Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is a total transmission fluid exchange. It is recommended that your transmission fluid be replaced every 30,000 miles. If your transmission fluid is dirty or deteriorating, you might be on the way to a transmission problem. A transmission flush may help prevent transmission problems before they happen.

What’s included:

• 100% extraction of tired, old fluid
• Removal of dirt, grit and abrasives
• Check for any leaks
• Fill with fresh, clean fluid

Timing Belt Service

Timing belts must be replaced on recommended intervals, often ranging from 60,000 to 105,000 miles (check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s replacement interval). A replacement timing belt should be installed if the old one shows signs of damages like cracks, cuts or excessive wear. If not replaced in time, chances are, it may break causing serious engine damage. The engine will stall because of the damages in the valves and pistons and destroyed cylinder head. Be wise and replace your timing belt because it is far less costly than the alternative.
