What Is Transmission Service?

When drivers hear “transmission” and “service” in the same sentence, they usually become worried. Transmission service actually falls under the category of preventive maintenance, so there is no need to worry.

During transmission service, your transmission fluid is the primary component that will be checked. Your transmission fluid is important for maintaining the overall integrity of your transmission. It works by lubricating different parts, maintaining the proper temperature, sustaining fluid pressure, and helping in some other key areas. After a while, your transmission fluid will eventually need to be changed, so this is what will be inspected.

• Automatic Transmission Fluid Replacement: 60,000 miles to 100,000 miles
• Manual Transmission Fluid Replacement: 30,000 miles to 60,000 miles

If you’re experiencing symptoms of faulty transmission operation, you’ll definitely want to bring your vehicle in for service, where we’ll check the fluid and diagnose what is going on.
