Transmission Fluid Exchange

Service Description

An automatic transmission has a lot of moving parts – all bathed in Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to keep things running smoothly. ATF, like all auto fluids, can break down over time because of high heat. As the fluid fails, your transmission works harder and hotter, and you may end up with an expensive repair. An Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) exchange (some people call it a “transmission flush” or a “transmission fluid change”) protects your transmission from wear, helps prevent the need for repairs and keeps you shifting smoothly down the road.

Included in your service:

Complete flush of old transmission fluid
Replace with fresh, new transmission fluid
