Automotive News & Information - Gossett Automotive

Leaky transmissions can be a pain, not only do they make a mess on the underside of your car, and in your driveway, but the transmission fluid is expensive and inconvenient to deal with. At Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX we want to provide you with some information on where transmission leaks start and how to end them so that maybe we can eliminate any future leaks.

Are you considering upgrading to a better transmission on your classic? Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX can help.

If you drive something old, there’s a good chance it has fewer gears than you’d like. With all the 6 and 8 speed transmissions on the road today, it’s hard to imagine that just a few decades ago we were getting by with just 2 or 3 gears. These days, there are some simple swap options - here are some things for you to consider.

At Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX, quality and precision are our top priority. For this reason, we employ ASE-certified technicians, to guarantee we’re the best in the business.

If you think your mechanic doesn’t have to deal with getting certified like other professionals, you are quite possibly mistaken. We say “quite possibly” because mechanics generally aren’t required by law to get certified in this country, so it’s conceivable that Bub down at the local filling station doesn’t have any meaningful credentials hanging on his wall. However, since the founding of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in 1972, a culture of professionalism has emerged and today about half of the country’s auto mechanics are ASE-certified. There are other kinds of certification, too, and other issues to consider when searching for the right mechanic. We’ll walk you through the details.

Great Experience here. I worked with Ray on a transmission replacement for a 2015 Nissan Quest. Nissan's have many transmission issues and as such replacement transmissions are expensive. I was quoted over $5000 by other shops for a used transmission with 100,000 miles. Ray worked to get me a BRAND NEW transmission and only charged $3500 installed. Ray is very responsive. I spent no time on hold. He told me when he was available and answered the phone. He communicated when they would be done and gave me updates. He also worked with me to get the vehicle towed from my house and to Waco to get the transmission programmed by Nissan. This wasn't necessary, but it allowed a 1-year warranty. Absolutely above and beyond work. High quality and good prices. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks!

Replaced the transmission on my Ford Contour. They towed me in- didn't talk down to me because I was a woman and tried to do the best and most cost effective job possible! - Anonymous (5 star review found on Angie's List)

Replaced the entire transmission and replaced all fluids etc on our Ford 550 truck and towed it to the shop from about 50 miles away. This is the second time we have used them and they will do all of our transmission work in the future. They are very cost conscious and replaced our transmission with a warranty etc instead of trying to rebuild it. They have always been fair and hoinest in their dealings and give us various options to choose from! - Anonymous (5 star review found on Angie's List)
