Transmission service at the Garage

A transmission service is a regular part of routine car maintenance, just like an oil change. At the Garage we work on vehicle transmission problems every day.

Need to have your transmission checked?

A transmission service is typically involved in a regular vehicle service. We’ll replace fluid and clean out pumps & filters. The primary aspect of a transmission service is flushing out the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new fluid.

However, a complete transmission service should also include: examining the sump pump or pan (if possible), replacing or cleaning the filter, cleaning the pan and installing it with a new pan gasket. Not only do we replace transmission fluid and filter, we also check various components to make sure they are in good working order

A complete transmission service is the most comprehensive form of preventative transmission maintenance offered. Not only do we replace transmission fluid and filter, we also check various components to make sure they are in good working order. We examine the transmission sump and pan. We clean the transmission pan. We replace the pan's gasket material. While we have the pan removed, we also look inside your transmission to check for friction damage and metal particles. We will advise you if your transmission shows excessive wear serious enough to be of concern. Any serious issues will lead to a recommendation from our auto mechanic as to your best course of action.

We hope we have provided you with a better understanding of what transmission service really entails. So when you're looking for a new automotive repair shop you can trust with your transmission, look no further than Christian Brothers Automotive.

In addition to puddles of fluid, you should be alert to other unusual symptoms while you drive, such as:

Delay or hesitation when you change gear
Unusual noises which may vary depending on the make of the vehicle
Noises when the car is in neutral

Transmission problems should never be ignored. Many repairs, such as replacing automatic transmission fluid or sealing a leak, can be done quickly and at little expense

How often should I get a transmission service?

Need to edit

every 2 to 3 years
After the first transmission fluid change at 60,000 miles, it is recommended that you regularly continue this maintenance service every 2 to 3 years or 25K-30K miles. Not only do your driving habits affect the breakdown of transmission fluid, but so can putting off getting the service done.
