Master AutoTech Kearns diagnoses, services and repairs automatic and manual transmissions for drivers across Kearns, Taylorsville and West Valley City. 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 5400 South and the climb up the canyons heat transmission fluid and wear it out faster. Our shop is on 5400 South near the Kearns Library, so we’re easy to reach before a small shifting problem turns into a rebuild.

What Kearns Drivers Say
“My boyfriend took his suburban in to get his muffler fix, did good quick work for a good price. Paid exactly what we were quoted when we called and wasn’t waiting long to get back on the road.”
Alana Mason
“Great place to go, reasonable prices and they take care of you quickly. I had my rims put on and shocks replaced. Wonderful people to do business with. Recommend them highly!”
Tania King
“***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** “Amazing work on replacing my 2015 Ford Edge transfer case and drive shaft!! Big job, but these guys did it. So grateful for the whole process and commitment to get it done.”
Carmen Ramirez
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 5400 South and climbing the canyons 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 Kearns?
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.
