What Are The Benefits Of Transmission Service?

What Are The Benefits Of Transmission Service?

Just as humans have to see the doctor regularly, automobiles also need regular checkups. But why do we specifically need transmission service? What are the tangible benefits of transmission service?

The Transmission Is As Important As It Is Complex. It Requires Special Care.

You might be thinking, “Yes, I see the doctor for regular checkups. But I don’t see a cardiologist or a nephrologist unless something is wrong”. By this logic, you should only bring your vehicle in for transmission service when you think there’s a problem, right? Perhaps, but the problem here is that you’ve analogized the transmission to the wrong human body part.

The transmission is more like your teeth. Or maybe your eyes. Certainly not in terms of function, but if we’re going to go forward with this (slightly tortured) analogy, your car’s transmission requires special service just as your teeth and eyes do. You don’t go to a GP for your teeth or eyes; you need to see a specialist, like a dentist or an optometrist. Well, transmissions need their own specialists. Only the experts at a transmission shop and give your transmission the service it needs to keep operating efficiently and safely.

A Dental Hygienist Cleans Your Teeth. Does Transmission Service Merely Comprise Of Cleaning?

No, transmission service goes far beyond cleaning your transmission, though that can be a component. Transmissions sometimes need to be “cleaned” in the sense that sometimes transmission fluid becomes damaged, either by being burned or by accumulating too much particulate matter. In such cases, the transmission fluid might need to be flushed out and replaced with new fluid.

An Optometrist Tests Your Eyes To See If Your Eyesight Is Deteriorating. Does Transmission Service Involve Testing A Transmission For Problems?

Yes, transmission service means testing your transmission. That is how a transmission technician may come to learn that you have damaged transmission fluid. Whether you think you’ve noticed an issue with your transmission, or it’s been a while since your last checkup (e.g. 30,000 – 60,000 miles/45,000 – 90,000 km), bring your transmission in for a diagnostic service.

Mister Transmission’s Transmission Service Consists Of Our Hallmark Multi-Check Inspection.

Ryan Pelman
Mr.Transmission Peterborough is second to no none. After multiple quotes they won with the lowest cost to repair. DO NOT bother with dealers or a standard auto mechanic. Your transmission is is complex....and these guy's are working solely on them every day. There's a huge margin for error, which means bigger problems and more money. Do yourself a favor, call Mr. Transmission Peterborough for your fix people.

My wife's Subaru was experiencing a humming noise and rough shifting when the clutch was being pushed in. Mr. Transmission had a new clutch installed up within a week at a reasonable price. The Subaru drives great now. Very happy with the service here!

Chris Njoki
My 2016 Honda HRV had been making a growling noise at certain speeds. My regular mechanic wasn't certain what the issue was and he rightfully referred me to these transmission and driveline specialists. With a drive around the block and afew more tests, Mike was quickly able to diagnose that the issue was my driveshaft. He provided options and walked me through the whole repair process in a refreshingly transparent manner. By the next afternoon my car had a new driveshaft installed was running as good as new. I highly recommend this business!!

I took my 2017 Acura RDX to Rob about 2/3 weeks ago for a transmission fluid change. Rob gave me a lesson on transmissions and how they function with the engine which no mechanic I know has ever been able to explain to me. He was courteous, kind and very knowledgeable and professional. The car! It runs so smoothly now. Thank you Rob for the exceptional service.

Brad Hedderson
The owner Asan leads this company and his team with integrity, class, professionalism and is a MECHANICAL GENIUS! I had a nagging, complicated problem that could not be immediately repaired. Asan honored the original quote and continued to diagnose the vehicle using his sophisticated equipment combined with his unmatched insights until he pinpointed the likely elusive cause. He quickly found the needed replacement part and once installed, voila the issue was resolved. This service department is excellent with transmissions but has broad capabilities that make it a must first choice destination to bring your vehicle.
