Transmission Repair in Kilgore, Texas

A transmission problem can feel scary, and it can be expensive if it is ignored. It is also true that many transmission symptoms come from something smaller than a full repair. The only way to know is to have someone diagnose it properly before anyone talks about a big bill.

At Kilgore Tire & Auto Care, our ASE certified technicians diagnose and repair automatic and manual transmissions on cars, trucks, and SUVs. We start with the problem, tell you what we find in plain words, and let you decide.

Signs of a transmission problem

• The vehicle slips out of gear or the engine revs without the vehicle speeding up
• Shifts that are delayed, harsh, or jerky
• A shudder or shake while accelerating
• Whining, humming, or clunking noises
• A burning smell
• Red or brown fluid under the vehicle
• The check engine light or a transmission warning light
• On a manual transmission, a clutch that slips, sticks, or is hard to shift

What we do

• Diagnose shifting, slipping, noise, and warning light concerns
• Inspect fluid condition and look for leaks
• Repair automatic and manual transmissions, and replace the transmission when it needs a full overhaul
• Explain what we found and what your options are

Sometimes the cause is small. Low or worn fluid, a leak, or a faulty sensor can all make a transmission act up. We look for those first, because a small fix beats a large one if it solves the problem.

You see what we see. We offer a digital inspection. When you say yes, we send photos of what we find to your phone, so you can look at the same things our technician is looking at. Nothing gets repaired until you tell us to go ahead.

If you tow a trailer or haul a heavy load, your transmission works harder than most, and early attention helps it last. If your vehicle is slipping or will not go into gear, call us before you drive it further, because driving on a failing transmission can turn a repair into a replacement.

We serve drivers from Kilgore, Longview, Henderson, Gladewater, White Oak, Overton, and Liberty City.

Our warranty. Our work is covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles on personal vehicles, and 12 months or 12,000 miles on vehicles used commercially or for business.
