (parts and additional labor), at no cost. If you choose your way out, we will stay with the original labor quoted and install a used or remanufactured transmission staying with the price quoted before starting.
The incidental parts, the ones we cannot predict, are even more important on manuals than automatics there is more to go wrong (hydraulics, shifters, flywheels, clutches, linkage, etc.).
Our automatic transmission shop is proud to be affiliated with the non-profit organization known as the Automatic Transmission Rebuilder Association (ATRA). As an ATRA member our automatic transmission repair shop adheres to the service and repair definitions which are a part of the ATRA bylaws and code of ethics.
K & B Transmission Inc. pledges to all of our customers that we will not remove a transmission from a vehicle in order to complete a repair unless absolutely necessary. Additionally our shop promises to diagnose transmission problems for all of our local and surrounding area customers in an honest and expert manner. Our shop strives to provide prompt and courteous service to all who visit our automotive transmission repair facility in the hope that you will come back to us for all of your automotive automatic transmission repair needs.
