FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from our customers.

What factors determine the price of transmission repair?
The cost of transmission repair depends on several factors, including your vehicle’s make, model, and year, which directly affect parts and labor costs. Another factor is the extent of the damage to your transmission. Regular transmission maintenance can help your transmission last at least 100,000 miles, potentially saving you from costly repairs.

A standard automatic transmission service involves:

  • Draining old transmission fluid from the pan.

  • Replacing the transmission filter and installing a new pan gasket.

  • Refilling with fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) to ensure smooth shifting and optimal performance.

Yes. During a transmission fluid and filter change, only the fluid in the pan is replaced, usually four to five quarts. A full transmission flush, however, removes nine to thirteen quarts, draining the entire system to ensure all old fluid and contaminants are replaced.
We understand your schedule is busy. Whether you need to get to work, school, or other responsibilities, Dream Coast Auto offers complimentary shuttle services to get you where you need to go.
