Transmission Repair Service in Chicago, IL

Transmission Repair Service in Chicago, IL

Because automobiles are such complex pieces of machinery, there are many aspects that need to be accounted for in order to maintain the ideal level of performance. The transmission is one of the key components, and we at Evergreen Kia want to give you the necessary knowledge to keep it properly maintained!

The Purpose Of a Transmission

Before we dive into how you can best care for your vehicle’s transmission, let’s first go over what purpose it serves. Whether you’re driving down the busy I-90 or taking tight turns through the Chicago roads, your vehicle is always shifting gears and it requires a working transmission to do so. This is how the accelerating and decelerating process happens smoothly as you ride. However, since most vehicles have automatic transmissions, you don’t have to pay attention to this aspect of driving in the same way you do when operating a vehicle that has a shift stick and gearbox. The latter system requires you to make each gear shift manually, and while that has certain benefits, the majority of drivers still prefer automatic transmissions.

How To Keep a Transmission In Working Condition

A transmission is always being used to some degree, so the easiest way to predict when it will start running out of steam is by the amount of miles it’s driven. As a general rule of thumb, getting it serviced every two years or 30,000 miles is a safe routine to follow. However, we always recommend checking your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for more accurate information, as every car is different. Rough idling, leaking transmission fluid, and slow, unsteady acceleration are all common signs that it’s time to get things under the hood checked out. When you notice any of those ahead of your next trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo, make sure you plan a visit to our Service Department to figure out exactly what’s going on with your vehicle!

Our Service And Parts Department

Sometimes a transmission is still in good enough condition to be salvaged, whereas other times it’s too far gone and an entirely new one needs to be installed. In either case, we have the right quality parts and trained mechanics who know their way around them. This way, you can feel confident when you get behind the wheel after an appointment at our location! To reserve a time slot in advance, use our website to schedule your service ahead of your visit and also be sure to check out our current specials to potentially save some money on your next maintenance.

What Is The Purpose Of a Transmission?

  • A transmission allows for gear shifts to happen, so without a properly working one, you'll have far less smooth driving experiences.

Don't Let Your Vehicle's Transmission Hinder You!

Joe and John were a great tag team to ensure that I received a great experience, they were transparent, upfront, and did not send me in circles. I was in and out in 120 minutes, I received the SUV that I wanted and they did not try and sale me on anything extra that I did not need! Great team, atmosphere was friendly and everyone spoke and they were excited for me to ring the bell. I would definitely refer someone here and they ensured that any Kia concerns were addressed! Thanks Fellas! Keep making customers feel valued!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Evergreen Kia, and that’s all because of Casey Jones. He made what’s usually a stressful process feel effortless and exciting. Casey was honest, attentive, and truly cared about making sure I got exactly what I wanted. This was hands down the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Evergreen Kia is lucky to have him!

Shout out to Casey who felt like more of an advocate than a sales person. Also thank you to management who approved the great deal that we got! I would say to anyone buying a Kia, it only males sense to buy it here due to the benefits and warranties given by this particular dealership location.
