Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Not always! This is the biggest fear, but slipping is often caused by low, old, or burnt-out transmission fluid. It can also be a failing solenoid or a clogged filter. We always investigate the simple (and cheaper) solutions first.
Your owner’s manual is the best guide, but it depends on your car and how you drive. If you do a lot of towing, hauling, or heavy stop-and-go city driving, you should probably change it more often. Fresh fluid is the single best and cheapest way to make your transmission last.
Absolutely. Your car’s engine and transmission computers talk to each other. A bad transmission sensor or a shifting problem will almost always trigger the check engine light. We’ll scan the codes to see exactly which system is reporting the fault.
