Transmission Replacement

Warning Signs of Transmission Failure in Your Kia Model

If your transmission is slipping, struggling, or making strange noises, bring it to us before it gets worse. Often problems can be fixed by our service department if caught early enough. Sometimes they need to be replaced, and that is a big job. When a transmission goes completely out, your car will not move at all. Often the reverse gear goes out first. Also, it will not respond a few times before it fails completely. If your transmission is struggling, putting it off will only make it worse and will end up costing you more in repairs.

Replacing Your Kia’s Transmission

You have some options when replacing a transmission. The age and value of your car will go a long way in determining which option is best. Our certified technicians can explain your options and help you decide which choice is best for your situation.

• Buy a new transmission: This is by far the most expensive and often not the best choice. On those rare times that an almost new car needs a transmission, this is a good option
• Buy a used transmission: This is the cheapest, but also the one with the most risk. There is no way to know the real condition of the unit, and often there is no warranty.
• Buy a rebuilt transmission: This is a solid option, and you get a like-new transmission with all the parts brought to company standards.
• Rebuild the transmission in your car: This is also a solid option, and often less expensive than a rebuilt one. You get the new parts you need, and the good parts are kept. The whole transmission is brought to company standards and is also like-new.
