Transmission slippage can be caused by a variety of factors which are sometimes difficult to pin down. From E & E Automotive Clinic in Okeechobee, FL, here’s a rundown of the more common issues that may cause a transmission to slip.

battery

As cars become more technologically advanced, the importance of your vehicle’s battery becomes more important. In the old days, a car battery essentially worked, or it didn’t; if it was good enough to start the car, it was good enough. Moderns vehicles are a different story. A faulty battery can cause a variety of issues, including engine codes, sensor failures, irregular transmission behavior, and the list goes on.

Battery failure often causes issues that are commonly misdiagnosed, and in the hands of the wrong auto repair shop, a mechanic may spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars chasing problems that don’t exist. At E & E Automotive Clinic in Okeechobee, FL, our mechanics are familiar with modern vehicles and the problems that accompany them.

Been bringing my car in for years. Taking a last minute trip out of town. Found a nail in the tire and needed an oil change. Made this happen even though they were super busy. Thanks Steve and staff!!!
