The Importance of transmission maintenance
Did you know that most major transmission problems can be avoided by preventative maintenance?
Remember, preventative maintenance works and can save you money and heartache.
All automatic transmissions consist of these basic components. A pump assembly which provides hydraulic pressure. Clutch drums, which are applied or released hydraulically. A planetary gear assembly which actually allows the different gear ratios to occur. A Valve Body Assembly which controls the shifting hydraulically. All this is housed in a case which is usually aluminum, and most likely is the only part of a transmission most people ever see.
Transmission Repair Tips
Your vehicle’s transmission is essential for smooth operation, and maintaining it properly can prevent costly repairs down the road. One of the best ways to keep your transmission in top condition is to check and change the transmission fluid regularly. Transmission fluid not only lubricates the internal components but also helps cool the system, reducing wear and tear. Low or dirty fluid can cause overheating, slipping, and grinding, so checking your fluid level and quality periodically is a simple yet effective preventative measure.
If you notice unusual symptoms like delayed shifting, slipping gears, or strange noises, these may be signs of a transmission issue that needs immediate attention. Addressing these early can often prevent a minor issue from turning into a major, costly repair. Always consult a professional technician if you experience these warning signs, as attempting to diagnose or repair the transmission on your own can lead to further complications. With proper care and timely professional service, you can extend the life of your transmission and ensure your vehicle operates smoothly for years to come.

Our
Services
Before the emergence of car diagnostic tests, identifying problems was time-consuming and expensive, especially considering car owners only brought their cars to mechanics after a breakdown or other severe malfunction. Now, computerized car components can detect problems long before they cause a breakdown.
Diagnostic tools can also check a car’s computer system for manufacturer notifications and stored information about the car’s history, giving technicians a complete picture in order to perform the best repair possible.
