FAQ's

  • What are the signs that my car needs transmission repair?

    Common indicators include gears slipping, delayed or rough shifting, unusual grinding or whining noises, or a check engine light. If you notice red fluid leaking under your vehicle in Northridge, it’s a strong sign of a transmission fluid leak that should be inspected immediately.
  • Does AAMCO Northridge handle more than just transmissions?

    Yes! While we are the world’s leading transmission experts, we provide Total Car Care. This includes brake repairs, engine diagnostics, oil changes, factory-scheduled maintenance, and A/C services for drivers throughout the San Fernando Valley.
  • What is included in the AAMCO Transmission Multi-Point Inspection?

    Our comprehensive diagnostic includes a fluid level and condition check, a road test to experience performance issues firsthand, and an up-close lift inspection. This ensures we pinpoint the exact problem before recommending any repairs.
  • How often should I get my transmission fluid changed?

    For most vehicles, we recommend a transmission fluid service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and manufacturer specifications. Regular maintenance helps prevent overheating and extends the life of your transmission.
  • My check engine light is on. Can you tell me what’s wrong?

    Absolutely. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to read the specific codes from your car's computer. We then perform a physical inspection to verify the cause, whether it's a simple sensor issue or something more complex.
  • Do you service all vehicle types, including imports and SUVs?

    Yes. Our Northridge technicians are trained to service all makes and models, including domestic and import cars, trucks, SUVs, and fleet vehicles. We handle both automatic and manual transmissions.
  • What is a transmission rebuild, and when is it necessary?

    A rebuild involves taking the transmission apart, cleaning it, and replacing worn components like seals, gaskets, and clutches with new parts. This is often a more cost-effective way to restore a failing transmission to like-new condition compared to a full replacement.
  • Why is my car making a squealing noise when I brake?

    Squealing or grinding usually indicates that your brake pads have worn down and are making metal-on-metal contact. We provide full brake system services, including pad replacement and rotor resurfacing, to ensure your safety on Northridge roads.
  • Can you help with my car's cooling system and radiator?

    Yes. Overheating is a major cause of engine and transmission failure. We offer cooling system flushes, radiator repairs, and hose inspections to keep your vehicle running at the proper temperature, especially during hot California summers.
  • Does AAMCO offer any warranty on repairs?

    AAMCO is known for its powerful warranty protection. Many of our major repairs are backed by a nationwide warranty, meaning your service is protected at any AAMCO center across the country, giving you peace of mind wherever you drive.
