Trans. Maintenance
Transmissions last longest when they are cared for before problems start. Our Trans. Maintenance service is a full preventative package aimed at protecting your transmission, not just reacting after it fails.
We begin with a transmission fluid flush or fluid change, depending on what your vehicle's manufacturer recommends and the condition of the existing fluid. Old, burnt, or contaminated fluid is one of the quickest ways to shorten transmission life, so getting it clean and fresh is a big step toward reliable shifting.
While we are there, we replace the transmission filter on serviceable units. That filter catches tiny metal particles and debris; when it clogs, your pump and internal parts have to work much harder. A clean filter keeps fluid flowing freely and reduces wear.
Next, we hook up our diagnostic scanning equipment to check for stored trouble codes, shift timing issues, and temperature data that you may not feel yet from the driver's seat. Catching a small issue early can save you from a major repair down the road.
We also perform a transmission cooling system check, making sure the cooler lines, in‑radiator cooler, or external cooler are flowing properly so the transmission does not overheat in traffic or during summer heat. For newer vehicles, we can update the transmission control software when available, which can smooth out gear changes and correct known shift concerns.
At the end of the visit, we review what we did, share any findings in simple terms, and lay out a sensible maintenance schedule based on how and where you drive. This kind of routine care is one of the best ways to avoid sudden, expensive transmission problems.
