Transmission Services
Your vehicle’s transmission plays a crucial role in ensuring your car drives smoothly. It’s responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels and ensuring that your car shifts gears effectively. Over time, wear and tear, along with neglected maintenance, can cause serious issues, from gear slippage to complete transmission failure. That’s why regular transmission service is so important.
At Car Tune Up – Sarasota, we provide a full range of transmission services, including fluid changes, minor repairs, and complete transmission replacements. Here’s why these services are essential:
Transmission Fluid Change
Transmission fluid lubricates the gears and helps keep the transmission cool, but over time, it breaks down and becomes less effective. Dirty or old fluid can lead to overheating, poor performance, and damage to the transmission’s internal components. Our technicians will drain the old fluid, check for debris or contamination, and replace it with high-quality transmission fluid to ensure smooth, efficient shifting.
Transmission Repair
If you notice unusual noises, difficulty shifting, or a “check engine” light, it may be time for a transmission repair. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the issue, whether it’s a damaged component or worn-out seals. By catching these problems early, we can often repair them before they turn into bigger (and more expensive) issues.
Transmission Replacement
In some cases, a full transmission replacement is necessary when the damage is too extensive for repair. This can happen if the transmission hasn’t been properly maintained or if it suffers from a major mechanical failure. At Car Tune Up – Sarasota, our team ensures a seamless replacement, getting your car back on the road as quickly as possible.
Importance of Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your transmission is crucial to avoid expensive repairs. Transmission fluid should typically be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations and driving habits. Neglecting this can cause the transmission to wear out prematurely, leading to costly repairs or replacements.
Added Protection with BG Products
For an extra layer of protection, we also offer BG Transmission Services, including the BG Transmission Fluid Conditioner (MOA) and BG Transmission Flush (44K). These services help to clean and protect your transmission system, keeping it in top shape for longer. These added services work to prevent the buildup of sludge and varnish that can damage your transmission over time.
Regular transmission service not only keeps your car driving smoothly but also helps extend the life of your vehicle and protect your investment. If your transmission isn’t performing as it should, or if it’s time for preventative maintenance, trust Car Tune Up – Sarasota for expert, reliable care.
