Engine & Transmission Repair

Specialized Auto Repairs By Our Highly-Skilled Mechanics

The average car engine has thirty mechanical moving parts and up to one hundred microprocessor-controlled systems that govern everything from transmission shifts to ignition timing. Vehicles are packed with up to 100 million lines of computer code that mechanics have to be able to read, analyze and reprogram. Our staff is invested in ongoing professional development that gives METRO a leading edge in diagnostics. We are committed to constantly updating tools and training, which allows our mechanics to efficiently and accurately pinpoint evolving vehicle issues. Our expertise saves our customers both time and money.

Clutch Repair

In a perfect world, no one would ever need to replace a clutch. Proper shifting technique limits wear on the pressure plate and disc. However, situations like getting stuck in the ditch, hauling water, snow machines and boats on icy or muddy terrain—these driving routines inherent in the Alaska lifestyle—make clutch maintenance tricky. Hydraulic seal failure, master cylinder or slave cylinder wear will all result in a clutch pedal that engages or disengages poorly. METRO offers regular inspections and adjustments that allow customers to get the most out of their clutch’s lifespan.

Symptoms

Clutch pedal hits the floor, clutch pedal disengages too high, engine revs under load or going uphill, burned rubber or dish soap smell and/or trouble shifting gears

Car & Truck Engine Repair

At about 100,000 miles, most car and truck engines enter their first significant maintenance cycle. A renewal of major components is required in order for your vehicle to approach its second 100K miles. At METRO, we love keeping cars on the road and car payments out of your life. We can help to ensure that the second half of your car's life will be as trouble-free as the first.

Symptoms

Persistent check engine light (CEL), rough idle or uneven ignition, stalling when braking or idling, engine knocking or tapping noises, and/or sweet smelling or white exhaust

Problem Area: Front
Car & Truck Exhaust Repair

The exhaust system in a car or truck is difficult to maintain in Fairbanks. Salt brine used on winter roads, combined with a constant freeze/thaw process, creates an accelerated decay of the metals used in exhaust pipes. Mufflers and catalytic converters can become blocked with metal debris. This leads to a myriad of engine performance issues that can masquerade as tuning problems.

Symptoms

Loud or percussive engine noise, reduced fuel efficiency, sulfur or rotten egg smell, and/or check engine light

Head Gasket Repair

We have repaired nearly 2000 Subaru head gaskets at our auto shop in Fairbanks. Between 90,000-120,000 miles, Subarus enter a standard maintenance interval which generally requires the replacement of the timing belt, water pump and other wear parts on the motor. Let our expert team help you get another 100,00 miles out of your vehicle!

Alaska is special and so are our maintenance intervals. Metro understands the unique challenges of maintaining a vehicle in Fairbanks and how they relate to timing belt replacements.

Problem Area: Front
Transmission Repair

Car and truck transmission maintenance is especially important in Alaska. Extreme temperature fluctuations degrade the lubricating properties of fluids, which leaves this major vehicle component vulnerable to wear and premature failure. The many electrical components present in both a transaxle and transfer case, respond uniquely to Alaska's climate. We make it our business to prevent repairs with specialized and proactive maintenance recommendations. When parts do fail, we make it our business to get you back on the road by replacing only what is worn.

Symptoms

The vehicle hesitates after shifting, grinding between gears, transmission fluid leaking or dirty, smell of burned rubber/ceramic, and/or bitter smell of burned dish soap
