Rough shifts, slipping, or just due for maintenance? A proper transmission fluid service with the correct fluid is one of the cheapest ways to protect an expensive part.
The transmission is one of the most expensive components in your car, and the cheapest insurance for it is clean, correct fluid changed on schedule. Old, burnt transmission fluid loses its ability to lubricate and cool, which is how good transmissions turn into rebuild quotes. TAB Motors services your transmission with the exact fluid your vehicle requires, using the wrong fluid does real harm, so this is not a place to cut corners.
Catch problems early: a delay before the car engages when you shift into drive or reverse, hard or jerky shifts, a slipping feeling where the engine revs but the car doesn't accelerate, a burnt smell, or red fluid on your driveway. Any of these is worth a look before it becomes a major repair. We'll check the fluid and, if needed, run diagnostics to read transmission fault codes.
If a fluid service will help, we'll do it and you'll feel smoother shifts. If your transmission is beyond what fluid can fix, we'll tell you that honestly rather than sell you a service that won't solve the problem, the same straight talk our customers count on.
It varies widely, some vehicles call for it around 60,000 miles, others longer. We'll check your fluid's condition and your manufacturer's schedule and give you a straight recommendation.
Sometimes, if it's caught early and the fluid is the issue. If there's internal wear, fluid alone won't fix it, and we'll tell you that honestly.
Very much. Modern transmissions are specific about fluid type. The wrong fluid can cause shifting problems and damage, so we always use the correct spec.
It can be. Bring it in; we'll check fluid level and condition and scan for codes to find the cause.
That's likely a transmission fluid leak. Come in before the level drops enough to cause damage.
