Most Volkswagen models on the road today are equipped with an 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. Both transmissions are known for reliability, efficiency, and durability, but just like all mechanical systems – they won’t last forever. The Volkswagen transmission is a complicated system with a technical replacement service better left to certified technicians with sufficient experience. Be sure to visit Bill Jacobs Volkswagen if you want a new transmission installed by qualified technicians in a state-of-the-art facility.
A prompt inspection in response to transmission performance problems is recommended because this could be the difference between a minor issue getting maintenance versus catastrophic damage requiring replacement service. Here are common signs that your transmission needs attention:
An inspection is needed to diagnose transmission trouble and guide what service is needed to restore performance. We have certified technicians with hands-on training and experience working on transmissions just like yours. We will identify the problem, assess the service needed to fix the problem most efficiently, and make a service recommendation that provides the most value.
The inspection is for problem identification and allows us to calculate repair costs. Customers can then compare the cost of repairs to the cost of transmission replacement to determine what alternative provides the most value given the transmission’s miles. It becomes increasingly more valuable to replace the transmission as repair costs approach full replacement, especially for transmissions with higher miles.
We complete transmission replacement services using the technical service bulletin to specifications inside a state-of-the-art facility. We use a crew team service method, including multiple certified technicians, to ensure the job gets done right with a fast turnaround for this time-demanding technical service. We remove the old transmission, prepare the engine, and install a brand new genuine OEM transmission to factory specifications.
Local Volkswagen drivers in Naperville, Wheaton, Bolingbrook, Aurora, and Woodridge, IL, can schedule transmission services conveniently online or by phone during normal hours if preferred. Every transmission service includes a complimentary multi-point inspection to assist our customers in staying on top of overall vehicle maintenance.
