Morganton drivers make the trip down I-40 to Hickory because they want a dedicated transmission shop: one that rebuilds units in-house and tells you honestly whether you need a rebuild at all.
Getting here from Morganton: About 30–35 minutes to our Hickory shop via I-40 East.
Burke County roads ask a lot of a transmission. Climbing toward the Blue Ridge, pulling a boat up to Lake James, or running a 4x4 on gravel all add heat and load. Heat is the biggest enemy of automatic transmission fluid. By the time a truck starts slipping on a grade or flaring between gears, the fluid has usually been working hard for a long time.
Our shop is about 30–35 minutes from Morganton via I-40 East. It’s worth the drive because we’re a dedicated transmission shop. We diagnose first, rebuild in-house when a rebuild is truly needed, and repair transfer cases and differentials on 4x4s too. If your truck tows regularly, a fluid service on the transmission, transfer case and differentials is cheap insurance against a bigger bill later.
If your vehicle isn’t safe to drive the distance, don’t risk it. Call us first and ask about towing, and we’ll talk through the options before anything gets arranged.
For transmission work, we think so. A specialist shop can often find a smaller, correct repair instead of a full replacement. We'll call you with updates while it's here so you don't make extra trips.
Call (828) 855-3444 before you try to drive it. Ask about towing when you call. Towing may be included with rebuild work, and we'll tell you what applies to your situation.
Yes. Towing trucks are a big part of our work, including heavy-duty units like the 4L80E, 6L80, 68RFE and 5R110W.
Tell us what your vehicle is doing and we’ll take it from there. The request takes a couple of minutes, or call and talk to the shop directly. Se habla español.
