It is much more than just a simple fluid drain from the transmission pan; we will check and then exchange virtually all of the old fluid from your transmission system with new fluid.

Fluid Level Check & Fluid Replacement :

We will check your fluid levels. Low fluid levels can lead to little lubrication of transmission parts, which speeds up wear and tear and leads to problems.

Fluid replacement should be done every 30,000 miles to promote proper vehicle operation. We’ll change your filter and replace the old fluid with fresh, new fluid. We’ll also clean your pan and replace the old pan gasket.

Tranny Flush:

Approximately every 30,000 miles, fluid begins to break down and loses its effectiveness. That leads to build-up and deposits, which can hasten the erosion of your transmission’s internal parts. Regular performing a tranny flush removes that debris and keeps your transmission clean. That will increase the life and performance of your transmission.
