So, you’ve determined your transmission is bad. What next? Bob's Truck Repair & Car Care Center in Port Huron, MI is here to help.

There are a few things to consider when your transmission goes out. You might feel inclined to just get a new car...but should you? Here are some factors to think about.

Car Dashboard with 0 RPMs and the oil light on

Fleet cars, vans, and trucks see a lot of wear and tear. If your engine has already called it a day, then it’s obviously case closed - you need a new engine or a new vehicle. However, there are many times when an engine is about to go down, and you can get it taken care of before it kicks the bucket for good - saving you time and towing in the process.

Exhaust issues are extremely common, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive. At Bob's Truck Repair & Car Care Center in Port Huron, MI, we can get your exhaust back in shape in no time.

Exhaust issues tend to be neglected, and we get that; there are just other parts of your vehicle that you'd rather focus on. Besides a clogged catalytic converter, there isn’t much risk of damage from a bad exhaust system - it negatively affects your gas mileage, and the sound is annoying, but other than that, it’s an issue many people learn to live with.

A perfect example of reliable and good people......my son was told by an oil change place that he may have a transaxle leak. So we took it to the car dealer to have it checked and/or fixed. They said it was an oil pan leak and was going to cost over $2300 to fix it. Told them no we would hold off since the car is almost 10 years old. Pd them $125 to look at it. Took it to Bob’s for a “2nd opinion”. It does have a leak but knowing I didn’t want to put $2300 into it he said just keep an eye on the oil level and if it gets low just add the oil in between oil changes. Saved us a lot of money and the car has been fine. Thanks again Bob!!

Diagnostic Tablet on engine transmission sensor

Our Port Huron drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Bob's Truck Repair & Car Care Center feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on. The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!
