Automotive Repair Puyallup Straight Talk We know it's not any fun when something goes wrong with yourcar. Having repairs done can be a costly nerve-wracking experience. There are steps you can take, however, to save money and reduce your anxieties. We've prepared this page to tell you those steps and to answer some of the common questions we are asked about automotive service. A consumer might easily miss a symptom. Unless the vehicle is brought in, so a trained technician can see, or hear, the difference between a rattle, buzz, grind, whine, or a slip. We simply can't be sure of what's wrong with your car until we take a look inside. Nobody can. Symptoms like noises, leaks or vibrations can signal a wide range of possible problems, not necessarily a single malfunction. Many malfunctions occurring with cars may be caused by a component outside the engine or transmission like a Throttle Position Sensor, a Map sensor, or even a simple fuse. We give your transmission a thorough diagnosis to absolutely know what's causing the symptom. If anyone ever tells you he can accurately diagnose what's wrong with your transmission without a thorough diagnosis (which may include looking inside), you'd better get a second opinion.
