Master AutoTech Pocatello diagnoses, services and repairs automatic and manual transmissions for drivers across Pocatello, Chubbuck and Inkom. 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 4th Avenue and the climb up the Portneuf Range heat transmission fluid and wear it out faster. Our shop is on North 4th Avenue in Old Town Pocatello, so we’re easy to reach before a small shifting problem turns into a rebuild.

What Pocatello Drivers Say
“One of the best shops around! Friendly crew and management. Honest with repairs needed as well as fair pricing to match. High quality work done in a timely manner as I’m a mom and don’t have much time to wait around. As a woman I’m afraid of shops taking advantage but the manager showed me the problems and explained the risks and how easy to fix it would be. 10/10 recommend and I will be returning and using this shop only!”
Bailey C
“Great place to take your vehicle for repairs, especially if you are in a time crunch. They will take great care of you and your vehicle. They do well with diagnosis, trouble shooting, communication, price quotes, time quotes, and especially getting you back on the road. Fair pricing and friendly service.”
Jess
“The team at Master Muffler did a great job with a total replacement of the Air Conditioning system in my 1999 GMC truck. I year later there was a malfunction with a part and they went the extra mile to get the system repaired. This is the best shop in Pocatello – their word is their bond.”
Todd Johnson
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 through Old Town Pocatello and climbing the Portneuf Range 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 Pocatello?
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.
