Our Transmission Services

Transmission Fluid Change & Filter Replacement

We drain old, burnt fluid and replace it with manufacturer-recommended ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), plus install a new filter and pan gasket when applicable.

Transmission Fluid Flush (Select Models)

For compatible vehicles, we offer a full flush using professional equipment to remove nearly 100% of old fluid—ideal for high-mileage cars or neglected maintenance.

Transmission Leak Inspection & Repair

We locate the source of leaks (pan gasket, seals, lines) and perform minor repairs to stop fluid loss and prevent damage.

Transmission Diagnostic & Code Reading

If your check engine or transmission warning light is on, we scan for codes and perform road tests to identify electrical or mechanical issues.

Note: We specialize in maintenance and minor repairs. For major transmission rebuilds or replacements, we provide honest consultation and trusted referrals.

Transmission Service FAQs

How often should I change my transmission fluid?

It depends on your vehicle. Many manufacturers recommend every 30,000–60,000 miles for automatics under normal use—but severe driving (stop-and-go, towing, hills) may require more frequent changes. Check your owner’s manual or ask us for a free inspection.

What does bad transmission fluid look like?

Fresh ATF is bright red and smells sweet. Burnt fluid is dark brown or black and smells like burnt toast—this indicates overheating and potential internal wear.

Can a fluid change fix slipping gears?

Sometimes—if caught early. But if internal components are already damaged, a fluid change alone won’t solve it. We’ll give you an honest assessment before any work begins.

Do you offer a warranty on transmission service?

Yes! All transmission fluid services and minor repairs include our standard 12-month/12,000-mile warranty.
