Most shops quote the rebuild first. We troubleshoot it first.
A transmission is hundreds of precision parts running to tight tolerances — and a full rebuild is the most expensive answer on the menu. It's also the easiest one to reach for. GearTrue does it the other way around: diagnose the real problem, start with the cheaper option, and only recommend the big job if that's genuinely what your car needs.
That approach is exactly what customers keep coming back for. It's why people bring cars here for a second opinion after another shop went straight to "you need a new transmission."
Built around the transmission
Transmission work is the specialty — and while your car's here, GearTrue handles the general repairs too, so you're not chasing down a second shop.
Transmission Repair, Rebuilds & Replacement
Automatic and manual — from a slipping automatic to a full rebuild or a fresh transmission for a work truck. It's the bread and butter of the shop, and the honest diagnostics come standard: you'll know what actually needs doing before anything is torn down.
Clutch Work
Worn, slipping or dragging clutch? Clutch replacement and repair done right — often the same day, at a price that makes sense.
Transmission Diagnostics
Not sure it's the transmission? An honest diagnosis comes first — a clear answer and the cheapest sensible fix before any big job is on the table.
General Auto Repair
Full-service alongside the transmission work — general mechanical repair and diagnostics to keep the car running once the driveline is sorted. One less shop to deal with. If it needs fixing, ask when you call.
Bring up whatever's going on with the car when you call — the shop will tell you straight whether it's worth doing.
Why customers keep saying the same thing
It isn't marketing — it's how the shop runs. Four things GearTrue does the same way every time.
Cheaper option first
The problem gets troubleshot before anything gets quoted, and the cheaper fix comes first — no jumping straight to a rebuild you may not need.
Same-day when it can be
Plenty of jobs go out the door the same day at a fair price — so you're back on the road without the runaround.
Explained in plain English
No auto knowledge required. The shop is patient and easy to work with — you'll actually understand what's wrong and why.
Reasonable, honest pricing
Specialist skill without the upsell. You pay for the work the car actually needs — which is exactly why people come back and send friends.
"Shifts like new again."
They troubleshot my transmission and started with the cheaper fix — a service and a solenoid instead of the rebuild another shop quoted me. The truck shifts like new.
