Nissan Milwaukee Versa MaintenanceStaying on top of vehicle maintenance requires skilled technicians and a commitment to quality and customer care. Count on Russ Darrow as a top destination for engine and transmission repairs, offering expert service that caters to our customers in Wisconsin needs.

The engine and transmission are the heart of your vehicle, whether it’s a car, truck, or SUV, an automatic or manual, four-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or rear wheel drive. While you may not often think about it, your vehicle is made up of various complex systems. The engine and the transmission are your vehicle’s two most important. If either is having problems, you won’t be getting very far down the road! Trust Russ Darrow for any engine and transmission repairs. Properly maintained engines can often get 200,000 or more miles and a transmission can last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles or more. Both components require regular check-ups and maintenance. Engine maintenance, usually an oil change, is typically needed every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving conditions, and transmission service is recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you haven’t been keeping up with these maintenance tasks, you could end up at Russ Darrow for engine and transmission repair.

There are five telltale signs that your engine needs repair. The flashing check engine light is one of the most obvious signs that something is wrong with your engine. Although this light can signify other issues, such as malfunctions within your engine’s sensors, bad gaskets, vent control valve issues, engine coolant temperature sensor issues, faulty spark plugs, or a bad catalytic converter, you should get to Russ Darrow and have the certified technicians rule out the engine itself when this light comes on. If you hear knocking sounds or vibrations coming from the engine compartment, it’s due to a lack of engine oil running through its system. You most likely need engine repair at this point. If you find that you’re losing power, it could mean there are underlying issues with your engine’s airflow and exhaust system that require repairs. A huge red flag that you need engine service or repairs is a trail of black, white, or even blue smoke behind your vehicle. And lastly, if you are filling up your gas tank more often, it might be caused by the engine’s compression stroke. At Russ Darrow, certified technicians assess your vehicle’s performance and accurately diagnose problems using state-of-the-art equipment. Don’t wait until your car no longer runs! Schedule service at our service and repair facility to have your engine checked out.

Even though the transmission doesn’t need maintenance as often as the engine, it is equally essential in keeping your vehicle running smoothly. The two main types of transmission are manual and automatic. The obvious signs that it’s time to get transmission repair are an overheating vehicle, a check engine light that’s on, leaking transmission fluid, slipping gears, a burning smell emitting from your car, whining, humming noises while in neutral, a response delay during gear shifts. We can fix your transmission in various ways, including replacing worn or frayed belts, replacing contaminated fluids, adjusting the cables and linkages, and checking bolts or hardware that may have loosened over time. Potential transmission problems should be inspected by a professional mechanic at Russ Darrow. They can quickly diagnose your transmission problems and get started on repairs! With 15 locations in Wisconsin, Russ Darrow ensures that expert engine and transmission repair services are always within reach. The integration of current technology, including online scheduling and service tracking, makes it easier for our customers to manage their vehicle maintenance from the comfort of their homes.
