Transmission Fluid Flush and Replacement
We drain old, degraded, or contaminated transmission fluid and replace it with high-quality, vehicle-specific fluid to maintain smooth shifting and extend the lifespan of your transmission. Using specialized equipment, we flush the entire system, including the torque converter and cooler lines, to remove dirt, metal particles, and sludge. This service prevents slipping, overheating, and premature wear, ensuring reliable gear changes, improved fuel efficiency, and long-term transmission health.
Transmission Rebuild or Repair
We disassemble your transmission to inspect and repair or replace internal components, such as clutches, gears, seals, or solenoids, addressing issues like rough shifting, slipping, or unusual noises. Our technicians use precision tools and OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts to restore proper function, opting for a full rebuild if extensive damage is found. This service extends transmission life, restores drivability, and provides a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
Engine Diagnostic and Repair
We diagnose engine issues, such as misfires, low compression, or rough idling, using advanced diagnostic tools to analyze error codes, sensors, and performance metrics. Our technicians repair components like gaskets, valves, timing belts, or fuel delivery systems, addressing root causes to restore power and efficiency. This service eliminates warning lights, improves fuel economy, and prevents further damage, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably for daily driving or high-performance needs.
Engine Swap
We remove a damaged, worn, or underperforming engine and install a new or refurbished engine, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model. This service includes reconnecting all necessary systems—fuel, cooling, exhaust, and electrical—and performing precise tuning for optimal performance. An engine swap restores vehicle reliability, enhances power, and extends lifespan, offering a cost-effective solution for severe engine failure or an upgrade for improved performance.
Clutch Replacement
We replace a worn or slipping clutch assembly, including the clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing, to restore smooth gear engagement and drivability in manual transmission vehicles. Our technicians inspect related components, such as the flywheel, and use high-quality, vehicle-specific parts to ensure durability and precise operation. This service eliminates clutch chatter, slipping, or hard shifting, improving control and ensuring a responsive driving experience.

How do I know if my vehicle needs a transmission or engine service, and what triggers a swap?
You may need service if you notice symptoms like jerky gear changes, transmission fluid leaks, engine knocking, reduced power, or warning lights (e.g., check engine). A swap is typically needed for catastrophic engine failure or when repairs exceed the cost of replacement. Village Auto Service’s technicians use advanced diagnostics to assess your vehicle’s condition, recommending repairs like clutch replacement or fluid flushes for minor issues, or an engine swap for severe damage, ensuring cost-effective solutions.
