1. How do I know if my transmission needs service?
Signs that your transmission may need service include slipping gears, grinding noises, hesitation when shifting, or the transmission warning light coming on. If you experience these symptoms, scheduling a diagnostic appointment as soon as possible is essential to avoid further damage.
2. Can transmission problems happen suddenly?
Yes, transmission problems can arise suddenly, especially if your vehicle has not been properly maintained. While some signs of transmission failure, such as slipping gears, may appear gradually, others, like fluid leaks or a failed transmission, can happen without warning.
3. How often should I have my transmission checked?
It’s a good idea to check your transmission regularly, typically during your vehicle’s annual maintenance or every 12,000 miles. However, if you notice any performance issues, such as difficulty shifting or slipping gears, it’s important to have it checked sooner.

5. What happens during a transmission service?
During a transmission service, our technicians will inspect the transmission fluid, filter, and all related components. They will assess your transmission's performance, check for leaks, and look for any signs of wear. If necessary, we recommend repairs or a fluid change to keep your transmission functioning properly.
6. What could cause my transmission to fail?
Transmission failure can be caused by several factors, including low or dirty transmission fluid, worn-out gears or seals, overheating, or inadequate maintenance. Regular fluid changes and early problem detection can help prevent transmission failure.
7. How long does a transmission service take?
The length of time it takes to service your transmission depends on the specific services needed. A fluid change or filter replacement may take less time, while more complex issues like a transmission rebuild or replacement could take longer. Once our technicians assess the issue, they will provide an estimated time frame.
8. Can I drive my vehicle if my transmission is slipping?
It’s not recommended to drive your vehicle if the transmission is slipping, as this can cause further damage to the system and may leave you stranded. If you notice any symptoms of a slipping transmission, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible to prevent additional issues.
