Signs You May Need Transmission Service

Transmission issues don’t always show up all at once. Here are signs it’s time to get yours checked:

  • Slipping gears

    If your car unexpectedly shifts or loses power while driving, your transmission may be struggling to stay engaged.

  • Rough or delayed shifting

    Hesitation or jerking between gears often signals worn components or low fluid.

  • Burning smell

    Overheated or dirty transmission fluid can emit a sharp, burnt odor — not something to ignore.

  • Leaking red fluid

    Bright or dark red fluid under your car could be a sign of a transmission leak.

  • Check engine light

    Many transmission issues trigger your check engine light — especially if paired with shifting problems.

What Our Transmission Service Includes

Transmission issues aren’t always as bad as they seem — sometimes, a basic service is all you need. Here’s what a typical visit covers:

Transmission fluid change or flush

Replaces dirty or low fluid to help prevent overheating, slipping, and long-term wear.

Filter replacement (if applicable)

Some vehicles have transmission filters that trap debris — replacing them improves performance.

Leak detection

Techs check for cracks, worn seals, or loose connections causing fluid loss.

Shift quality check

The mechanic will test how your vehicle shifts through gears to catch any irregularities.
