Professional Transmission Repair

 in Mountain Home, ID

Your transmission is one of the most important systems in your vehicle. It transfers engine power to the wheels, manages gear shifts, and ensures smooth performance whether you’re cruising on the highway or tackling Idaho’s back roads. When your transmission begins to fail, you’ll notice problems ranging from rough shifting to total breakdown. That’s why timely inspection and repair are essential.

 

At C & A Automotive, we provide expert transmission repair in Mountain Home, ID, backed by more than 20 years of experience in the auto repair industry. As a locally owned and operated shop, we take pride in serving drivers throughout Southwest Idaho with honest, reliable, and affordable service.

Signs of Transmission Trouble

Transmission problems often start small but can quickly escalate into costly repairs. Paying attention to the warning signs helps prevent further damage. Common symptoms include:

 

  • Grinding or slipping gears – Your vehicle struggles to stay in gear or slips unexpectedly.
  • Unusual noises – Whining, humming, or clunking sounds when shifting may point to internal wear.
  • Burning smell – Overheated transmission fluid can cause a distinct burnt odor.
  • Delayed shifting – Hesitation or rough gear changes signal fluid or component issues.
  • Leaking fluid – Bright red or dark brown spots under your car often indicate a transmission leak.
  • Dashboard warning light – Many modern vehicles will trigger a transmission or check engine light when problems occur.

 

If you notice any of these signs, bring your vehicle to our Mountain Home shop for a full diagnostic inspection.

Comprehensive Transmission Services

Our team of ASE-certified technicians is equipped to handle everything from routine maintenance to complete overhauls. We service both gas and diesel vehicles of all makes and models.

Transmission Inspections

Regular inspections are the best defense against unexpected breakdowns. We’ll check your fluid levels, look for leaks, inspect seals and gaskets, and evaluate overall performance to catch issues early.

Transmission Fluid Service

Fresh transmission fluid is key to reducing friction and cooling the system. Our fluid change service includes draining old fluid, replacing filters if necessary, and refilling with high-quality fluid designed for your vehicle. This service improves shifting and extends the lifespan of your transmission.

Transmission Repairs & Overhauls

Sometimes, minor repairs such as replacing seals, solenoids, or gaskets are enough. But if your transmission has suffered significant damage, our technicians can perform a complete overhaul or rebuild. This involves disassembling the transmission, replacing worn parts, and reassembling it to factory standards — restoring performance and reliability.

Clutch Service for Manual Transmissions

For drivers with manual transmissions, a healthy clutch is essential. We offer clutch adjustments, repairs, and full replacements to keep your gear changes smooth and your vehicle safe to drive.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Not sure what’s wrong? We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues quickly and accurately. This saves you time and ensures that we recommend only the repairs your vehicle truly needs.

Preventive Maintenance: Protect Your Transmission

Waiting until your transmission fails can be expensive and stressful. Regular maintenance keeps it running smoothly and avoids major breakdowns. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Schedule transmission fluid changes as directed by your vehicle manufacturer.
  • Have your system inspected if you notice unusual noises, leaks, or shifting issues.
  • Keep up with routine vehicle maintenance — engine problems often strain the transmission.
  • Don’t ignore warning lights; small issues can become big problems quickly.

By taking a preventive approach, you can avoid costly rebuilds and enjoy peace of mind on the road.
