Master AutoTech Millcreek diagnoses, services and repairs automatic and manual transmissions for drivers across Millcreek, Holladay and the east bench. We tell you whether you need a fluid service, a repair or a rebuild before any work starts, and back the work with our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty*.
Stop-and-go traffic on Highland Drive and climbing the east bench heat up transmission fluid and wear it out faster. Our shop is on Highland Drive just south of 3300 South, so we’re easy to reach before a small shifting problem turns into a rebuild.

What Millcreek Drivers Say
“I’ve been coming to Millcreek automotive for a long time. They were always fair honest and has always done a good job. I came in recently and was shocked that they changed ownership. Only to learn that they haven’t really changed. They still have the same employees. They just spruced up the place a bit. Good mechanics are hard to find and would definitely recommend this place”

“These folks have cared for my cars for years and I highly recommend them. Their quality is very good and they are very good listeners to work with. I highly recommend.”

How Often Should You Service Your Transmission?
Most automatic transmissions need a fluid service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles; check your owner’s manual, because some “lifetime” fluids still benefit from changing. Towing, stop-and-go traffic on Highland Drive and 3300 South and climbing Millcreek Canyon heat the fluid and break it down faster.
| Driving condition | Recommended fluid service |
|---|---|
| Normal commuting | Every 50,000–60,000 miles |
| Towing, hauling or mountain driving | Every 30,000 miles |
| Manual transmission | Every 30,000–60,000 miles |
| CVT | Follow the manufacturer schedule closely |
Signs You Need Transmission Repair
Catching transmission problems early can mean a repair instead of a rebuild. Watch for:
- Slipping gears or RPMs that climb without acceleration
- Rough, harsh or delayed shifts
- A delay before the car moves in Drive or Reverse
- Red or brown fluid under the vehicle
- A burning smell after driving
- Whining, clunking or humming noises
- The check engine or transmission warning light
How Much Does Transmission Repair Cost in Millcreek?
Transmission costs range from a fluid service to a full rebuild, so diagnosis comes first. Price depends on the transmission type (automatic, manual or CVT), what failed, and your vehicle. Many shifting problems are solved with a solenoid, sensor or fluid service rather than a rebuild. We’ll explain every option and price before we start.
Need to spread out the cost? Master AutoTech offers several financing options, including the Goodyear Credit Card (6-month special financing on purchases of $250 or more), the Synchrony Car Care credit card, the 1stMILE Mastercard, Snap Finance, Acima, Surepay and RC Willey financing.
