Your transmission is what converts engine power into forward motion, shifting through gears automatically or manually depending on your vehicle. At E1 Auto Care in Arlington, we provide transmission fluid exchanges (every 30,000-60,000 miles), transmission repair, and complete transmission replacement using quality used or remanufactured units. Transmission problems range from simple fluid changes to complete failure requiring replacement. Texas heat and the stop-and-go traffic on I-20 and I-30 are hard on transmissions—hot running conditions accelerate fluid breakdown and internal wear. We diagnose before we recommend, so you know exactly what's wrong and what it will cost to fix.

“At the risk of people being similar to myself, and skimming over the five star reviews…. I hope a lot of people get to read this.Integrity. That’s the word I would use to best describe E1. After finding them, No one else will ever put their hands on my vehicles again. The work they do is outstanding, with great amount of quality in a decent amount of time. They took great care of both my wife’s car and my vehicle.After a very costly nightmare situation with my wife’s car, they took it in and diagnosed it correctly. Then fixed it on the first try. They keep you informed, and they stand by their word.It was also a nice bonus to find out that they’re as bigger of car guys as I am. They take pride in their work, they keep their word and it shows in the end product. I appreciate them and will forever be bringing my vehicles to them as long as I live in the area.A sincere thank you to Ernest and the gang..”

Repairs and services we do with parts we supply are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, on parts and labor. Oil changes, inspections and other basic upkeep aren't covered. If something we fixed isn't right, bring it back.
