Engine & Transmission Repair

Major mechanical repairs require experience, the right equipment, and a shop you can trust. JR Car Care handles complex engine and transmission work across all makes and models, with honest diagnostics and transparent pricing before any work begins.

Engine Repair Services

Minor Engine Repairs: Head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, timing belt/chain service, water pump replacement, oil leaks, and more.

Major Engine Work: Engine rebuilds, short block replacement, cylinder head work. We’ll tell you honestly whether a repair makes financial sense for your vehicle.

Cooling System: Overheating can destroy an engine quickly. We repair radiators, water pumps, thermostats, coolant hoses, and perform full cooling system flushes.

Fuel System: Fuel pumps, injectors, fuel pressure regulators, and related components.

Transmission Services

Transmission Fluid Service: Old transmission fluid breaks down and accelerates wear. Regular fluid changes extend transmission life significantly.

Transmission Repair: Slipping gears, hard shifting, and delayed engagement are signs of transmission trouble. Early diagnosis can prevent expensive failures.

Transmission Rebuild: When a transmission fails, we evaluate rebuild vs. replacement options and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.

CVT Service: Continuously Variable Transmissions require specific fluid and service intervals. We handle CVT service on all brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my transmission is failing?
Common signs include slipping between gears, hesitation when accelerating, hard or jerky shifting, a burning smell, or the transmission warning light. Any of these should be checked soon, transmission problems worsen quickly if ignored.
Is it worth repairing a high-mileage engine?
It depends on the vehicle's overall condition and the cost of the repair versus the car's value. We'll always give you an honest assessment and help you make the right decision for your situation.
How often should transmission fluid be changed?
Generally every 30,000–60,000 miles for automatic transmissions, though this varies by manufacturer. CVTs often have different intervals. Check your owner's manual or ask us.
