Who is the best transmission repair shop near Selma Texas?

We may be a little biased, but many local drivers consider Perfect Shift Transmission their trusted shop for transmission repair and diagnostics. Vehicle owners from Selma and nearby areas like San Antonio, Schertz, and New Braunfels rely on us for accurate diagnostics, experienced technicians, and straightforward recommendations. We specialize exclusively in transmission services, which means your vehicle is in the hands of experts who do this work every day.

What are the signs my transmission is going bad?

Common warning signs of transmission trouble include delayed shifting, slipping gears, rough shifting, strange noises, burning smells, fluid leaks, or a transmission warning light. If you notice any of these issues while driving around Selma or commuting into San Antonio, it is important to have your vehicle checked before further damage occurs.

Should I repair or rebuild my transmission?

That depends on the condition of your transmission. Minor issues may only require targeted repairs, while internal damage or widespread wear may call for a full rebuild. At Perfect Shift Transmission, we perform thorough diagnostics first, then explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision that fits your vehicle and budget.

How much does transmission repair usually cost?

Transmission repair costs vary based on the problem, vehicle type, and extent of damage. Simple repairs cost less than rebuilds or replacements. We provide detailed estimates before any work begins so drivers from Selma, Cibolo, and New Braunfels always know what to expect with no surprises.

Is it safe to drive with transmission problems?

Driving with transmission issues can make the problem worse and lead to complete failure. Slipping, delayed engagement, or warning lights should not be ignored. If your vehicle feels unsafe or unreliable, bring it to Perfect Shift Transmission as soon as possible for an inspection.

How long does transmission repair take?

Repair timelines depend on the type of service needed.

 

  • Diagnostics may be completed the same day
  • Minor repairs may take one to two days
  • Rebuilds or replacements may take several days

 

We keep customers updated throughout the process and work efficiently to get drivers back on the road safely.

Do you work on automatic and manual transmissions?

Yes. Perfect Shift Transmission services automatic, manual, CVT, and performance transmissions for many domestic and import vehicles. Whether you drive a daily commuter or a work truck, our team has the experience to handle your transmission needs.

How often should transmission fluid be changed?

Most vehicles need transmission fluid service every thirty thousand to sixty thousand miles, depending on driving habits and manufacturer recommendations. Stop and go traffic in San Antonio or frequent towing can shorten service intervals. We can review your vehicle and recommend the right schedule.

What causes transmission fluid leaks?

Leaks are often caused by worn seals, damaged gaskets, loose fittings, or failing lines. Transmission fluid is critical for cooling and lubrication, so even small leaks should be inspected quickly to avoid major damage.

Do you offer a warranty on transmission work?

Yes. We stand behind our work with warranties on parts and labor for added peace of mind. Our goal is long term reliability, not short term fixes. If something is not right, we will address it.
