Your transmission is one of the most expensive and complex components in your vehicle. Regular maintenance prevents costly failures, and when problems do occur, you need experienced technicians who can diagnose and repair them correctly. At Whetzel’s Automotive, we provide complete transmission services. Serving West Columbia, Columbia, Lexington, Cayce, Irmo, and Forest Acres.
We drain old fluid, replace the filter (where applicable), and refill with fresh fluid that meets your manufacturer’s specifications. This is the foundation of transmission longevity.
For vehicles with significant fluid contamination, a complete flush removes old fluid from the entire system, including the torque converter and cooler lines.
Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we identify the cause of transmission problems accurately. Proper diagnosis prevents unnecessary repairs.
From minor fixes like solenoid replacement to major repairs, our experienced technicians handle transmission work with precision and care.
