oil being put into the car

At Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, it’s important to us that you see the value in the work we do. Over the course of the past decade, depending on what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive, it may seem like oil changes have gotten more expensive, and there’s a lot of differentiation in pricing at different locations. What’s going on?

Manual transmissions aren’t necessarily simple, but they’re much easier to understand in concept than their automatic counterparts. You’re probably aware there are gears in manual transmissions - but there’s a little more to it than that. Here are some of the major components you’ll find in a manual transmission.

Your pickup truck is heavy and hard working, whether it’s a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. If you add towing to the mix, it’s even heavier and has to work harder. Your brakes are one of the most wear and tear prone systems on your diesel pickup, but at Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA, we can help you keep yours in good shape.

Transmission

Automatic transmissions aren’t easily understood outside of specialists like those at Super Shop Automotive in Merced, CA. While it would be impossible to teach you enough to make you a transmission expert in a series of articles, what we can do is give you the fundamental knowledge you need to have a good idea of what your transmission is doing, and how it works.

Best auto repair shop anywhere. - Danny M. (5 star review on Google)

Brought in a 2019 Ford F250 SD that I had Firestone Air Ride Air Bags installed the month before at another shop. Had a small leak somewhere and the shop charged me an hour fee to supposedly fix it ($120). Still had a leak so I took it to Super Shop and they identified the problem and fixed it on the same day I was getting ready to hook up my 5th wheel for a cross country rode trip. They were very professional and courteous and seems like their ethics are of high caliber. I will continue to use them in the future. - Michael B. (5 star review on Google)
