What is a Transmission Fluid Exchange Service?
A flush of transmission fluid involves draining out what is there and replacing that with new fluid. There will still be some fluid in your car, and a flush will get it all out. If it is the first time for your transmission to be serviced, a simple exchange will likely be all you need. Our certified technicians can inspect your car and explain your options for service on your transmission, whether it be a replacement or a full flush.

Warning Signs of Defective Transmission Fluid
The transmission fluid should be bright red and not feel grainy. If it is brown, or dark, and feels grainy you need to change the fluid. Tiny pieces of metal get in the fluid over time as it lubricates the parts in the transmission. It is also a good idea to look for leaks. A transmission that is struggling will often leak, and a leak means it needs attention. Another sign of trouble is if your transmission starts to slip or jerk while you accelerate.

Importance of Regular Maintenance
Maintenance is the key to keeping your car running well and making it last as long as possible. Transmission issues will not go away, and will only get worse. Often if you catch a problem early enough it can be fixed. It might just need new fluid. Transmissions are complicated pieces and have a lot of moving parts. They are sturdy but they can get in trouble if there is a fluid problem. If your transmission is slipping, if it is leaking, or if it simply will not go at times, you need to get it looked at by certified mechanics. Eventually, the transmission will go out entirely and will have to be replaced, which is a very expensive job. Don't take a chance on having a breakdown on the highway. Get your transmission serviced at the first sign of trouble.
