Caught off guard by sudden transmission trouble? Don’t stress. No matter the time of day, your local AAMCO Chicagoland mechanics can help. It’s risky to ignore even minor transmission problems. Once they escalate to more noticeable changes in performance or become so bad that they leave you stranded, it’s time to turn to a professional for help. At AAMCO, we strive to offer services that help alleviate your stress and return your transmission to full efficiency. Even in the middle of the night, we provide ways to help get you out of a bad situation.
Common Signs of Serious Transmission Trouble
The best way to avoid transmission emergencies in the first place is to pay attention to changes in your car’s performance that could indicate a problem. Often, transmission issues first show up as subtle changes like difficulty shifting gears, brief hesitation while driving, or sounds like humming and grinding. As soon as you notice any of those symptoms, it’s time to schedule a service with a trusted mechanic. Once they develop into slipping gears, a burning smell, or triggering a dashboard warning light, a more serious repair may be necessary.
Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Difficulty shifting gears
- Grinding or humming noises
- Burning smell
- Slipping transmission
- Dashboard warning lights
Dealing with a Transmission Emergency? Head to Your Local AAMCO
Are you stuck with a transmission that won’t shift? Has a slight burning smell turned to overheating? Once serious issues happen with your transmission, you have no choice but to seek the help of an expert mechanic. The less you drive with these problems and the sooner you make it to a transmission shop, the better. You may avoid some of the most costly repairs and get your car safely and efficiently back on the road quicker.
Our Transmission Experts Can Help with Any Repairs Your Vehicle May Need
All transmissions have a complex system of components, each of which contributes to its efficiency and performance. That means diagnosing an underlying issue and corresponding repairs can be tricky and should always be left to an expert. Make sure issues are caught early by scheduling routine maintenance services with a professional mechanic—and trust the experts when there’s more serious transmission trouble to handle. With years of hands-on experience under our belts and decades as a leading name in the industry, AAMCO Chicagoland is here to help, no matter what your car needs.
Stuck Stranded? Call Your Nearest AAMCO for a Complimentary Tow Service
It’s easy for transmission trouble to leave you stranded—and even if you’re still able to drive your car, it’s often better to avoid it. Instead, opt to call a tow service to get you and your vehicle safely to an auto repair shop. Many tow companies can charge an arm and a leg to come help you, but if you call your nearest AAMCO instead, we’ll send a tow truck to pick you up and bring your vehicle to our shop — free of charge.
Dealing with a Tight Budget? Our Financing Options Can Help Make Costly Repairs More Affordable
Auto repairs aren’t cheap, especially when it comes to your transmission. If you’re worried about the cost of taking care of your transmission, we have a solution. Not only do we offer warranties on minor transmission repairs, rebuilds, and replacements, but there are also financing options to help spread out payments toward the cost of those services. You’ll drive away confident in the parts used and work done on your vehicle—and qualifying customers have access to financing options for repairs.
