I often hear complaints from friends around me. Why do I ask the repair shop how much the automatic gearbox repair cost in the early stage, the repair shop is always vague and can't give a price?

In fact, this is not because the repair shop deliberately did not quote, but the price of the gearbox repair does vary.

I often hear complaints from friends around me. Why do I ask the repair shop how much the automatic gearbox repair cost in the early stage, the repair shop is always vague and can't give a price? In fact, this is not because the repair shop deliberately did not quote, but the price of the gearbox repair does vary.

The general maintenance cost of automatic transmission mainly depends on the following items:

1. Look at the car model and gearbox model

The automatic transmissions of different configurations are very different. For example, the maintenance cost of the 01M and 01N series automatic transmissions of the old Volkswagen Bora and Passat will not be high. But if it is a new Bora, Octavia, etc., the price of a gearbox above 09G or 5HP-19 will not be cheap. Because the previous gearboxes were generally 4 speeds and 5 speeds, the internal structure of the gearbox was relatively less complicated. On the other hand, it is easier to judge the cause of the failure in the car repaired by maintenance technicians.

2. Trouble phenomenon and damaged parts of the car

The basic parts in the automatic gearbox are hydraulic torque converter, transmission gear mechanism, oil control system, automatic shift control system, and shift control mechanism. The subdivision can be divided into valve body, piston, drum, sprocket and so on. The cost price of each part is different, and the degree of damage is different. For example, there is a problem with the clutch plate of the car, so the price will vary whether to repair the clutch plate or replace it.

3. Gearbox hardware problem or electronic circuit problem

If it is internal hardware parts wear and tear, the price will be lower, if there is a problem with the electronic circuit, the price will not be low, and it will even more than double.

4. The popularity of models

If it is a rare model, the parts on the market are not easy to find, which will increase the cost of parts.

In addition, other factors, such as whether the car owner wants an overhaul or a minor repair, whether the car’s breakdown is complicated, etc., will affect the cost.

Then some people have to ask, if there is no way to give an accurate quotation for automatic transmission maintenance, then it can only be "still slaughtered"? Of course not. What I said above is that it is difficult for the repair shop to give an accurate price when the car is not tested in the early stage.

If your car has an automatic gearbox failure, you can find some professional automatic gearbox repair companies. There are many such companies such as Tenghua. The preliminary inspection is free of charge, and the repair shop can give it after inspection. A rough quotation, and then consider whether to repair in this company.
