About This Site and How to Contact It

What this site is

Transmission Service Cost is an independent reference site about one question: what work on a car's transmission costs in the United States, from a fluid service to a full replacement. It is run by a small private publisher. It is not a repair shop, a parts seller, a dealer or a referral service, and it does not take payment from the businesses named on its pages.

The site exists because the pages that answer this question usually give a price range with no source and no date. Here every figure is tied to the document or the business page that prints it, and to the day it was read.

Who it is for

It is for a car owner who has a quote in hand, or is about to ask for one, and wants to see what the parts of that quote are made of. It is not a substitute for the service information of a specific vehicle or for a diagnosis by a technician who has the car in front of them.

What the site does not do

• It does not give a price for your car in your town. It shows prices that named businesses print, and the arithmetic behind a quote.
• It does not rank shops or recommend one.
• It does not sell or advertise parts, fluid or services.
