It’s true. Transmissions are our specialty.
It’s right there in our name.
But here’s something many people don’t realize: the level of knowledge and skill required to diagnose and repair modern transmissions also makes us exceptionally well-equipped to handle far more than just transmission work.
At Harrell & Beverly Transmissions & Auto Repair, we’re transmission experts by trade, but complete vehicle care is what we do every day.
Why Transmission Expertise Matters for the Rest of Your Vehicle
Modern vehicles are complex. Today’s transmissions don’t operate in isolation. They communicate constantly with the engine, electrical systems, computer modules, sensors, and drivetrain components.
Properly diagnosing transmission concerns requires:
Advanced diagnostic skills
A deep understanding of how vehicle systems work together
The ability to test, interpret data, and think critically
That same expertise applies directly to engine concerns, drivability issues, warning lights, electrical problems, and more. When a shop can accurately diagnose transmission problems, it says a lot about their overall diagnostic capability.

ASE Certified Master Technicians You Can Trust
Our team includes ASE Certified Master Technicians, a designation that reflects years of experience, rigorous testing, and a commitment to ongoing education.
What that means for you:
Problems are diagnosed correctly, not guessed at
Repairs are recommended based on evidence, not assumptions
Complex concerns are approached methodically and carefully
Whether your vehicle has a performance issue, a warning light, or something that just doesn’t feel right, you benefit from the same disciplined process we use for advanced transmission diagnostics.
Full-Service Auto Repair, the Harrell & Beverly Way
While transmissions remain our specialty, we proudly provide a wide range of professional auto repair services for drivers in Sanford and throughout Central Florida.
Our services include:
Electrical system diagnosis and repair
Computer diagnostics and drivability concerns
Heating and air conditioning service and repair
Steering and suspension repair and replacement
Preventative maintenance and general auto repair
Comprehensive vehicle evaluations and Digital Vehicle Inspections
Every service follows the Harrell & Beverly Way: listen carefully, evaluate thoroughly, communicate clearly, and perform quality repairs you can trust.
It’s not uncommon for customers to come in thinking they have a transmission issue, only to discover the cause lies elsewhere.
Modern vehicles often produce symptoms that feel transmission-related but originate in the engine, sensors, electrical systems, or software.
Our diagnostic approach allows us to identify the real cause before recommending repairs. That saves time, money, and frustration, and it’s one of the reasons so many Sanford drivers rely on us for honest auto repair.

When you bring your car to Harrell & Beverly, you’re choosing:
A local, family-owned auto repair shop
Experienced technicians with advanced training

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only work on transmissions?
No. While transmissions are our specialty, we are a full-service auto repair shop. Our technicians diagnose and repair engine issues, electrical problems, drivability concerns, heating and air conditioning systems, steering and suspension components, and more. Many customers are surprised to learn how much we do beyond transmissions.
Why does transmission expertise matter for other repairs?
Transmission diagnosis requires advanced knowledge of how vehicle systems interact, including engine performance, electronics, sensors, and computer controls. That same expertise applies to diagnosing complex issues throughout the vehicle, which helps ensure accurate repairs and fewer repeat visits.
What does it mean to be an ASE Certified Master Technician?
An ASE Certified Master Technician has passed a comprehensive series of exams covering multiple vehicle systems and has demonstrated years of hands-on experience. This certification reflects a high level of skill, professionalism, and commitment to ongoing training.
Can you diagnose a problem even if I’m not sure what’s wrong?
Yes. Many customers come to us with symptoms rather than a clear diagnosis, such as warning lights, unusual noises, or changes in how their vehicle drives. Our evaluation process and Digital Vehicle Inspections allow us to identify the root cause and explain it clearly before any work is done.
Why should I trust Harrell & Beverly instead of another repair shop?
Customers choose Harrell & Beverly because we combine advanced diagnostic expertise with clear communication and long-term care. As a family-owned auto repair shop serving Sanford for decades, we focus on honesty, transparency, and doing the job right the first time.
