A Leaking Cooling System can Lead to Engine Failure

Taking care of your radiator and cooling system can prevent you from being stranded on the side of the road with steam rising from under your hood.

Why Service the Transmission?
Your vehicle's transmission is bolted to the motor and shifts the vehicle into different planetary gears allowing it to go from slow to fast speeds smoothly. Every transmission has fluid inside, and you must service it according to the manufacturer's recommendations every so often depending on the vehicle make.
What is a Transmission Service?
A transmission service consists of draining the old fluid and changing it out with new. You must use the right fluid as you can damage parts when using the wrong kind. Most transmissions also have a filter that requires changing, and this requires removal of the transmission pan underneath the vehicle.
