Transmission problems don’t fix themselves. Slipping, hesitation, harsh shifts and fluid leaks are early signs of internal wear or pressure loss, and in Phoenix heat they get worse fast. The good news: many shifting problems turn out to be low fluid, a sensor or a solenoid, not a rebuild.
Not all auto repair shops take on transmission work. We do, and we start with a transmission diagnostic.
We handle transmission diagnostics, transmission fluid change, clutch repair and CVT transmission repair for Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles.
“Save time. Save money. Fix the right thing the first time.”

Transmission problems are the ones drivers fear most, and often the ones they’re oversold on. In this video, George shows how we diagnose a transmission before recommending a repair. Many shifting problems in Phoenix turn out to be far smaller than a full rebuild.

Heat is the number one killer of transmissions, and Phoenix traffic supplies plenty of it. Sometimes a fluid service or a sensor fixes the problem; sometimes it needs a rebuild or replacement. We show you the evidence, explain every option and put the price in writing. Every transmission repair in Phoenix we perform is backed by the NAPA AutoCare Peace of Mind Warranty, 24 months or 24,000 miles.
These symptoms point to different problems:
A clunk under the car may be an axle or U-joint, not the transmission. A regular transmission flush or fluid service prevents most failures, and a warning light needs a professional diagnostic. Because many transmissions are cooled through the radiator, a weak cooling system can overheat the transmission too. Our guides on how heat wears out your transmission and understanding your automatic transmission explain more. Call or schedule online, and ask about Synchrony financing for larger repairs.

If your car shifts roughly or skips between gears, your transmission may need attention.

Your transmission is one of the most complex systems in your vehicle, and Pete Kelley’s has handled transmission repair in Phoenix for more than 50 years.

Whether it is a transmission service, an automatic transmission repair, a manual transmission repair or a full rebuild, our technicians diagnose with fluid analysis, road testing and electronic scanning, and fix only what your vehicle needs.
Arizona heat puts extra strain on transmission fluid and internal parts, so transmissions often wear out faster here than in milder climates. We service automatic, manual and CVT transmissions with fluids that meet OEM specifications, and every diagnostic covers the torque converter, valve body, shift solenoids and cooler lines.

Slipping gears, delayed engagement into drive or reverse, harsh or late shifts, a burning smell, red fluid leaks and a transmission warning light. Transmission repair in Phoenix costs far less when problems are caught early.
Many manufacturers recommend 30,000 to 60,000 miles under severe conditions. Some call their fluid “lifetime,” but heat breaks it down, and in Phoenix, regular fluid service is one of the best ways to extend transmission life.
Not every shifting problem needs a rebuild. Many are caused by low or worn fluid, a sensor or a solenoid. We diagnose first and explain whether you need a fluid service, a repair, a rebuild or a replacement.
Yes. Common CVT symptoms include a whine, shudder or hesitation when accelerating. CVTs are especially sensitive to fluid condition and heat, so on-time fluid service matters.
Engine revs that climb without the car speeding up, a clutch pedal that engages near the top, a burning smell and grinding gears. Pete Kelley’s performs clutch replacement and manual transmission repair in Phoenix, backed by the NAPA AutoCare warranty.
Transmission repair cost ranges widely. A transmission service or a sensor costs far less than a rebuild or replacement, and transmission service cost depends on the fluid type and capacity. We diagnose first and put each option in writing.
