Transmission Flush
Many manufacturers suggest a vehicle should have a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years. However, if you recognize any common warning signs, it may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the most common warning signs you will notice in your transmission are as follows: grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. When we flush the used fluid from the transmission, it washes away particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings.
