TRANSMISSION REPAIR BUFFALO NY

CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION, HERTEL AVENUE - THE BEST TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP IN BUFFALO NY

The transmission is one your car’s most important components.  Simply put, it’s like a “power switchboard” for your car.  It takes the power generated by the engine and transmits it to your car’s wheels.  In fact, it “regulates” the engine so it produces just the right amount of power you need in every situation – uphill, downhill on the highway or a quiet country road.  As you can imagine, it’s also one of your vehicle’s most complex components.  So, if there is a transmission problem, it’s not something that most people would know how, or should even attempt to fix.

​

At North Buffalo's Continental Transmission, Hertel Avenue in Buffalo our expert mechanics repair or replace all worn and/or damaged parts. Once the transmission components are inspected, repaired, or replaced, they are reassembled, adjusted, and tested for proper operation - our attention to detail and careful testing and repair process allows us to ensure that your transmission repair leaves your care ready for the road ahead. And, we're happy to warranty our transmission work!

We look forward to servicing your vehicle.
