The transmission is the vehicle’s brain and is a giant gearbox that determines how your vehicle shifts. The transmission transforms the combustion created by the engine and morphs it into real power. Regular maintenance of the transmission is necessary to sustain the life of the transmission and your vehicle. Servicing a transmission is similar to servicing the engine, with an oil and fluid change, inspecting panels, replacing or cleaning the filter, and more. Signs you need transmission service: • Leaking transmission fluid. • Strange transmission odor. • Check engine or transmission light. • Poor acceleration. • Harsh idling. • Poor shifting. • Slipping. Our technicians have the tools and skills to efficiently inspect and service the transmission. Contact us today for transmission service!

Signs you need a fluid inspection: • Colored fluid leaking from your vehicle. • Illuminated dashboard lights. • Strange odors from your vehicle while on or off.
