Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our St Augustine drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

Above and beyond! First time here, and I just needed an inspection. They were thorough and walked me through it! Highly recommend. Thank you to all who work there! - Laura B. (5 star review on Google)

Customer Review

★★★★★

Robert and his expert staff were great. They all were very friendly and accommodating, and stay a little late on a Friday night to get us back on the road in our RV. I'm sure Melvin would have been very proud of the way we were treated. Thanks and keep up the good work. Alvin Depew 1/8/20

Your car data owned by manufacturers now

Newer Vehicles Generate as Much As 25GB of Data/Hour according to McKinsey. Now That is Extremely Interesting! It is also daunting as we now need to know "what data" right? You also want to know where it is going if anywhere and who owns the data? All interesting questions that we never thought about. Just get in and drive, choose a destination and if a light goes off in the dash you call us here at Melvin's Auto & Truck Repair to schedule an appointment. We want our St Augustine drivers to be informed as always and able to make their choices based on having facts. This is a big change in the automotive-truck service industry and it really has not hit the news at all, so it is up to us to get you up-to-date and informed. Here are the facts and where you can find more information!
