The Peninsula's Transmission Specialists
Transmission problems are stressful — and most general repair shops aren't equipped to handle them properly. At Peninsula Transmission + Automotive, transmission work isn't a sideline. It's our specialty. We have the diagnostic tools, the technical knowledge, and the hands-on experience to get your transmission repaired right the first time.
Whether your transmission is slipping, grinding, refusing to shift, or throwing a warning light, we'll diagnose the problem accurately and walk you through your options — repair or rebuild — before any work begins.

Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention
Catching transmission issues early can save you thousands in repair costs. Watch for these warning signs:
- Slipping between gears or delayed engagement
- Grinding, whining, or clunking noises
- Transmission fluid leak (red or brown fluid under your vehicle)
- Check engine light or transmission warning light
- Burning smell coming from under the vehicle
- Vehicle won't shift into gear or gets stuck in one gear
- Rough or harsh shifting
Repair vs. Rebuild — We'll Help You Decide
Not every transmission problem requires a full rebuild. Sometimes a targeted repair — a solenoid replacement, a fluid service, or a sensor fix — is all that's needed. We'll give you an honest assessment and help you make the right call for your vehicle and your budget.
