How Often Should You Service Your Car's Transmission?

Every vehicle has different requirements regarding how often its transmission needs service. You generally don't need to service your car's transmission as often as you do other parts. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend servicing the transmission about once every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first. But there may be cases where you'll need to service it more often than that. If, for example, you routinely drive your car in extreme conditions, frequently deal with stop-and-go traffic, or use your truck to tow heavy loads, you may need to reduce the time and mileage between transmission services.
You can check the owner's manual for your car to see the frequency the auto manufacturer recommends for transmission service. Developing a good relationship with a service center, like the one found at Huffines CJDR Plano, is a good idea. We're here to answer any questions you have about transmission service. We can let you know whether it's time for transmission service based on your vehicle type, mileage, and age.
How Can You Tell Your Car Needs Transmission Service?
Several clues indicate it's time to bring your vehicle for service. Make sure you address them promptly since it could lead to serious transmission troubles if you're not careful. Staying on top of scheduling transmission service throughout the time you own your car can protect you from dealing with costly transmission issues. Be sure to come to our service center as soon as possible if you notice any of the following:
- Â
- Transmission fluid is leaking underneath your car. Â
- A burning smell is coming from your car's transmission. Â
- The transmission's gears slip when you drive. Â
- The transmission is struggling to switch gears. Â
- Your car's transmission isn't shifting smoothly from park to drive.
If you spot any of these problems, you should arrange for transmission service immediately. Otherwise, you may find your vehicle's transmission needs serious repairs in the not-too-distant future. You may even have to replace it altogether at some point.
What Does Transmission Service Include?
You probably already know how important it is to change the oil in your car regularly. But you may not realize that it's also imperative to flush the transmission and add new fluid. You won't need to do this as often as you change the oil. But you'll want to have the technicians at Huffines CJDR Plano flush the old transmission fluid and replace it during your vehicle's next transmission service.
While we're servicing the transmission for you, you might also opt to have us replace the filter for the transmission fluid. Dirt and other contaminants can build up in the transmission over time. It won't work as efficiently when the filter for the transmission fluid is full of gunk. Our service center can help you replace the transmission fluid and the filter when you have us take care of the transmission service. We can also inspect the rest of the transmission for signs of trouble so you can schedule repairs before issues become more serious.
Who Should You Trust To Perform Transmission Service?
Most auto repair garages and car dealerships can set you up with transmission service when your vehicle needs it. But you shouldn't trust just anyone to work on something as important as your car's transmission. Instead, you should rely on a reputable service center like the one at Huffines CJDR Plano.
