Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.

Early Signs of Transmission Problems
- Strange Noises: Does your car emit whining, clunking, or grinding sounds, especially when shifting gears? These noises can indicate worn gears, failing components, or low fluid levels.
- Slipping Gears: This can feel like a momentary loss of power or a sensation of the engine revving without acceleration. It means the transmission isn't properly engaging gears.
- Delayed Engagement or Shifting: Does your car hesitate when you shift gears, or take longer than usual to get into gear from a stop? This could be a sign of internal friction or worn components.
- Burning Smell: A burning odor coming from your car can be a serious sign of overheating transmission fluid. Pull over immediately and have your car towed to a mechanic.
- Check Engine Light: While this light can indicate various issues, it can also be a warning sign of transmission problems. Don't ignore it!
Don't wait until your transmission completely fails! If you notice any of these signs, schedule an appointment with our Maple Grove mechanics as soon as possible!
