If you want to improve the performance and lifespan of your vehicle, then a transmission tune-up is highly recommended. Although it should be a regular maintenance, a transmission tune-up is commonly disregarded and overlooked. Discover why a transmission tune-up is recommended for you and how it can make a significant impact on the longevity of your vehicle.


What is a Transmission Tune-up?

A transmission tune-up is also known as a transmission preventative maintenance. When you bring your vehicle to Eagle Transmission Mesquite for a transmission tune-up, your vehicle will get a comprehensive inspection. Our comprehensive transmission inspection examines all things pertaining to your transmission. We perform a test drive, check transmission fluid, and ensure that the transmission is functioning as it should.


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.
