What is This Slippage You Speak of?
When Your Car Won’t Accelerate…
You’ve probably heard the term before, either mentioned by a mechanic, or read about online. However, if you’re still finding yourself unsure of what slippage is or what it looks like, this post will quickly get you up to speed. (Unlike a car suffering from the condition.)
Serious Issues
In short, slippage is a condition where the engine generates power that the transmission is unable to transmit to the wheels. This can show a few different ways, but most commonly the engine will “surge” or lurch when shifting between gears. Slippage also shows up during acceleration.
Throughout acceleration, the tachometer, also known as “the engine RPM thingy,” will rise as you press the gas pedal, but vehicle speed will remain constant or rise slower than what the engine is demanding. Either indicator could be slippage.
The Good News:
If your transmission isn’t grabbing power the way it should be, there is some good news. Often times a transmission band adjustment or brief tune-up is all that’s required to correct the problem. Give us a call today with your automatic transmission issues and we’ll get you back on the road in no time.

What Our Clients Are Saying
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
