Maximize Your Car's Performance with Transmission Fluid Service

What is transmission fluid service all about?

To ensure that your vehicle continues to operate smoothly and efficiently, it is important to perform a transmission flush. This procedure removes any old automatic transmission fluid (ATF), debris, and grime in the system before replacing them with fresh ATF. The new fluid helps cool and lubricate components of an automatic gearbox for smoother shifting as well as improved acceleration - without these elements grinding against each other inside the car's transmission potentially leading to sludge build-up!

What are the signs that it's time to change your transmission fluid?

Has your transmission fluid suddenly become a deep brown or black color? That could mean that foreign particles have infiltrated the ATF. If you're experiencing poor coordination between your engine and vehicle, like delayed engagement when the engine engages, be on alert: ineffective ATF or a leak might be to blame. Additionally, if shifting feels or sounds different than usual - again this could point towards problematic ATF fluid levels or an underlying issue caused by a possible leakage.

What happens if you don’t do transmission fluid change on time?

If you neglect to change your transmission fluid, it will soon break down and be unable to perform its purpose of lubrication or cleaning. The resulting high temperatures, sludge buildup and too much friction can then cause internal damage to the gear-shifting clutches.

How much does it cost to change your transmission fluid?

The expense of replacing transmission fluid can differ depending on a range of elements, such as the model and make of your car, the required kind of transmission fluid, and labor costs at your local auto shop. Ultimately, these components will decide how much you'll need to pay for that new gearbox oil.

On average, transmission fluid changes cost between $80 to $250. However, depending on the vehicle type and complexity of its system, this number can fluctuate greatly - luxury and sports cars typically requiring more specialized fluids with higher labor costs.

Furthermore, a full flush of the transmission can be more expensive than just changing the fluid. This draining and refilling process entails getting rid of every trace of old fluid to make way for fresh liquid; costs range from $150-$400 depending on your vehicle type.

I scheduled brake service after my dealer said I would need to do it. I assumed that the rear brakes are what required service. When the technician came he checked the brakes and told me the rear brakes were as good as new. They serviced the front brakes on another appointment. I was very impressed by the honesty and efficiency, with no attempt to up-sell unnecesary work. All at very reasonable rates, especially compared to the dealership. Will definitely use them again.

Replaced brake pads and rotors on my 2013 Chevy Equinox. I am traveling to attend a wedding in Virginia and drove from Chicago. Having car problem in Northern Virginia where I don’t know anyone. RJ was very friendly and helped me fix my car promptly with very reasonable price. Mechanic came to my hotel and changed the brake pads and rotors on my rear wheels. This was very convenient and so easy. Thanks for the help.

I was super skeptical about this at first as it seemed a bit too good to be true - as in, I don’t have to deal with the headache of dropping my car to the garage, wait for hours and not know when the car will be ready? Turns out, using Instant Car Fix really was pain free. Pricing was clear upfront, the mechanic came on time and all occurred while I was at home. Highly recommended and will definitely use again

They were very honest, efficient and showed me the work needed for the vehicle. They did not attempt to sell unnecessary work. They have very reasonable rates and will definitely use them again. I highly recommend!

My passenger side rearview mirror was broken and needed replacing. I submitted a request o several businesses on Yelp and Instant Car Fix got back to me the quickest. The fact that they come to your location makes things incredibly easy. All we had to do was wait for the part to ship and the repairs took less than 30 minutes. Great company!

Arrived at my house on time, did a great job. Saved me the trouble of limping my car to a shop, and did it for far less than other quotes. I would recommend them to anyone needing a repair - .

This was fantastic! I googled for somewhere to get new brakes and rotors and when I first heard about the mobile autoshop, I was hesitant. But the guy came and fixed it and honestly, I'm really not going to go back waiting hours in an autoshop. 5 stars.

This is by far and away the best experience I’ve had with any mechanic. They arrived early, got the job done fast and even explained what they were doing so I could get a better understanding of my vehicle. Not to mention the fact that they were lower in cost than the quotes I received from other companies. The service and convenience just can’t be beat.
