Transmission Service Process
Assessment and Diagnostics
We start by thoroughly evaluating the transmission system, including fluid condition, gear engagement, and sensor performance. Using diagnostic tools, we identify issues like slipping, delayed shifts, overheating, or dirty fluid before they compromise drivability. This process is crucial for modern vehicles, where contaminated fluid or degraded additives can seriously affect performance.
Component Service and Fluid Maintenance
After the assessment, we replace any worn or damaged parts, including the transmission filter and cooler. If necessary, we flush the transmission fluid, remove contaminants, and replace it with clean, high-quality fluid to restore lubrication and ensure smooth operation. This proactive approach helps your transmission function reliably for years.
