What Riverton Drivers Say

4.7 ★ · 527 Google reviews

“Fast service. Up front about problems and probable solutions. Did not over promise, nor did they under deliver. I’ve been driving on repairs from them for over a year now with zero problems. Highly recommend.”

Joe Wolsey

“Had them do our brakes. We’ve used them a handful of times and they’ve always been honest and a fair price. They have told us other things we need to fix but more than once have told us it’s probably not worth the cost vs. the age of the vehicle, so we are aware and can decide. Got us in more quickly than another place could.”

Deborah Bracken

“Amazing experience. Jay is very kind, quick, and knowledgeable about everything we needed. Good price and he was able to do emissions after fixing me up! Very speedy, quality service. Props to all the guys that work there!”

Tessa Howell

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 12600 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 Riverton?

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.

It can be. Long climbs, towing and stop-and-go traffic heat transmission fluid and wear it out faster. If you drive those roads often, have the fluid checked at our Riverton shop every 30,000 miles.

It depends on what’s wrong. A fluid service or solenoid is a modest repair; a rebuild is a major one. We diagnose first and give you an estimate for each option before any work starts.

A fluid service takes about an hour. Most repairs take a day or two. A rebuild can take several days depending on parts. We’ll give you a timeline after diagnosis.

Booking online or calling 801-436-5659 is best so we can schedule a road test. Walk-ins are welcome for a quick check.

Yes. Transmission repairs at Master AutoTech Riverton are covered by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty* on parts and labor.

It’s risky. Slipping can leave you without power when you need it, and driving on it usually turns a repair into a rebuild. Have it checked as soon as possible.

Yes. We service and repair automatics, CVTs and manual transmissions, including clutch replacement.
