Fremont, CA – Reviewing Our Transmission Auto Repair Services for Land Rovers

Knowing that your car needs repair, but still driving it, can be a huge risk.

The staff at Fremont Foreign Auto can answer your questions and repair any transmission issues you might be having.

What Causes Transmission Issues in a Land Rover?

Most transmission issues in a luxury vehicle like a Land Rover are caused by a lack of transmission fluid. Because your transmission has a lot of moving parts and gears, the whole system needs constant lubrication. Without proper fluid levels, massive amounts of friction are produced as the pieces move, generating intense heat. Heat is the enemy of transmissions (just as in an engine), and if the issue gets severe enough, the transmission seizes up.

Can I Drive My Car with a Faulty Transmission?

The short answer is yes and no. Yes, you may be able to drive a car with a transmission issue, but eventually, the transmission will seize, and you will likely be stranded. As important as our vehicles are to our daily lives, there is no reason to drive your car with any kind of transmission issue. If your Land Rover begins to jerk or won’t shift into gear, it is best to have the car towed to the repair facility to prevent any additional damage.

Is Transmission Repair Expensive?

It depends on what’s wrong. Some transmission issues can be fixed with a relatively minor repair cost. Other repairs require the transmission to be replaced or rebuilt. Should you need to replace the transmission, you can expect to pay between $2,000 to $4,000. The staff at Fremont Foreign Auto can provide you with all the parts and labor costs upfront so that you can have all the information you need to make a good decision.

Will I have a Car to Drive, While Mine is in the Shop?

If your car is covered by a warranty, chances are the company has made a provision for a rental car. There may be a certain time or cost restriction, such as they will pay for only a certain amount of time or a certain amount of rental cost. The folks at Fremont Foreign Auto can help you determine exactly what is covered and whether you will need to find alternate transportation while your Land Rover is being repaired.
