Transmission problems don't fix themselves. Mike's expert technicians diagnose and repair all transmission issues for automatic and manual vehicles throughout Pike County.
The transmission is one of the most complex and expensive components in your vehicle. At Mike's Auto Services & Towing in Hawley, PA, we take a thorough diagnostic approach to transmission issues before recommending any repair. We want to fix your problem right the first time — not sell you services you don't need.
Transmission fluid lubricates moving parts, acts as a coolant, and transmits hydraulic pressure for shifting. Old, contaminated fluid is the leading cause of transmission failure. Most manufacturers recommend flushing and replacing fluid every 30,000–60,000 miles. In hilly terrain like the Pocono Mountains — with frequent gear changes on steep grades — that interval may be shorter.
A flush is routine maintenance for a healthy transmission. A rebuild is needed when internal components have worn or failed. We diagnose first and give you an honest assessment before recommending major work.
Gear slipping is one of the most common signs of a failing transmission. It could be low fluid, a worn clutch, or internal failure. Don't drive far on a slipping transmission — call Mike's at (570) 226-6040.
A fluid flush takes 1–2 hours. A full rebuild or replacement can take several days depending on parts availability. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
It depends on the vehicle's overall condition and the cost versus value. We'll give you a straight answer — we're not going to push an expensive rebuild on a car that isn't worth it.
