The Importance of Chevy Transmission Service

As one of the hardest-working components of your vehicle, your automatic transmission, manual transmission or CVT, gives you the power to accelerate and go when you need to. Offering smooth handling at every turn, your transmission needs proper care to ensure fuel economy and performance.

When you schedule transmission service at our Chevy service center, our team inspects the entire system, ensuring that there are no leaks or transmission problems that could cause expensive transmission repairs in the future. Our certified technicians inspect the drain plug, check the fluid level, inspect the pan gasket and transmission pan and ensure there are no leaks in the drain pan or cooler line.

When performing transmission service and a transmission fluid flush, we perform a transmission fluid exchange and use a flushing machine to add in a cleaner before adding fresh fluid. It’s common for transmission fluid to become filled with dirt, sludge, varnish or debris. If not cleaned and flushed as needed, this could negatively impact how your vehicle accelerates and consumes fuel.

The team at our Chevy service center is here to care for your vehicle’s transmission, regardless of the make or model. We also help you to stay on top of routine maintenance by providing a maintenance schedule as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer and noted in your owner’s manual.

The Timeline for Chevy Transmission Service

Automatic transmission service is obviously necessary to keep your vehicle running smoothly, but the timeline is also important. Most manufacturers recommend transmission service and a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or two years. How and where you drive affects this recommended timeline, though.

For instance, if you drive in very warm climates on a regular basis, it’s likely the transmission fluid will not lubricate as it should over time. Your driving habits can also affect the timeline. If you hover your foot over the brake pedal when driving, this adds pressure and stress to the overall system, begging the need for transmission service or a transmission fluid flush more often.

There are also signs you may notice that indicate the need for automatic transmission service or a transmission flush. When checking the fluid level, if you notice that the transmission fluid is dark or cloudy or features a burning odor, we recommend scheduling transmission service at our Chevy Service Center.

Other signs that you may need a transmission fluid flush or transmission service is when a grinding noise is present, it’s more difficult to shift, you notice a delay when trying to accelerate or the check engine light has illuminated. The certified technicians at our Chevy Service Center will perform a thorough inspection of your system to help ward off problems in the future. Once transmission service is complete, you’ll notice a clear difference in how your vehicle consumes fuel and performs.

Proper Care for Your System

Trusting transmission service to our qualified technicians is important. However, in between service visits, there are ways that you can help protect the system and enhance your vehicle’s performance.

Check the Fluid Level: Not only is the fluid level important, but the appearance of the fluid offers some signs that you may need transmission service. If you smell a burning odor or the fluid is dark and cloudy, it’s time to schedule a transmission flush.

Care for the Cooling System: Your cooling system helps to cool down the transmission and engine. When your vehicle runs hot, it could indicate transmission problems or low coolant levels. We are happy to help you troubleshoot the problem when you schedule transmission service at our Chevy service center.
