Maintenance & Preventative Care
Q: How often should I change my transmission fluid?
A: Most vehicles need a transmission fluid change every 30,000–60,000 miles. However, if you drive in Arlington’s hot climate or do a lot of stop-and-go driving, you may need it sooner.

Brakes, Suspension & Safety Systems
Q: How do I know if my brakes need replacement?
A: Squeaking, grinding, or longer stopping distances are clear warning signs. If your brake pedal feels soft or your steering wheel shakes when braking, it’s time for service.
Q: Do you replace shocks and struts?
A: Yes, our Arlington team offers shock and strut replacement. If your car feels bouncy, sways on turns, or dips when braking, your suspension may need attention.
Q: What happens if I ignore brake problems?
A: Driving with worn brakes puts you and others at risk. It can also damage your rotors, leading to more expensive repairs later.
Engine Diagnostics & Check Engine Light
Q: My check engine light is on. Should I panic?
A: Not necessarily, but don’t ignore it! The light could mean a small issue, like a loose gas cap, or something more serious, like a failing sensor. Our diagnostic tools will identify the exact problem.
Q: How much does an engine diagnostic test cost?
A: At Eagle Transmission Shop in Arlington, we offer free transmission diagnostics, and engine diagnostic testing is affordable and transparent. We’ll give you the results before recommending repairs.
Q: Can you fix electrical and sensor issues?
A: Yes, we handle most electrical and sensor repairs, including oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors, ignition coils, and more.
Cooling System & Texas Heat
Q: Why is my car overheating?
A: Overheating can be caused by low coolant, a failing water pump, a clogged radiator, or a broken thermostat. Arlington summers can be tough on cooling systems, so don’t wait to get it checked.
Q: Do you service radiators and water pumps?
A: Absolutely. We provide radiator flushes, water pump replacement, and complete cooling system repair to keep your engine from overheating.

What is the cost of a transmission check-up?
Eagle Transmission offers free diagnostics and road tests for everyone!
How long does a transmission diagnostic take?

What is being done when my transmission is checked and scanned?
During a transmission diagnostic, your vehicle will be connected to our system to thoroughly clarify the cause of the problem. Additionally, a physical check-up will also be done by our transmission experts to come up with a conclusive report regarding your vehicle's repair needs. Diagnostics can be performed even if you think your vehicle is perfectly fine.
What is the cost for transmission fluid & filter change?
There is no "one size fits all when it comes to transmission fluid & filter changes. At Eagle Transmission, a fluid & filter change may be as low as $89.95 depending on the year /make/model of your vehicle. Many of today's high-tech transmissions require special blends of fluids, some of which are manufacture specific. Synthetic transmission fluids are becoming more of the norm in many transmission applications. Many front-wheel drive vehicles require additional labor to access the filter as well. We provide our customers with transmission service that is specific to their vehicle, therefore, there may be considerable variation in the actual cost for a transmission fluid & filter service.
What is the average cost of repairing a transmission?
There is no average cost to repair a transmission. Often there is a misconception between repairing a transmission and rebuilding a transmission. A typical transmission rebuild involves:
- The removal of the unit
- Complete disassembly Replacing all of the seals and gaskets Replacing any of the damaged bearings gears or drums
- Replacing or rebuilding the valve body Replacing the solenoid packs as needed
- Installing a reconditioned torque converter
- Perform any factory suggested updates
A transmission repair may be as simple as replacing external speed sensors at a much lower price than a complete transmission rebuild.
