Transmission Service FAQ
How often should I service my transmission?
Most manufacturers recommend a transmission fluid change every 30,000-60,000 miles. European vehicles like BMW often need more frequent service due to their advanced transmission systems. We recommend checking your owner's manual and having your transmission inspected annually at our North Center shop.
What are signs my transmission needs repair?
Common signs include slipping gears, delayed shifting, grinding noises, burning smells, or dark/contaminated transmission fluid. If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle in for immediate diagnosis.
How long does transmission repair take?
Simple fluid services take 1-2 hours. Minor repairs may take 4-8 hours. Complete rebuilds typically require 2-3 days. We provide accurate time estimates after diagnosis and keep you informed throughout the process.
What types of vehicles do you service?
We service all makes and models including European vehicles (BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo), domestic vehicles (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, RAM), and Asian vehicles (Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru). We have the specialized tools, diagnostic equipment, and expertise required for all transmission types including DSG, CVT, and traditional automatics.
