GET A THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS OF ANY TRANSMISSION FAULTS
If you notice unusual transmission noises or have difficulty selecting gears, it’s crucial to get any issues diagnosed as soon as possible. Clutch wear, wheel bearing faults, or internal gearbox faults could all lead to expensive repairs. Getting a diagnosis sooner rather than later will help to prevent any excessive repair costs.
At Traffic Motor Company, we have the technical expertise, experience, and equipment to determine the exact cause of the problem. Our trained technicians can usually diagnose a transmission fault by performing a simple road test and some checks to determine the exact nature of the problem. We’ll offer our honest advice on any repairs and provide a full breakdown of all costs involved.
Our garage is known for our dependable services and commitment to saving our customers money. To minimise costs, we recommend a fully guaranteed reconditioning service, rather than a gearbox replacement. All services are carried out using high-quality replacement parts that match or exceed original manufacturer quality. Call us today to book your car into our garage.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS?
At Traffic Motor Company, we have 20 years of experience when it comes to transmission faults. Here are some of the main reasons our customers experience gearbox issues.
EXCESSIVE STOPPING AND STARTING
If you live in a busy city, driving in traffic could be taking its toll on your vehicle. The frequent stops and starts can put a strain on your brakes as well as your transmission. Contact us for brake repairs.
POOR MAINTENANCE
Transmission fluid helps to keep your transmission operating at an optimal rate and temperature. Neglecting warning signs and driving with low transmission fluid could lead to overheating.
YOUR DRIVING STYLE
Bad driving habits such as engine braking, resting your hand on the gearstick, flooring the accelerator, and late braking can wear out your transmission.
ROAD CONDITIONS
Potholes, speed bumps, and extreme weather can have a detrimental impact on your transmission. Avoiding poor road conditions can help to prevent transmission problems.
TRANSMISSION SERVICES FOR YOUR GEARBOX
Gearboxes differ from one vehicle to the next. That is why, at Traffic Motor Company, we match our transmission services to the system fitted to yours. On a manual, our technicians inspect the clutch and gear linkage as soon as gear changes start to feel stiff. Automatics work differently and depend on fluid pressure and electronic controls. We also work on CVT and dual-clutch units, each with its own set of checks.
Not sure which gearbox you have? We identify it during the first inspection and plan our transmission diagnostics around it. As a result, you pay only for the work your vehicle needs.
TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE THAT KEEPS YOUR VAN ON THE ROAD
The same care applies to working vehicles. Heavy loads and long days on the road place extra demand on a van's gearbox, so regular transmission maintenance pays off for local tradespeople and fleet owners.
Our Barrhead workshop welcomes vans alongside cars. During routine visits, our team checks gearbox condition and flags early wear while the fix is still small. Time off the road costs your business money, which is why we keep downtime short. Extended opening hours help as well, letting you leave your van with us before or after a shift.
HOW LONG DO TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS TAKE?
The answer depends on the fault. Transmission diagnostics are the quickest stage, and we complete most of them in a single visit. Smaller jobs, such as a fluid change or a linkage adjustment, usually fit within the same day.
By contrast, a full gearbox recondition takes longer, as our technicians remove the unit before rebuilding it. Parts availability also affects the schedule, so we confirm a realistic timeframe before work begins.
Getting here is simple. Our car garage is on Glasgow Road, a short drive from Neilston and Paisley.
