Keep Your Vehicle Moving: Expert Transmission Services at Donny’s Automotive

When it comes to keeping your vehicle running smoothly, few components are as critical as your transmission. Whether you drive a domestic sedan, an import SUV, or manage a fleet of work trucks, your transmission is the heart of your vehicle’s ability to move, shift, and perform safely. At Donny’s Automotive LLC, Albuquerque’s trusted veteran-owned repair shop, we understand how essential reliable transmission service is—and we’re here to deliver the expertise, transparency, and value you deserve.

Why Transmission Health Matters

Your transmission is responsible for transferring power from your engine to the wheels, allowing your vehicle to change gears and adjust to different speeds and driving conditions. A healthy transmission ensures smooth acceleration, efficient fuel use, and prevents costly breakdowns. Unfortunately, transmission issues can develop subtly over time—often starting as minor symptoms like slipping gears, delayed shifting, or strange noises.

Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to major repairs, breakdowns, or even total transmission failure. That’s why proactive maintenance and expert repair are so important, and why Donny’s Automotive has made transmission services a core part of what we offer to the Albuquerque community.

Comprehensive Transmission Services—Any Make, Any Model

At Donny’s Automotive, we pride ourselves on being a full-service shop for all transmission needs. Our certified technicians are trained to work on both automatic and manual transmissions, for all makes and models—including domestic, import, gas, and diesel vehicles. Our expertise covers:

  • Transmission Diagnostics: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we pinpoint issues quickly and accurately to save you time and money.

  • Transmission Fluid Changes: Regular fluid changes (recommended every 50,000 miles) keep your transmission lubricated and running cool, extending its lifespan.

  • Transmission Repairs: From minor fixes to full rebuilds, we handle all types of repairs, including clutch replacement, solenoid repairs, and more.

  • Transmission Replacements & Swaps: When repairs aren’t enough, we can replace or swap your transmission with new, rebuilt, or remanufactured units—sourced from trusted suppliers.

  • Preventative Maintenance: We offer inspections and tune-ups to catch issues early and keep your transmission performing at its best.

Transparent Estimates & Customer Consent

We know that transmission repairs can be a big decision. That’s why we always provide a clear, detailed estimate before any work begins. We’ll explain your options, answer your questions, and only proceed with your written or verbal consent. If we discover additional issues during the repair process, we’ll reach out for your approval before moving forward—no surprises, ever.

Veteran-Owned Values: Fairness, Affordability, and Community

Since opening in 2018, Donny’s Automotive has built a reputation for honesty, fairness, and community service. As a veteran-owned and operated business, we believe in treating every customer with respect and integrity. That means:

  • No Price Inflation: We never mark up parts. You pay what we pay, guaranteed.

  • Competitive Labor Rates: Our labor rate is $135/hour for non-fleet customers—often lower than big chain shops.

  • Discounts for Heroes: Teachers, government and state employees, first responders, military, and medical staff receive special discounts.

  • Price Match Promise: Show us a competitor’s written quote for parts or labor, and we’ll beat it

Signs You Might Need Transmission Service

Not sure if your transmission needs attention? Watch for these common warning signs:

  • Slipping gears or delayed shifting

  • Unusual noises (clunking, whining, or humming)

  • Leaking reddish fluid under your vehicle

  • Burning smells from the engine bay

  • Check engine light or transmission warning light

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait! Early intervention can save you thousands and prevent roadside breakdowns.
