What is a Transmission Tune-up?

Why Get a Routine Transmission Tune-Up?

Just like your vehicle needs a regular oil change to keep the oil clean and at optimal levels, you need to get your transmission regularly checked. If you skip your oil changes, then the health of your vehicle will be negative impacted, which can shorten the lifespan of your vehicle. It very similar to the health of your transmission, a transmission tune-up can catch low or dirty transmission fluid and other transmission problems before they become a problem for the health of your transmission.


How Often Should You Get a Transmission Tune-Up?

This can vary by the model and make of your vehicle, so it is important to check with your specific vehicle manual. For a general guideline, we recommend a transmission tune-up every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, or sooner if you are towing heavy loads or live an extreme climate. The extra strain on your vehicle from heavy loads can quickly put a lot of wear ‘n tear on your transmission. Just like extremely hot or extremely cold weather does not treat your transmission well.
