Common Chevrolet Silverado 1500 problems, and how we fix them
Older Silverados (4L60E) get slipping and harsh shifts from worn 3-4 clutches and TCC issues, often repairable without a full replacement. On 2009+ trucks the 6L80 develops torque-converter shudder and valve-body wear, especially on trucks that tow or run as fleet vehicles. We diagnose whether it's a repair or a rebuild, honestly, and we'll always tell you the most cost-effective fix for your truck, not the most expensive.
What success looks like
Diagnosed honestly, fixed right, back to work fast.
Kern County agencies, farms, and businesses run Silverados hard. We've kept local fleets moving since 1956, with priority scheduling and free towing on major repairs.

Worst-case rebuild, and they had it done in a day and a half. The guys worked late and came in early to get me back on the road.
