Transmission Service

Warning signs include delayed engagement when shifting, harsh or jerky shifts, slipping gears, unusual noises (whining, clunking, humming), burning smell, transmission warning light, or fluid leaks under your vehicle. Don’t ignore these symptoms – early diagnosis prevents costly damage.

It depends on your vehicle and driving conditions. Most manufacturers recommend 30,000-60,000 miles for automatic transmissions, though some “lifetime” fluids should still be changed at 100,000 miles. We follow your specific manufacturer’s recommendations and consider your driving patterns.

Done incorrectly, yes. That’s why we carefully evaluate your transmission’s condition before recommending any service. For older transmissions with unknown service history, we often recommend a drain-and-fill rather than a complete flush to avoid dislodging debris that could cause problems.

It depends on the specific problem, your vehicle’s value, and your plans for the car. We provide honest assessments of both options. Sometimes a $500 repair extends transmission life for years; other times replacement makes more sense. We help you make the decision that’s right for your situation.

Absolutely. European transmissions (ZF, Getrag, DSG, PDK) require specialized knowledge and fluids. We have specific training and experience with BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Jaguar, and Land Rover transmissions, as well as Subaru CVT and manual transmissions.
