Many seasoned drivers already know that you should have you automatic transmission serviced on a regular basis. And most longtime car owners know that transmission service includes dropping the pan, replacing the filter, and replacing a few quarts of oil. But there is another type of service sometimes called a fluid exchange. This service involves pumping nearly all of the old transmission fluids out and then replacing them with new fluid. Though most centers don't include dropping the pan or replacing the filter. So which is better, a transmission flush or fluid change? The best answer is actually a combination of the two. During both of these services the technician brings the car in and drops the pan. This gives him a chance to examin any debris in the sump, so the condition of the transmission can be evaluated and replaced. Once the pan is reinstalled they move on to the fluid exchange service, which is better than the old-style service becuae it replaces more of the old, worn out fluid. Giving your transmission better protection with a new filter and new fluid. You can ask for this comlete transmission service procedure at any local automotive garage's, who will understand the benefits of checking the sump and replacing the filter. There's also a good chance that by performing this service regularly once every couple of years you'll never need major transmission repairs. 

Is your transmission slipping? There is a chance that a transmission service will fix the problem. But there are no guarantees, this is beacause the oil in your car's transmission does play a role in how well the clotches hold. And over tiem the oil can begin to wear out. Though changing the oil won't help if the clutches are worn out. Once that happens the only option is to rebuild the transmission. There's almost no way to be sure whether changing the oil will save your transmission or just waste your money. But your local Autobody shop can help you to improve these odds, by performing thorough road tests, dropping the pan to examine the transmission's condition, and using a complete computer scan. These will help pinpoint the problem at hand and get you back on the road. In many cases all you'll need is a simple reapir. Because today's transmissions are tied into the rest of the vehicle's systems a simple inexpensive senor repair may correct what seemed to be the problem.

How often should you get your transmission fluid changed?  The transmission industry's standard is 25,000 to 30,000 miles or every two years.  If you tow a trailer, 15,000 to 20,000 miles is recommended depending on the amount of towing. Motorhomes can vary with the amount that they are driven. The best thing that you can do is check the fluid regularly; notice the color, odor and level of the fluid. If you notice a change in the color, odor or level, have it checked by one of our trained technicians.

What type of fluid should you use? The suggested fluids differ from one manufacturer to another and you can check the owner's manual to ensure the correct transmission fluid is utilized per your specific auto or truck make and model.  However, here our technicians have a computer program that will insure the right fluid goes into your transmission. We offer a full line of transmission fluids to cover all the various demands of any car or truck.
