Our Complete Auto Repair & Transmission Services
Full-Service Tune-Ups & Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance can help identify problems before they become expensive repairs. Our tune-up and maintenance services can include engine performance inspections, spark plug and ignition service, air and fuel filter replacement, fluid inspections and replacement, battery and charging system checks, belts and hoses inspection, vehicle safety inspections, and preventive maintenance recommendations. Following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule can help improve reliability, fuel economy, and vehicle longevity.
Transmission Repair & Rebuilding
Transmission problems can start with something as simple as a slipping shift, delayed engagement, unusual noise, or a warning light. Our specialists diagnose and repair automatic and manual transmission problems, including slipping, hard or delayed shifting, fluid leaks, shuddering and vibration, no reverse or drive, overheating, torque converter problems, and solenoid and valve-body problems. We also handle rebuilds, replacement, and used and remanufactured transmission installation. We diagnose the problem before recommending a repair so you aren’t paying for unnecessary work.
Expert Computer Diagnostics
Today’s vehicles rely heavily on sophisticated computer systems. A check-engine light doesn’t necessarily mean the transmission or engine needs to be replaced. Our diagnostic service can help identify problems involving check-engine lights, transmission warning lights, ABS systems, airbag/SRS systems, engine performance, electronic throttle systems, sensors and modules, electrical problems, and transmission control systems. Accurate diagnostics are the first step toward an accurate repair.
Differential Repair & Service
Your differential transfers power from the transmission to the wheels while allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds when turning. Differential problems can produce whining or humming noises, grinding, clunking, fluid leaks, vibration, difficulty turning, and excessive play. We provide differential inspections, fluid service, repairs, bearing replacement, seal replacement, and differential rebuilds when needed.
Driveline Repairs
The driveline transfers engine power through the transmission and differential to the wheels. A problem anywhere in this system can cause vibration, noise, or loss of power. Our driveline services include inspection and repair of driveshafts, U-joints, CV axles, CV joints, driveshaft support bearings, transfer cases, differentials, and other driveline components. If your vehicle vibrates during acceleration or makes a clunk when shifting from reverse to drive, a driveline inspection may be necessary.
CV Joint & CV Axle Service
CV joints allow power to reach the wheels while the suspension moves and the wheels turn. Common signs of CV joint or axle problems include clicking while turning, clunking, vibration during acceleration, torn CV boots, grease leaking around the axle, and damaged or worn CV joints. We inspect CV axles and CV boots and replace worn components when necessary.
U-Joint Service
U-joints are important components of many rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive drivetrains. A worn U-joint may cause clunking when shifting between Drive and Reverse, vibration while driving, squeaking, driveshaft movement, and driveline noise. Replacing a worn U-joint before it fails completely can help prevent additional driveline damage.
Front-Wheel Drive & Rear-Wheel Drive Service
Our technicians service both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles, including their transmissions, axles, differentials, CV joints, driveshafts, and related drivetrain components. Whether you’re experiencing a vibration, leak, shifting problem, or unusual drivetrain noise, we can inspect the system and identify the source.
Four-Wheel Drive & Transfer Case Service
4WD and AWD systems contain additional components that require regular inspection and maintenance. We service components including transfer cases, front differentials, rear differentials, driveshafts, CV axles, U-joints, and 4WD/AWD controls. Transfer-case fluid service and inspections can help protect these expensive drivetrain components.
Clutch Repair & Replacement
Manual transmissions depend on the clutch to transfer engine power to the transmission. Signs of a worn clutch can include clutch slipping, difficulty shifting, grinding gears, a burning smell, high clutch engagement, and engine RPM increasing without corresponding acceleration. Our clutch services include clutch inspection, clutch replacement, flywheel service, and related components.
Flywheel Service & Installation
A damaged or worn flywheel can affect clutch engagement and transmission operation. Depending on the condition, we can inspect the flywheel for excessive wear, cracks, hot spots, warping, and surface damage. When necessary, we can resurface or replace the flywheel as part of a clutch repair.
Overdrive & Transmission Service
Overdrive systems allow the transmission to operate at lower engine RPM during highway driving, helping improve efficiency and reduce engine wear. Problems with overdrive may cause high RPM at highway speeds, failure to shift into overdrive, transmission slipping, warning lights, and poor fuel economy. Our technicians can diagnose electronic and mechanical overdrive concerns.
Road Service & Towing
When transmission trouble leaves you stranded, getting your vehicle to a qualified repair facility is the first priority. ACE Transmission Service offers convenient road-service and towing options for qualifying repairs. Ask us about our free towing within 10 miles with transmission overhaul.
