Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Transmission Serviced?
A regular transmission service schedule depends on multiple factors including your driving habits, the type of vehicle, and manufacturer recommendations. Typically, it is advisable to have your transmission checked every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
However, frequent city driving in Oviedo, with its stop-and-go traffic, might necessitate more frequent checks to ensure optimal performance and prevent issues. Regular servicing can greatly enhance the longevity of your transmission, save on potential repair costs, and improve overall driving safety.
What Are the Signs of Transmission Problems?
Signs of transmission problems can include difficulty shifting gears, strange noises such as whining or grinding, leaking transmission fluid, or sluggish acceleration.
A burning smell, particularly after driving for a period, can also signify overheating transmission fluid. Prompt attention to these symptoms can prevent minor issues from escalating into major repairs.
Is Transmission Repair Covered by Warranty?
At Christian Brothers Automotive Oviedo, we offer an industry-leading warranty on our services, a testament to our confidence in the quality and reliability of our workmanship.
Depending on the specifics of your vehicle's existing manufacturer warranty, certain repairs or services may also be covered. We encourage our customers to understand their warranty coverage thoroughly so they can take full advantage of it during repairs.
Can I Drive With a Bad Transmission?
It is not advisable to drive with a faulty transmission as it can exacerbate existing issues and cause significant damage to the engine and additional vehicle systems.
Should you notice any symptoms of transmission problems, it's prudent to have your vehicle assessed by our qualified technicians immediately. Prompt intervention can save from greater repairs and ensure your vehicle remains safe to drive.
Why Is It Important to Use Quality Transmission Fluid?
High-quality transmission fluid is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of your vehicle's transmission. It helps with lubrication, cooling, and protecting the various components from wear and tear.
Low-quality or worn-out fluid can lead to inefficient performance, overheating, and premature breakdowns. At Christian Brothers Automotive Oviedo, we only use transmission fluids that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications to guarantee the best performance and longevity for our customers' vehicles.
FAQs
-
Q. "What factors determine the price of transmission repair?"Many different factors go into determining costs of transmission repair. The major factor is what type of vehicle you drive. The year, make and model of the car, determine how much parts and labor will cost. Another factor is how much damage the transmission has sustained. Your transmission should last a minimum of 100,000 miles by servicing your transmission on a regular basis.
-
Q. "What does automatic transmission service include?"Fluid is first drained from the pan during an automatic transmission service. A new transmission filter is installed with a new pan gasket once the pan has been removed. Finally, fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is used to refill the vehicle.
-
Q. "Is there a difference between a transmission fluid change and flush?"During a transmission fluid and filter change, it’s only the fluid in the pan that is drained and replaced with new ATF. Four to five quarts of fluid will typically be replaced in this process, while nine to thirteen quarts are replaced during a full transmission fluid flush. The difference in amounts is because the complete flush drains the entire system.
