Automotive Industry News & Information - Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited

At Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited in Jacksonville, FL, we know that transmissions are witchcraft to most people. More often than not, if major damage has occurred, it’s a lot more time and cost effective to just replace the entire unit and get a fresh start. Here’s what to look out for, from Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited in Jacksonville, FL.

If you drive a lightweight car, truck, or SUV, the torque converter you have installed is probably just fine. For those of you with more heavy duty applications, like high horsepower setups or towing rigs, the stock converter may not be enough. At Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited in Jacksonville, FL, we can help with that.

Our fleet truck customers do not need to spend valuable time in the shop with transmission issues due that could have been avoided by servicing their fleet vehicles based on their owner's manual recommendations! Especially if it is simply changing a clogged filter, changing fluids or clutch issues! Our transmission technicians here at Alvie's Transmission Service Unlimited in Jacksonville believe that service = saving high repair bills! Therefore, we believe in a proactive approach!

Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Jacksonville drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

Kindness & Courtesy - On 9/27/2019, my vehicle was towed to Alvie's Transmission shop for evaluation/repair. I was totally overwhelmed with his concern and kindness; because I had previously been ripped off by another mechanic shop. Even though he found my vehicle to be un-repairable, I was so grateful that he took the time to check it. I will highly recommend his repair business to others!

I was dreading going to see what was wrong with my 2009 F150 Lariat, it was making a racket and driving badly & getting worse by the day. Alvie & I took a short test drive, and he gave me the bad news I was denying, It was the transmission & I needed a new one. Best decision I made was to choose his locally owned shop over the others. Honest, fair price, straight forward and best of all, I got my truck back when he said I would, for the price we agreed on!! It’s been almost a month now and truck is driving great, thanks! Alvie, for a job well done !! - James M. (5 star review on Google)
