TRUE HONESTY ON THEIR PART. My step-mother has been going here since the late 1990's (Steve's has since moved to this newer location). I have been going to Steve's since about 2004, after her recommendation. I live in Atlanta proper and it is worth the drive to go to Steve's. I had an old Honda Civic that I was in denial over its condition and Steve's son (new owner) eventually told me I need to most likely get a new(er) car. I was forking over $thousands$ by this point to keep my Civic going. He was making money and would still have made a lot, but his honesty always comes forward. YOU CANNOT FIND THIS ANYMORE ANYWHERE. I feel well taken care of. This mechanic will always be honest. The prices are not the highest and I think they are pretty fair, if not on the low side. I'm a proud customer, even with my new car! I'm only doing oil changes these days instead of transmission replacements and catalytic converters, etc., however I am still treated just as well.  D Stewart Review

Steve's Automotive in Southeast Marietta now provides the GM 6T40 and 45E FWD and AWD Transmission Replacement Options from JASPER Engines & Transmissions.  These transmissions are available for the following 2008-2011 applications:  Chevrolet Equinox and Malibu  |  GMC Terrain  |  Pontiac G6  |  Saturn Aura  |  Buick Regal and LaCrosse

Once upon a time cars were simple: If the transmission didn’t shift right, you probably had a transmission problem. You took your car to the transmission shop and they fixed it. Simple, right? As with most stories that begin this way, times have changed. Today, when your car’s transmission isn’t shifting right, well, it could be the transmission, but there’s just as good a chance that it’s something else… something seemingly unrelated to the transmission.

Steve's Automotive in Marietta, GA is Transgo Tech Certified. Transmission repair has become more "Difficult and Complex" over the past few years! A classic statement, repeated each and every year since the beginning days of our industry. Not to diminish that statement "as it is very real" however these "Difficulties and Complexities" have always been and always will be a part of the transmission repair industry. All things considered the transmission repair industry throughout the years has incured many different changes, especially with the influx of instant internet communication and an industry filled with product advertising hype, which often includes "exaggerated, misleading and or outright false" claims.

Every so often you notice it: The transmission shifts a little late, or maybe it seems to miss a gear entirely. Then it’s okay again… for a little while. Worst of all, there’s no rhyme or reason behind the condition. One minute it’s fine, the next it’s not. So you pop the hood to check the transmission fluid level. Then you notice it: A big mountain of corrosion on the battery terminals. You’ll have to take care of that, but it can’t have anything to do with the transmission, right?

Prevention is better than cure. You've probably heard that said plenty of times. The phrase is most often used to talk about health and medicine, but it is just as valid to apply it to vehicles. It's great if your problem can be sorted without much trouble, but even better not to have a problem in the first place. This is especially true when it comes to your vehicle's transmission, as this can be one of the more specialized parts to repair. Not all transmission problems require an extensive overhaul, but they will all cause at least some trouble and inconvenience. Avoiding transmission problems is clearly preferable to even the problems that are quickest and cheapest repair. This is why it is important to ensure you take good care of your transmission. This will help prevent problems and keep it working smoothly. Ideally, it will mean that it doesn't develop any faults at all. Even if it does eventually go wrong, however, it is entirely possible that good care will mean the fault is less serious and easier to repair than it would have been otherwise.

Your transmission suddenly isn’t shifting right. So what’s wrong with it? Do you need your transmission rebuilt? Good question. Unfortunately, the answer is: No one knows. At least, not yet. To find out what’s causing your transmission problem, a technician is going to have to perform a series of tests. Basically, these tests are designed to answer the simple question: “Is it inside or outside?” That is, is the problem inside the transmission, or in one of the many control systems that operates the transmission?

Whether you have a car that's been sitting a little too long or a fleet that needs a basic check, Steve's Automotive in the Marietta, GA area can get your vehicle back on the road quickly, and we work with your insurance company to ensure you get the best repair job at a competitive price.
