Transmission rebuild in Edmonton.

Transmission troubles are usually unexpected, leaving you frustrated and without transportation. While it’s important to get it fixed as soon as possible, you should also know that a complete replacement isn’t always necessary. Dot Transmissions is capable of saving you time and money with a transmission rebuild in Edmonton. With a comprehensive inspection, including computer diagnostics, we can determine the type of repair your vehicle needs and make a recommendation based on our decades of experience.

Today’s transmissions are complex, with computer-controlled electronic parts and hydraulics working together to keep your vehicle in motion. In some cases, the problem may be with the signals coming from the computer. In other cases, the transmission may simply need to be resealed if you are noticing spots of red fluid on your garage floor. But if the problem is more involved and your transmission needs an overhaul, we can take care of it. Contact us today to schedule service from our expert technicians.

During a rebuild, any worn or damaged parts are replaced. This typically includes parts like seals, gaskets, clutch components, and bands. Sometimes, more significant parts like gears need to be replaced.

Whether it’s better to rebuild a transmission or replace it with a new one depends on several factors, including the specific issues with the current transmission, the cost, and the age and overall condition of the vehicle.

A transmission rebuild is typically more cost-effective, while a complete transmission replacement may mean a longer lifespan. However, a new transmission is typically more expensive and may not be necessary if the issues in your current transmission are relatively minor or localized.

The lifespan of a rebuilt transmission can vary based on several factors, including the quality of the rebuild, the driving conditions, and how well the transmission is maintained after the rebuild.

If a transmission is properly rebuilt by a skilled mechanic, it can often last between 100,000 to 200,000 miles or even more. The key to a long-lasting rebuilt transmission is addressing all the existing problems during the rebuild, using high-quality parts, and ensuring everything is assembled correctly.

Yes, we have experience working with transmissions from all makes and models of import vehicles. That includes Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mercedez Benz, and Volvo.

Our experts will conduct a thorough inspection of your transmission to determine whether repairs, rebuilding, or replacement are necessary. A rebuild is usually recommended when there are significant signs of wear and tear, provided it will produce the same results as a replacement.

Some signs that a rebuild or repair is necessary include:

  • Strange smells or noises coming from your transmission
  • Erratic or delayed shifting
  • Slipping gears
  • Leaking transmission fluid
  • The check engine light turning on

A transmission rebuild is not the same as a repair. While a repair involves fixing minor issues such as defective solenoids or adjusting the throttle cable, a rebuild means we’re overhauling the entire transmission and repairing or adjusting every component. This provides a more thorough and long-lasting solution to transmission issues and is typically recommended when there is significant wear or multiple repairs required.
