Signs Your Vehicle Needs Transmission Care
Taking care of your car’s transmission can save you from costly repairs down the road. Here are some friendly reminders to help you spot potential issues early:
Warning Lights
The check engine light might signal a transmission issue. Bring your car to us, and we’ll diagnose the problem accurately.
Unusual Sounds
Your transmission should operate quietly. If you hear clunks, whines, or hums, it’s time for a professional inspection.
Leaks
Keep an eye out for red or pink fluid under your car. Transmission fluid is easy to spot and should never be ignored. Check fluid levels regularly, especially before long drives.
Odd Shifts and Vibrations
Trust your instincts. If your car feels shaky or shifts oddly, let us take a closer look to prevent bigger issues.
Don’t wait to address these issues!
We can save you from costly transmission replacements or rebuilds by catching and fixing issues early on. Schedule an appointment for honest, reliable transmission care.
Our Transmission Tune-Up Service
Protect Your Transmission Before Problems Start
Your transmission is one of the most complex and expensive systems in your vehicle. Every time you accelerate, merge onto the highway, tow a trailer, or sit in stop-and-go traffic, your transmission is hard at work transferring power from the engine to the wheels.
To do that, it relies on clean transmission fluid to lubricate moving parts, reduce heat, and provide the hydraulic pressure needed for smooth shifting.
Over time, that fluid breaks down. Heat, friction, and normal wear gradually reduce its ability to protect your transmission, much like engine oil eventually loses its effectiveness.
That’s where our Transmission Tune-Up (TTU) Service comes in.
Regular transmission maintenance helps remove contaminants, restore protection, improve shifting performance, and extend the life of your transmission. Think of it as preventative healthcare for one of the most important components in your vehicle.
Our comprehensive TTU service includes:
✔ Road test before service
✔ Transmission pan removal and inspection
✔ New transmission filter installation (where applicable)
✔ New transmission pan gasket installation
✔ Under-vehicle inspection
✔ Shift linkage inspection and adjustment (where applicable)
✔ Inspection for excessive wear or internal debris
✔ Drain torque converter (where applicable)
✔ Refill with manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid
✔ Final road test and quality control inspection
A Small Investment That Can Save Thousands
A properly maintained transmission can often provide well over 150,000 miles of reliable service. Regular transmission maintenance helps maximize performance, improve longevity, and reduce the likelihood of expensive repairs or replacement.
If you’re not sure when your transmission was last serviced, we’d be happy to inspect it and help you develop a maintenance plan that fits your vehicle and driving habits.
