"I definitely would recommend mid-state, they completely rebuilt my transmission on my work van a month ago and I have already put over 500 miles on it with no issues whatsoever. Very happy with their service."
Jonny Helmich
"I had my transmission fixed about four years ago and it still runs great. They fix other parts and never had any problems. This is the only auto doctor that I trust out of the whole Saline County."
Lori Lewis
"I can not thank Wyatt and the team over here enough. I brought my truck limping in after being on the road for 5h from out of town. And on a Friday afternoon of all times.... and they worked to get me back on the road that same afternoon. Great people. Knowledgeable. Honest. And considerate."
Stephen Higginbotham
"They did a great job in working me in so I didn't have to wait more than an hour and a half. Thank you"

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our services
How long does a transmission repair typically take?
The time required depends on the extent of the repairs needed. A simple repair might take 1-2 days, while a full transmission rebuild can take 3-5 business days. We'll provide you with an accurate timeline after our diagnostic assessment.
Do you offer a warranty on your transmission work?
Yes! We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. Our transmission rebuilds come with a Bumper to Bumper warranty, and we use quality parts to ensure lasting repairs. Ask us about specific warranty terms for your service.
What are common signs that my transmission needs repair?
Common warning signs include slipping gears, delayed or rough shifting, transmission fluid leaks (red or brown fluid under your vehicle), grinding or shaking during gear changes, a burning smell, or the check engine light coming on. If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle in for a diagnostic check.
Do you work on both automatic and manual transmissions?
Absolutely! Our ASE certified mechanics are experienced in servicing and repairing both automatic and manual transmissions across all makes and models of domestic and foreign vehicles.
How much does a transmission repair cost?
Costs vary widely depending on the type of repair needed. Minor repairs may cost a few hundred dollars, while a complete rebuild can range from $1,500 to $3,500 or more. We provide free estimates and will explain all costs upfront before beginning any work.
Do you offer towing services if my car won't drive?
Yes, we offer 24/7 towing services to get your vehicle to our shop safely. If your transmission has failed and your vehicle isn't drivable, give us a call and we'll arrange to have it towed to our facility.
How often should I have my vehicle serviced?
We recommend following your manufacturer's maintenance schedule, but generally you should have an oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles (or as specified for synthetic oil), brake inspection every 12,000 miles, and a full vehicle inspection annually. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs down the road.
What does a check engine light mean?
The check engine light can indicate a wide range of issues, from a loose gas cap to more serious engine or emissions problems. We offer free diagnostic scans to read the trouble codes and determine the exact cause. Don't ignore this warning—bring your vehicle in for a check.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes, we service all domestic and foreign vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Our ASE certified technicians are trained to work on Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and many more.
How do I know if my brakes need replacing?
Signs that your brakes need attention include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, the vehicle pulling to one side when braking, vibration in the steering wheel, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. We recommend having your brakes inspected if you notice any of these symptoms.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), debit cards, and personal checks. We also offer financing options for larger repairs to help make your auto service more affordable.
Do you provide estimates before starting work?
Yes, we always provide a detailed written estimate before beginning any repairs. We'll explain what work needs to be done, the cost of parts and labor, and answer any questions you have. We won't proceed with any additional work without your approval.
