Worn/Burnt Clutches - Your truck’s transmission is packed with clutches that allow it to engage or disengage. If they’ve become worn or damaged, they won’t work properly, and your transmission will slip. Typically, there are other issues at hand that result in damaged clutches, and the clutches themselves require the entire transmission to be broken down in order for them to be replaced. Most of the time, a rebuild or replacement will be in order.

We have an older Honda Odyssey and no room to store it in our garage at home. To our surprise the regulator on the front passenger window broke causing the window to go down by itself and no matter how hard we tried, the window would not go back up again. It just needed repair. We are deeply grateful to Neal and Cecil's Automotive for getting the vehicle in for repair and the window fixed within a day. It meant the world to us because it had been raining a lot that week and we could not otherwise protect the vehicle. Fixed right, service prompt, cost fair.
