Transmission Service: Slipping Problems? It’s time for a Transmission Repair!

If your vehicle’s transmission is starting to slip, should you have a transmission service to change the transmission fluid and filter?  The answer depends on the age and mileage of your vehicle.  It’s time to seek professional advice about transmission repair.

  • Lower Mileage Cars – Generally, for newer vehicles with less than 80,000 miles, it is recommended to have a transmission service every 25,000 miles, including changing the fluid and internal filter.  Regular service can provide longer life expectancy, smoother shifting, and increased performance.  If you maintain your engine early on in the life of your vehicle, you can save yourself a lot of trouble and avoid a costly transmission repair.

Brake Repair: How Do I Know When My Vehicle Needs New Brakes?

When a brake master cylinder begins to go bad or fails, you will notice a soft or squishy feeling when you press down on the brakes. When constant pressure is maintained on the pedal (like at a stop light), it will begin to sink to the floor and go farther down than normal as the brake fluid leaks internally in the master cylinder. This is called "extended travel." When this occurs you will have to "pump" the pedal to regain normal pressure and to keep the car from moving forward as the brakes slowly release. The red brake warning dash light should come on to indicate low fluid, or excessive movement "travel."  Don’t delay in calling your auto mechanic for a brake repair for the safety of you and your passengers.
