hands turning a wrench on a car

If your transmission is slipping, what are your options? As you’ve seen, a variety of issues can cause a transmission to slip. Likewise, repairs differ widely depending on the issue. Here are some steps you should take to make sure your repair is as simple and cost-effective as possible.

The interval for the tire rotation could depend on a recommendation from either the tire manufacturer or the vehicle maker. The interval is typically around 5,000 miles but could range from 3,000 to 8,000 miles. So why do tires need to be rotated and how do you know when the right time is for your vehicle?

Most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle. Here at Hill's Motors Auto Repair in Childress, TX, we know where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability, and braking. Because of this, sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds.

Transmission malfunctions are sometimes hard to pin down and might even go unnoticed. A transmission slip can manifest itself in a lot of different ways because there’s not a universal or consistent way to describe it. Since it will vary based on the vehicle, how bad the issue is, and what components are at fault, here are some symptoms to look for in your vehicle.

Customer Review

Nothing is worse than being stranded miles away from home. This group was a life saver for us. Our transmission went out just outside of Childress. Jeremy pick us up and one of his colleagues towed the truck, they were willing to tow us home or to the shop where they had a new transmission that was ready to be installed. We opted for the install to get it taken care of. They recommended the ‘broke down discount’ at a local hotel where we stayed overnight. Within 24 hrs we were back on the road headed home. Highly recommend this group!
