Not all transmission rebuilds are created equal, and the difference comes down to certification and process. A master-certified rebuild means you’re working with technicians who’ve completed advanced ASE certification—the gold standard in automotive repair.
Most shops outsource their rebuilds or use generic remanufactured units. We handle everything in-house with our own certified technicians. This means faster turnaround times, consistent quality control, and accountability when something needs attention.
When your transmission arrives at our shop in Clarke County, it goes through a methodical rebuild process that takes 5-7 days on average. Here’s exactly what happens.
First, complete disassembly and inspection. Every component gets removed, cleaned, and evaluated. Worn parts get replaced with high-quality components—not the cheapest available. Internal seals, gaskets, and friction materials are automatically replaced regardless of their apparent condition.
The valve body gets rebuilt with precision tolerances. This is where many quick-fix shops cut corners, but it’s critical for proper shift timing and pressure control. Torque converters are either rebuilt or replaced depending on their condition.
During reassembly, everything gets torqued to manufacturer specifications. Fresh transmission fluid goes in, and the entire unit undergoes road testing before it leaves our shop. This isn’t a quick fluid-and-filter change—it’s a complete restoration of your transmission’s internal components.
The process takes longer than a simple swap, but you’re getting a transmission that’s built to last. Our master-certified technicians have over 30 years of combined experience, particularly with American, Japanese, and classic vehicles.
Many transmission shops install remanufactured units from outside suppliers. These “reman” transmissions are built in factories using assembly-line processes, often with unknown quality control standards. You have no idea what went into that unit or who built it.
Our in-house approach means we know exactly what goes into your rebuild. We use your original transmission case and internal components wherever possible, replacing only what’s actually worn. This creates a better fit and longer lifespan than a generic replacement.
The diagnostic process also matters. Many shops rely on basic code readers that miss manufacturer-specific issues. We use advanced diagnostic equipment that can identify problems other shops miss—like software calibration issues or intermittent electrical faults that cause premature transmission failure.
When problems occur with a remanufactured unit, you’re dealing with a third-party warranty that might require shipping the transmission back to the manufacturer. With our in-house rebuilds, any warranty issues get handled locally by the same technicians who did the original work.
This approach costs slightly more upfront, but you’re paying for accountability and long-term reliability. Your rebuilt transmission comes with a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty that’s backed by the shop that actually did the work.
Most transmission shops offer 12-month or 12,000-mile warranties on rebuilds. We double that coverage with our 24-month/24,000-mile warranty. This isn’t just marketing—it reflects our confidence in the rebuild process and quality of components used.
The warranty covers all internal transmission components, labor, and related adjustments. If something fails during the warranty period, you’re not paying for diagnosis, parts, or labor to fix it. This includes everything from internal seals to major components like planetary gear sets or valve bodies.
Our warranty covers defective materials and labor related to the transmission rebuild. This includes internal components like clutch packs, bands, seals, gaskets, valve body components, and planetary gear assemblies.
External components directly related to transmission operation are also covered, including the torque converter, transmission cooler lines, and related electrical connections that were serviced during the rebuild.
The warranty is nationwide, meaning you’re covered even if you move or travel outside Athens, GA. Any ASE-certified transmission shop can perform warranty work if needed, though we handle most warranty claims directly.
What’s not covered are problems caused by external factors—like cooling system failures that cause overheating, computer issues unrelated to the transmission, or damage from accidents or abuse. The warranty also doesn’t cover routine maintenance items like fluid changes or filter replacements.
Most importantly, the warranty doesn’t require you to return to us for all your vehicle’s service needs. You can get oil changes and other maintenance anywhere without voiding your transmission warranty.
The standard transmission rebuild warranty in Georgia is 12 months or 12,000 miles. Some chain shops offer longer coverage, but it’s usually through third-party warranty companies with complicated claim processes and limited coverage.
Our 24/24 warranty is handled directly by our shop. When you call with a concern, you’re talking to the same people who rebuilt your transmission. There’s no runaround with warranty companies or disputes over coverage.
AAMCO offers nationwide warranty coverage, but their claims process involves corporate oversight and potential delays. Independent shops like James Transmissions offer competitive warranties, but coverage varies by location and may not transfer if the business changes hands.
Our warranty strikes the right balance—long enough to provide real peace of mind, backed by a local business with over 30 years in the community. The 24-month coverage period accounts for the fact that transmission problems sometimes develop gradually, and you want protection beyond the first year of operation.
The 24,000-mile coverage ensures you’re protected regardless of your driving patterns. Whether you’re a UGA student driving locally or a commercial driver covering significant mileage, the warranty adapts to your actual usage.
Your transmission rebuild decision affects your vehicle’s reliability for years to come. Cutting corners on this repair rarely saves money long-term—it usually leads to repeat failures and additional costs.
Our master-certified rebuild process and 24/24 warranty provide the reliability and peace of mind you need. Our in-house approach means better quality control, faster service, and local accountability when you need support.
If you’re dealing with transmission problems in Athens, GA or surrounding Clarke County areas, we offer the expertise and warranty coverage to get it done right the first time.
