CAR CARE TIPS 

Routine Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

Transmission fluid lubricates internal components, helps regulate temperature, and ensures smooth shifting. Over time, these properties break down. Routine maintenance helps protect your transmission and extend its lifespan. 

Don't Ignore Issues

Don't Ignore Issues

Early warning signs such as delayed shifting, unusual noises, or fluid leaks should never be ignored. Addressing these concerns early can help prevent major repairs and unexpected breakdowns. 

Check Fluid Levels

Check Fluid Levels

Transmission fluid powers clutches, cools internal components, and transfers power to the wheels. Low or contaminated fluid can quickly lead to overheating and damage. Maintaining proper fluids is key to keeping your car running without issues.  

Tune Engine

Tune the Engine

The engines and transmissions in today’s cars are linked far more closely than in the past. A problem with engine performance can put much more strain on the transmission.  Wcan help identify issues that may be impacting overall drivetrain operation. 

Routine Maintenance

Maintain the Cooling System

Your vehicle’s cooling system helps protect both the engine and transmission from excessive heat. A failing cooling system can shorten transmission life and lead to costly repairs. We can evaluate cooling-related issues that may affect transmission performance. 

Manual Transmissions

Manual Transmission Care

Riding the clutch or partially engaging it between shifts can cause premature wear. A general rule of thumb, when using the clutch it should either be all the way up or all the way down to help maintain smooth operation and extend clutch and transmission life.
