Serving Forestville with Expert Transmission Repair
When Forestville drivers search for “transmission repair near me” or a “Forestville mechanic” who truly specializes in transmissions, they find Rohnert Park Transmission & Auto Repair. Located just 20 minutes east of Forestville on Highway 116, we have been the Russian River corridor's trusted transmission specialists since 1997. Our ATRA and ASE certified technicians handle every transmission type — automatic, manual, CVT, and dual-clutch — for all makes and models.
Forestville sits along Highway 116 in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Drivers here face conditions that put real stress on transmissions: winding two-lane roads, steep grades heading toward Guerneville or Sebastopol, seasonal flooding that can affect vehicle components, and cold morning starts in shaded redwood areas. Our technicians understand exactly how these local conditions affect transmissions and diagnose problems accordingly.
Unlike a general auto repair shop, transmission work is our specialty. We have invested in factory-grade diagnostic equipment, ATRA certification training, and decades of hands-on experience solving transmission problems that other shops could not fix. If your vehicle is showing any transmission symptoms, call us at (707) 584-7727 before the problem becomes a complete failure.

Frequently Asked Questions — Transmission Repair Near Forestville
What are the warning signs I need transmission repair near Forestville?
Common warning signs include: gears slipping unexpectedly, delayed engagement when shifting from Park to Drive, grinding or whining noises during shifts, a burning smell from under the vehicle, red or brown fluid spots in your driveway, a lit check engine light, rough or hesitant shifting, and the car not moving when placed in gear. If you notice any of these symptoms while driving Highway 116 through Forestville, call us immediately at (707) 584-7727. Early diagnosis almost always prevents a more expensive complete transmission failure.
Do you repair all types of transmissions for Forestville vehicles?
Yes. Our ASE and ATRA certified technicians handle all transmission types: traditional and modern multi-speed automatic transmissions, manual (stick shift) transmissions, CVT (continuously variable transmissions) common in many Honda, Nissan, and Subaru models, and dual-clutch transmissions found in European and performance vehicles. We service all makes and models driven by Forestville and Russian River area residents.
How much does transmission repair cost for Forestville drivers?
Transmission repair cost depends on the severity of the problem and your vehicle type. Minor services like fluid changes or solenoid replacements are far more affordable than major rebuilds. We provide free diagnostics and give you a detailed, written estimate before any work begins — no surprises. Call (707) 584-7727 for a free quote specific to your vehicle and issue.
What is the difference between transmission repair and a rebuild?
Transmission repair targets specific failed parts — such as solenoids, seals, or valve body components — while leaving healthy components intact. A rebuild requires complete disassembly, thorough inspection of every part, replacement of all worn components, and reassembly with fresh gaskets and seals. Rebuilds are the right choice when internal damage is widespread. We always recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
How long will transmission repair take?
Simpler services like a transmission fluid exchange can be finished the same day. More involved repairs typically take two to three days. Full transmission rebuilds generally require three to five days to ensure everything is done correctly. We will give you an accurate timeline when we complete our diagnosis and keep you updated throughout the entire process.
Do you provide a warranty on transmission repairs?
Yes. We back all transmission repairs and rebuilds with a comprehensive warranty. Coverage details depend on the type of service performed, and we explain your full warranty clearly before you approve any work. Our goal is that you drive away with complete confidence in the repair.
Why do Forestville drivers choose Rohnert Park Transmission over a local mechanic?
