Transmission & drivetrain services in Hickory, NC
Transmissions are our main work: automatic and standard, CVT, 4WD, transfer cases and differentials, import and domestic. Pick a service for the details, or tell us what your vehicle is doing and we’ll point you the right way.
Transmission repair & rebuilds
Automatic, standard and CVT units, import and domestic. We diagnose first, then repair or rebuild on our own bench.
Transmission Rebuilds Slipping, flaring, or a transmission that's worn out We tear automatic transmissions down, inspect them and rebuild them on our own bench in Hickory. We don't swap in a unit and hope it works. Import and domestic, backed by a written warranty. Learn more 
Automatic Transmission Repair Slips, shifts hard, or won't go into reverse Slipping, harsh shifts, no reverse or a transmission warning code. We find the actual fault and fix that part, whether it's a solenoid, the valve body or the torque converter, before anyone talks about replacing the whole transmission. Learn more 
Manual Transmission & Clutch Clutch slipping, grinding gears, or a pedal that feels wrong Standard transmissions are half of what we specialize in. We handle complete clutch jobs, including the disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and flywheel, as well as manual gearbox repair and rebuilds for cars and trucks. Learn more 
CVT Repair Whining, shuddering, or revving without pulling We diagnose and repair continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) in Nissan, Subaru, Honda and other vehicles. We'll also be upfront about the one thing that makes CVTs harder than other units: parts can be hard to get. Learn more Drivetrain
Transfer cases, differentials and 4WD engagement on trucks and SUVs that tow, haul and climb.
Diagnostics & maintenance
Find out what’s actually wrong before you spend money, and keep the fluid healthy so small problems stay small.
Transmission Diagnostics Something feels wrong and you want a straight answer Honest diagnosis comes first. We road test it, scan it and inspect it so you know exactly what's wrong, and what isn't, before you spend money on a repair. Learn more 
Transmission Fluid Service Overdue for service, or the fluid looks dark We drop the pan, replace the filter and refill with the fluid your transmission calls for. We also service differentials and transfer cases. It's the simplest way to keep a healthy transmission healthy. Learn more Parts & general repair
Used and core transmissions, engine and general repair, and help getting a vehicle here when it won’t drive.
Used & Core Transmissions Need a budget-friendly unit, or a core for your own build A rebuild isn't always the right call. Sometimes a used or replacement unit makes more sense, and if you're building your own, we sell cores. We'll tell you honestly which option fits your vehicle and budget. Learn more 
Engine & General Repair Engine, brake or suspension trouble, from a shop you already trust Transmissions are our specialty, but they're not all we fix. Engine repair, brakes and suspension work are available for customers who'd rather keep everything at one shop they already trust. Learn more 
Towing Vehicle won't move, or isn't safe to drive in If your transmission has quit and the vehicle won't move, or you shouldn't drive it, call us. We can help get it to the shop. Ask about towing when you call, since it may be included with rebuild work. Learn more Units we see on the bench
