Bulletproofing Transmissions In Chicagoland Illinois

Bulletproofing Transmissions In Chicagoland Illinois

Bulletproofing transmissions for Chicagoland since 1978 is 1 thing that we’re known for. Anyone can get from A to B, but getting from A to B first is how you win. To win sometimes, depending on what kind of win your going after, takes the proper equipment to get there. Hence, when talking about putting the pedal to the metal, a beefed up transmission, a built trans, a performance transmission, or maybe even a bulletproofed transmission may be required to burn that rubber in a professional fashion so to say.

 

If you require a transmission shop near me, we have you and all your transmission service needs covered.

 

Question: What is a “bulletproof transmission“?

Answer: 1. A “bulletproof transmission” is a type of transmission rebuild service we offer. 2. A transmission that has been custom built for a certain application. 3. A transmission that has been built to be beat on. 4. A transmission built for racing.

Β Β 

After we bulletproof a transmission for one of our customers, typically it leaves with: 1. Performance, stronger built, torque converter. 2. Performance blue steel & kevlar clutch packs. 3. Internal spring adjustments, different spring applications, police interceptor spring packages, etc. 4. Valve body adjustment, modifying, updating. 5. Programming. Are the basics.

Performance Transmissions You Can Count On

Do you have a high-performance transmission need? We build high-performance transmissions. We basically offer two different types of performance transmission rebuild services.

 

Performance Transmission Rebuild Type 1 – The first type of performance transmission service we offer is for people who want more performance than stock, but nothing too radical in shift pattern. This transmission service does not drastically alter shifting but will provide firmer, more pronounced shifting. A great all around quality performance rebuild service that can handle mild amounts of power. You think it up, will build it up.

 

Performance Transmission Rebuild Type 2 – Our second type of performance transmission rebuild service (bulletproofed) is for our more serious performance minded customers who wants a transmission that will meet his particular application (race, track, street) needs. These transmissions are built with heavy-duty performance in mind. Special components and procedures are matched to obtain maximum performance for your engine application.

 

High Performance Transmission Rebuilding FAQs

What is high-performance transmission rebuilding?

Answer: High-performance transmission rebuilding involves the process of overhauling and enhancing a vehicle’s transmission system to handle increased power and torque. It is specifically tailored for vehicles used in high-performance applications, such as racing, off-roading, or heavy-duty hauling.

 

Why should I consider a high-performance transmission rebuild?

Answer: If you have a vehicle used for demanding activities, a high-performance transmission rebuild can provide several benefits. It improves the transmission’s durability, enhances power delivery, reduces shift times, and increases overall performance, resulting in better acceleration and smoother gear changes.

 

What sets apart a high-performance transmission rebuild from a standard rebuild?

Answer: A high-performance rebuild utilizes premium quality components, such as high-strength clutches, reinforced bands, and upgraded valve bodies. Additionally, the transmission is fine-tuned to handle higher torque loads, and modifications are made to improve cooling and lubrication systems.

 

Can you rebuild transmissions for all types of vehicles?

Answer: Yes, we specialize in rebuilding transmissions for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and some commercial vehicles. Whether it’s a rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, our skilled technicians can handle the job.

 

What parts are typically upgraded during a bulletproof transmission rebuild?

Answer:Β The parts that are commonly upgraded include heavy-duty clutches, reinforced torque converters, improved valve bodies, stronger planetary gears, and upgraded transmission fluid coolers.

 

What’s the difference between a regular transmission rebuild and a bulletproof rebuild?

Answer:Β A regular transmission rebuild usually involves replacing worn-out parts with OEM equivalents, whereas a bulletproof rebuild goes beyond that by using higher-quality aftermarket components to enhance overall strength and performance.

Couldn’t say anything better about these folks. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Their customer service, quick turnaround, and reasonable pricing is second to none. All I had to do was call them, tell them the issue, they towed my car that night and got it all done within 2 days. I’d recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be back if anything else comes up. Thanks again!

Not a shop I would give repeat business to. **Just updated the review because their reply to this review claimed they completed the job in 5-7 days, which is simply not true and I have evidence. Take a look at the 2 images I just uploaded. I texted the shop the morning I dropped my truck off: November 20. And there's also a copy of my receipt dated December 5 (when I picked up the truck). So, 15 days to get a 5 hour job done! "Family-owned" doesn't automatically mean good family and business values. There are plenty of families that thrive on manipulation and drama. I have zero reason to be dishonest here - they simply do not want to honor their warranty. Not for me. Stay away. Their big flaw here is communication: if they don't communicate the details, then they don't need to be held accountable. It's just plain manipulative and lacks accountability. They didn't go over the warranty details at all before they did the work, and they also said the part I brought them was a quality part. Original review: Last Chance took 2 weeks to repair a job that takes 5 hours, they reused old bushings and seals causing more leaks on my truck, and they ultimately denied warranty repair after the pinion bearing they replaced began to fail within 6 months. This job cost me $1600, so it was hard to hear them casually say no. There was no room for finding a middle ground, either. They had zero interest in finding a solution together. They said I had gone over the miles for the warranty, even though it was only 9 months after the repair by the time I brought it into Last Chance again. I had paperwork proving part failure earlier in the year - I began to hear bearing failure noise around 6 months after repair, but it took me a few months to figure out where the noise was coming from (I replaced tires, did an alignment, changed wheel bearings - did a lot of work hoping it wasn't the same issue). They literally didn't care about any of that. Last Chance had zero interest in hearing that the noise had developed within the warranty period. Bearings take a while to fail, and the noise slowly develops - they should know this as an established mechanical shop. But they expected me to act a very specific and certain way in order to follow their warranty guidelines. I'll never understand people who are not really helpful. And so the overall experience was Last Chance only cared about themselves, and I didn't really feel important as a paying customer. I ultimately found another shop who got the work done in just 2 days. It was night and day difference. The new shop was informative, honest, and understanding. They were also upfront and honest about their warranty terms and details. Last Chance experience felt patronizing and lackadaisical. Shop elsewhere and get perspective before giving your business to Last Chance. It wouldn't have taken much for them to make this a positive experience, but they seemed very uninterested in even trying.

Last Chance Auto Repair saved the day (again). The brakes were shot, needed new front brakes and calipers for my SUV. Originally brought it somewhere else a few blocks away, and ouch, no way. Then I remembered the great service and prices I got over at Last Chance Auto Repair on my last visit. I'm glad I remembered them. Long story short, they did not disappoint. I will never go anywhere else again.

We had a small emergency when the alternator quit making power as soon as the battery light came on. Luckily I was across the street at Plainfield East High School. Very conveniently they had a tow truck there dropping off another vehicle. After the 1st call, I was towed over in about 20 minutes. Tested it right away and showed me the results. Ordered the alternator and I picked up my CR-V the next morning. All in all, great experience, and fair numbers. Highly recommend this garage.

They did an excellent job on replacing my struts, tie rods, wheel bearings, and alignment. Quick service that included a fair bill. Very responsive and on-point communication. I will definitely refer to family and friends.

This repair shop plays no games. Very informative almost educational and prices that are more than fair can be counted on. Saved me over $2000 on a transmission repair one trip and then on another saved me $600 when getting my brakes replaced. Good all around experience. My family and I are life long customers.

I've been having starting problems for awhile now and then my starter officially took a turn for the worse. Bit the bullet and had no choice but to tow it to Last Chance Auto Repair in Plainfield. In and out with the quickness and as always an unfortunate but fair price tag included.
