Engine & Transmission Services
Pasadena MD Engine & Transmission Services
At European Auto Care, we know what it feels like when your car — especially a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, or Volvo — doesn’t respond like it used to. The shifting gets rougher. The engine hesitates. That familiar drive becomes stressful. We’ve been there. And that’s why we don’t just “fix cars.” We restore peace of mind.
Why Engine & Transmission Care Matters for European Cars
Common Issues We See in European Engines & Transmissions
- Slipping gears or hesitation when accelerating
- Engine misfires or rough idling
- Oil, coolant, or transmission fluid leaks
- Strange noises: clunks, whines, or grinding when shifting or accelerating
Long-Term Risks of Neglecting Powertrain Maintenance
Ignoring these issues can lead to costly repairs — blown head gaskets, damaged gearboxes, failed clutches, or even engine failure. For European cars, poorly maintained powertrains also reduce lifespan and resale value, and can void warranties.
Our Engine & Transmission Services — What We Offer
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
We begin with a thorough diagnostic using advanced tools to check fuel injection, ignition, exhaust, emissions, timing belts or chains, and sensors. From tune-ups and leak repairs to full engine rebuilds or replacements, we handle every step — using OEM parts or high-quality equivalents.
Transmission Fluid, Filter, & Gearbox Maintenance
Regular transmission maintenance is the easiest way to extend the life of your gearbox. We perform fluid exchanges, filter replacements, and inspections — often same-day — to keep shifting smooth and prevent wear.
Full Transmission Repair & Rebuild
If your transmission needs deeper work — clutch replacement, gearbox rebuild, differential maintenance, or full replacement — our ASE-certified, factory-trained technicians have the skills and experience. We treat your automobile with dealer-level tools and care, without the dealer price tag.
