Automatic transmissions aren’t easily understood outside of specialists like those at Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, WA.

So, you’ve determined your transmission is bad. What next? Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, WA is here to help.

There are a few things to consider when your transmission goes out. You might feel inclined to just get a new car...but should you? Here are some factors to think about.

Obviously, your brakes are pretty important. At Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, WA, we are here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops like it should.

Your brake system is made of many components that all have to work correctly for your brakes to operate seamlessly. If one thing needs to be repaired, the whole system is compromised. Brake pads, rotors, hoses, calipers, and metal lines all play a part in stopping your car. Our team is equipped to make sure all of those parts are in working order, so you can be safe on the road ahead.

Obviously, the dirtier your fuel system is, the bigger the improvement you will see in performance and fuel economy after a fuel system cleaning. But it is important not to wait until your system is running poorly. If you do, by the time you get a cleaning, you’ve wasted hundreds of dollars in gas or even possibly damaged your fuel injectors and catalytic converter.

At Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, we know the key to making your vehicle last; good maintenance. An overwhelming percentage of the problems we see, especially the really catastrophic ones, are a result of poor maintenance. While properly maintaining a vehicle can seem a like a bit of a hassle, it is absolutely worth the payoff. Good maintenance is the only difference between a car that lasts 80,000 miles and a car that lasts 400,000 miles. Preventative maintenance and repair when a problem occurs are are your two concerns, and both will keep your car on the road far longer, if observed properly.

With all fleets and commercial vehicles, there comes a time you have to decide - do we fix this vehicle, or replace it? At Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, WA, we’re here to help you figure that out.
