Certi-Care Evaluation
Precise Diagnosis You Can Trust
Before recommending any major repair or replacement, our technicians perform a comprehensive Certi-Care Evaluation at every Certified Transmission location. This multi-point inspection helps pinpoint transmission and driveline concerns quickly and accurately.
The evaluation may include:
- Lifting the vehicle to inspect external controls and components for visible issues.
- Using advanced computerized scanners to check for trouble codes across key vehicle systems.
- Cross-referencing diagnostic results with manufacturer data to identify electronic or sensor-related problems that affect shifting and performance.
In many cases, this evaluation confirms that major transmission work isn’t needed—saving you time and money. It’s the first step toward an honest, transparent recommendation.
