Transmission Service Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my transmission fluid?
For most vehicles, transmission fluid should be changed every 50,000 to 100,000 km. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations.
What are the signs of a failing transmission?
Common symptoms include slipping gears, rough shifting, fluid leaks, delayed acceleration, and unusual noises.
How much does transmission repair cost?
The cost varies depending on the issue. A fluid change is relatively inexpensive, while a complete rebuild can be more costly. We provide honest estimates before any work is done.
Can I drive with a slipping transmission?
Driving with a slipping transmission can cause further damage and expensive repairs. It’s best to have it inspected as soon as possible.
Do you offer warranties on transmission repairs?
Yes! We stand by our work with warranty coverage for parts and labor. Contact us for details on our guarantees.


How often should I have a transmission fluid and filter service?
The good news is you don’t have to change transmission fluid as often as motor oil.
It’s generally recommended you get your transmission fluid exchanged every 40,000 to 60,000 kms or every two-to-three years – whichever comes first.


What is a manual transmission service?
Whether you have front- or rear-wheel drive, transmissions are required to transmit the necessary power and torque from your engine to your vehicle’s drive wheels.
Transmissions allow an engine to operate at a few speeds or gears, while your vehicle can travel at a large range of speeds.
