Your vehicle’s engine and transmission are its most important and expensive components. When either starts to fail, quick action can be the difference between a minor repair and a costly replacement. For Troy and Roseville drivers, regular maintenance and early diagnosis are essential to keep these systems running smoothly.

Common Causes of Engine and Transmission Issues
