Surrey Transmission Service: Is It Really Necessary?

As a Surrey transmission service provider, CJ Auto will often see vehicle’s come in that did not undergo regular maintenance. This not only can lead to emergency repairs; it can also be the reason why your vehicle is consuming so much fuel, as well as be the cause for costly transmission breakdowns.

Overall, your transmission is what helps your engine move power to the wheels, and should ideally do so in the most efficient manner when maintained.

What Types of Transmissions Are There?

Modern vehicles have three different types of transmissions:

  1. Standard or Manual Shift Transmission – which mainly requires clutch maintenance.
  2. Automatic Transmissions – which requires fluid changes and filter maintenance.
  3. Continuously Variable Transmissions –  which requires fluid changes and inspections.

With your vehicle’s transmission, regardless of type, being one of the costliest mechanical issues to fix, keeping it in good working order is both cost-effective, provide optimal operation safety, and add to your peace of mind.

Signs Your Transmission May Need Servicing

  • Difficulty shifting
  • Slipping gears
  • Grinding noises

Over time your transmission fluid breaks down and stops protecting the many moving parts that need lubricating. Which is where our transmission service in Surrey comes in to help remove build-up and restore smooth driving within your vehicle.

Surrey Transmission Service – Time for a Transmission Fluid Change?

As mentioned on our transmission service page

For automatic and CVT transmissions, a fluid change (using the specialized type for your make and model) often fixes transmission problems. So if you have any doubts or concerns about your transmission – get the fluid changed.

Typical service intervals for automatic and CVT transmissions are 150,000 km. However, if you drive hills or tow a trailer, more often is better.
