A transmission rebuild is the most cost-effective way to get tens of thousands more reliable miles out of a vehicle you already trust. At Top Notch Transmissions, rebuilding is not a sideline. It is what our second-generation family shop in north Fort Worth has done for decades, and it is why drivers from every corner of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex have their vehicles towed to our door. We tear the unit down to the last bearing, replace every wear item with upgraded components, and dyno-test the finished build before it ever goes back in your vehicle. And because we offer free towing anywhere in the DFW metroplex, you are never stranded while we do it.

A rebuild is not a patch. When your transmission comes to us, we remove it, fully disassemble it, and inspect every component against factory and upgraded specifications. A proper rebuild includes:
That process is the difference between a transmission that fails again in a year and one that outlasts the rest of the vehicle.
For most vehicles, a transmission rebuild in the Dallas–Fort Worth area runs between $4,000 and $8,000 or more, depending on the make, model, and year of your vehicle. We do not quote a flat price sight unseen, because an honest number depends on what is actually inside your transmission. The factors that move your price include:
| What Affects Your Price | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Make, model, and year | A light-duty car costs far less than a diesel truck or European unit. |
| Transmission type | Heavy-duty (68RFE, 10R140), eight- and ten-speed, CVT, and European (ZF) units use more expensive parts. |
| Extent of internal damage | A unit caught early costs less than one that ran until it grenaded hard parts. |
| Upgrade level | Stock rebuild versus a high-performance build for towing or competition. |
The only way to give you a real number is to diagnose your vehicle. Request a free estimate and we will tell you exactly what your transmission needs — and what it does not.
We rebuild nearly every transmission on the road, and we have dedicated specialists and tooling for the units Fort Worth and DFW drivers bring us most:
We are located at 13035 Harmon Rd, Suite 309 in north Fort Worth, just off I-35W near the Alliance corridor — and with free towing, our service area covers the entire metroplex. We rebuild transmissions for drivers in Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, Irving, Keller, Southlake, Grapevine, North Richland Hills, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Grand Prairie, Saginaw, Haltom City, Watauga, Roanoke, and every community in between.
In the DFW area, most rebuilds run between $4,000 and $8,000 or more, depending on the make, model, and year of the vehicle and the extent of internal damage. Heavy-duty diesel, eight- and ten-speed, CVT, and European transmissions sit at the higher end. We provide an exact price only after diagnosing your vehicle.
Most rebuilds are completed within a few days to about a week, depending on parts availability and how much your specific unit needs. We will give you a realistic timeline up front.
For most vehicles in good overall condition, a rebuild is the better value because we can upgrade the exact components that fail and stand behind the work. We will give you an honest recommendation for your situation.
A properly rebuilt transmission with upgraded components can last as long as or longer than the original, often well over 100,000 miles with normal maintenance.
Yes. We offer free towing anywhere in the DFW metroplex so you are never stranded while your transmission is being rebuilt.
