Engine and transmission problems are among the most disruptive issues for vehicle owners. When these core systems fail, vehicle performance, safety, fuel efficiency, and reliability all suffer. Gervais Auto Exchange offers engine and transmission replacement services that employ proven techniques, quality components, and experienced technicians. These services restore vehicles to dependable, road-ready condition.
An engine replacement becomes necessary when internal damage, excessive wear, overheating, oil starvation, or catastrophic failure makes repair impractical or unreliable. Common warning signs include persistent knocking sounds, power loss, excessive smoke, metal contamination in the oil, or repeated breakdowns despite prior repairs.
At Gervais Auto Exchange, engine replacement starts with a detailed diagnostic evaluation to confirm that replacement is the best solution. Once confirmed, technicians remove the failed engine and inspect surrounding systems, including:
An engine replacement is carefully selected for your make and model and meets factory specifications. Each installation includes alignment, calibration, fluid replacement, and testing to ensure smooth operation and long-term durability.
The transmission manages power delivery from the engine to the wheels, making it essential for acceleration, shifting, and drivability. Transmission failure often presents as slipping gears, delayed engagement, grinding noises, burning smells, or fluid leaks. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to complete loss of mobility.
Transmission replacement services at Gervais Auto Exchange follow a structured approach. Technicians confirm failure through road testing and electronic diagnostics, then remove the damaged transmission and inspect related components, including the torque converter, drivetrain, mounts, and cooling lines. Replacement transmissions are installed with attention to proper programming, fluid specification, and system integration. Final testing verifies correct shift patterns, responsiveness, and performance under real driving conditions.
Engine and transmission replacements involve more than swapping major components. Each service includes:
Our comprehensive service reduces the risk of repeat failures and ensures the vehicle performs as intended once returned to the owner.
Regular vehicle service plays a critical role in extending the life of engines and transmissions. Routine oil changes, transmission fluid services, cooling system maintenance, and timely repairs prevent overheating, contamination, and internal wear. Skipping scheduled maintenance often accelerates component failure, turning minor issues into costly replacements.
Early diagnostics also matter. Addressing warning lights, unusual noises, vibration, or shifting problems early can prevent the need for a full replacement. Even if the engine or transmission needs to be replaced, early detection reduces damage and downtime.
Gervais Auto Exchange combines technical expertise with a focus on transparency and reliability. Technicians work with modern diagnostic equipment, adhere to manufacturer specifications, and prioritize long-term vehicle performance. Clear communication ensures customers understand the condition of their vehicle, the scope of work required, and what to expect throughout the replacement process.
