Transmission Service

How Often Should I Get My Vehicle's Transmission Serviced or Repaired?

While your transmission may not have the same level of wear as your neighbor, all drivers can't put off service forever. Our Ford service team recommends you get transmission service every couple of years. We'll perform annual transmission inspections to ensure you get smooth, uninterrupted shifting and power transfer.

Our service team encourages you to get service every 30,000 miles or 2-years, whichever comes first. We'll perform a transmission flush during this appointment to ensure you have no issues impacting your ability to shift safely. You should watch for any signs that indicate you need immediate transmission service or repair. If you notice that your gears are slipping while shifting, you hear odd noises while shifting, or you can smell burning transmission fluid, there's a good chance you need service as soon as possible.

Why is Routine Transmission Service Important?

No matter how careful you are with your transmission, normal wear and tear is bound to occur. Without routine maintenance from the experts at Advantage Ford Fremont, your car, truck, or SUV can't hit its peak performance level and properly transfer power from the engine to the wheels - you won't be able to drive without your transmission. We'll check the corresponding components in your vehicle and ensure they meet our service standards.
