Awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, HONEST & affordable. These are just a few of the words I can use to describe the folks at Advanced Transmission. This is our 2nd time using their services, & we are more than pleased! This visit ended up not even being related to our transmission but they were able to diagnose & repair the issue in a very timely manner and had us back on the road within 48 hours. Thanks Advanced Transmission!!

I just heard the best testimonial about Advanced Transmission on Archangel Radio. The customer experienced honesty & integrity rather than being taken advantage of for the sake of money to be made. So good to hear of a business that still places the customer’s best interest over making a dishonest dollar!

Great experience. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Didn't do any work that wasn't authorized. Gave tips to correct other problems. Will definitely return for future service.
- Donald W. Atmore, AL (Mar. 2018)

Great Experience with the entire process. This is our third vehicle we taken to them and as expected Great Work. Friendly staff and fast service. Was able to tell us about recall information and fixed everything that needed repairs.

I cannot recommend this business enough to everyone in need of transmission service. I was notified of every move they made and exactly what they were going to do in regards to costs. They were cordial and professional in every manner. In my case, specifically, because I was broken down and on my way home to Florida, they had me out of there as quickly as they could. THEY WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOU!!!! Thanks Advanced Transmission!!!
- Ty B. Melbourne Beach, FL (Feb. 2018)

Excellent customer service. Great people to work with. They determined the issue with my transmission & it was very reasonable on the cost of the work.
- William M. Robertsdale, AL (Feb. 2018)

Laura & her crew helped us with our customer in her area get back on the road. Seeing how we are located in South Carolina, working was much appreciated.

At Advanced Transmission, we like to show our customers exactly what is wrong with their vehicle in pictures when we can. 
Or in this case, why we had to charge for extra labor. 
Check out what happened to this 2015 Chevy Equinox! 

The car would not come out of park so Marvin had to take the entire front apart...



He finally got to the shifter assembly to see what was wrong...


The screw on the top of the solenoid loosened causing the actuator rod to slip out of its placement! All of this work and time for one tiny screw! 


Thank goodness that it wasn't anything more serious! We tightened the heck out of the screw and put everything back together so our customer could get back on the road. 
These pictures really helped the customer understand the problem and she was really excited that it was not a major transmission repair!

How to extend the life of your vehicles transmission

Extending The Life of your vehicles Transmission by having an External Transmission Cooler installed
    
 A lot of things that can reduce the life of your car’s transmission, from poor driving habits to not having regular recommended services, but the leading cause of damage to automatic transmissions is heat.

                                        Increasing the Life of Your Transmission
     The transmission cooler is designed to help extract heat from the transmission: Transmission fluid runs through the cooler, releasing heat to the coolant in the radiator. That coolant, in turn, releases heat to the air passing over the fins. The cooled transmission fluid then returns to the transmission, to keep it running cool.
     For most normal driving, the factory cooler is adequate to help keep everything safe. But under extreme circumstances you may need more cooling capacity than the factory cooler can provide to help extend transmission life.
     Circumstances like what? One is towing, anything! If you have a camper, trailer, or boat, towing it will increase the heat in your transmission dramatically.












     Another is where you drive. On generally flat roads, the factory transmission cooler should be fine. But if you do a lot of driving on extreme grades, such as through the mountains, your transmission will be working overtime. And if you’re towing a trailer at the same time, that could be death for your transmission.






Use A Transmission Cooler To Reduce The Heat
     In those cases, your best bet is to have an auxiliary transmission cooler added to the system. An auxiliary cooler is like a little radiator that mounts in front of the regular radiator. Transmission fluid gets piped through the cooler to remove more heat than the factory cooler can, and it’ll keep your transmission running cooler in even the most difficult terrain. If you are already having an overhaul, here at Advanced Transmission, adding an external transmission will prevent re-contamination 


 


     Heat can be a killer for your transmission, but here at Advanced Transmission, Spanish Fort can help protect you from that heat, and keep you on the road for miles and miles.
