With Our Regular Transmission Services, You Can Avoid Serious Repairs Until The Full Life of the Vehicle

As one of the best transmission shops Phoenix AZ has to offer, our stance is that with regular maintenance services, serious transmission repairs can be avoided until well into the life of the vehicle. The key here is making certain that the system receives the attention it needs, at all the proper times.

For example, Transmission fluid can easily be considered the life blood of your system. As long as the fluid remains clean, it will provide the necessary lubrication and cooling effects that are required to keep the system in good health. This can sometimes be a tricky, because there is more to it than just adding a splash of fluid from time to time.

A Regular Inspection and Maintenance Schedule Keeps Your Vehicle Running Correctly and Avoids Costly Fixes in the Future

• Proper Fluid Level – Maintaining the proper fluid level is step one to avoiding problems. Too little fluid and the system can quickly heat up, causing the machinery to become more malleable. Bent gears cause rough shifting and can even allow tiny metal shavings to break off and be cycled through the system. Curiously enough, too much fluid has essentially the same effect, the only difference being that the fluid first froths up and becomes useless as a lubricant.
• Transmission fluid filter – Over time, dirt and other contaminants will get inside and assault the gears directly. It is not difficult to imagine what happens to a finely tuned piece of machinery when sand is placed into the gears. The fluid filter is what removes these contaminants and helps keep the fluid clean. If the filter is not changed at the prescribed time, the grime collected by the filter will simply be pushed back into the fluid.
• Fluid Exchange – Occasionally, completely changing the fluid is necessary. There are two reasons for this. The first being that the fluid is subject to contamination through dirt, and the second being that the system will occasionally lose a small bit of metal from the gears which floats to the bottom of the fluid reservoir. Draining this reservoir is the only thing that can completely remove these bits of metal, and introduces new, clean fluid for lubricating and cooling the system.
