What’s More Cost Efficient? Automatic or Manual?
Automatic Transmission or Manual? Gas Isn’t Getting Cheaper
With fuel prices reaching $5 bucks a gallon, Americans are looking to get the most bang for their buck. Engine efficiency is often most examined when looking for those valuable MPG’s. But what happens when your transmission also plays a role? As it turns out, manual transmissions used to hold an efficiency advantage over their automatic transmission counterparts, but advances in technology have turned the tables.
Today, a modern, automatic transmission is lighter and doesn’t slip like older torque converters used to. Furthermore, their lifespan is usually on par with the cost of several manual transmission clutch replacements, meaning they’ve also beginning to edge out manuals in not just power and fuel economy, but longevity too.

Some wonder how much longer manual transmissions will be around, given the trend towards dual-clutch transmissions in sports cars.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Told me they could’ve put a new axle in for $300-400, and that might’ve fixed it for a week, but then we’d be back to square one. I really appreciated the fact that he didn’t try to take advantage of us. Needing a new transmission isn’t good news, but these guys are great.
Susan S.
They quoted me $1,000 less, a completion date of next day, and they would pick up my car from the dealer for free. My car now drives better than when it was brand new.
Michael A.
Towed my car from the other shop for free, and let me know that they were out of stock for a part but had it overnighted at no additional charge. Finally they offered to deliver the car to my office. I only wish all mechanic shops could operate like this one.
David W.
I would recommend this business to all my friends and family if they were near. All the employees at All Automatic Transmission took a really crappy situation, and made it a lot more bearable.
Diane G.
After a 30 mile tow to their shop I meet them and they tell me worst case I need to rebuild my transmission, but they can do it in a day and a half. They even had their guys work late and come in early to get the car ready for me ASAP.
