Why it matters around Zion
Towing a boat to North Point Marina, rocking a car out of snow, and stop and go traffic on Grand Avenue all heat transmission fluid. Heat is what wears fluid out. If you tow or drive mostly short trips, ask us whether your vehicle should get transmission service sooner than the normal schedule.
Questions and answers
Should I flush my transmission fluid?
Follow your vehicle maker schedule. Some transmissions call for a drain and fill, some for a filter change, and some for a specific fluid only. We look up the correct procedure and fluid for your vehicle.
Do you rebuild transmissions?
Call us at (847) 746-7649 with your vehicle and symptoms. We diagnose the problem first and explain your options, including whether a repair or a replacement unit makes more sense.
Is a slipping transmission safe to drive?
A slipping transmission can leave you without power in traffic. Drive it as little as possible and have it checked soon.
