Transmission Fluid Service
Fresh fluid is the best thing you can do for your transmission. It lubricates, cools, and carries the pressure behind every shift, and it breaks down with heat and miles. We keep automatic and manual transmissions shifting smoothly with fluid service on your manufacturer's schedule, and we'll tell you straight if we spot something fresh fluid won't fix.
Warning Signs & Common Symptoms
- Slipping or delayed shifting
- Rough or hard shifts
- Dark or burnt-smelling fluid
- Transmission fluid leaks (often red)
- No fluid service in the last 30,000–60,000 miles
Why Fluid Matters
Transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and helps transfer power inside your transmission. When it breaks down, shifting suffers and wear accelerates. Most manufacturers recommend a fluid service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Towing, plowing and stop-and-go driving shorten that interval.
What a Fluid Service Includes
- Check fluid level and condition
- Drain the old fluid
- Replace the filter where the transmission has a serviceable one
- Refill with the fluid your manufacturer specifies
- Check for leaks
