     Q. How do I know when my transmission needs to be serviced?

     A. When the fluid begins to change from a clean red color to a darker color, or every20-25 thousand miles.

     Q. Are there other things that can go wrong with my car that can affect my transmission also?

     A. Yes, with today's electronic engine components, and transmission parts, there can often be a problem with the electronics in other operating areas of your car that will cause a poor perfomance in your transmission. That is why we need more technically trained employees today.  We have purchased state of the art        equipment, including several electronic scanners that will help in the correct diagnosis of your transmission and other electrical problems.    Check for a modern well equiped shop in your area when you need to have work done.

   Q. Why does it cost so much to have a transmission repaired?

       A. Todays transmissions are a much more complicated "machine" than their predecessors, and often they are jammed into much smaller and tighter spaces than the components of the cars were years ago. This makes working on them much more difficult, along with the fact that the average transmission technician today, needs to be trained in both electronics and computerized parts in order to keep up with the modern transmissions of our times.   There are far more parts in the           transmissions of today. No longer can a company keep every                    transmission in stock, nor can the average company keep a complete         inventory of all the parts.  If you add up the above changes in the                 industry, you'll begin to get the answer to the question...
                 "Why does it cost so much?". 

     Q. Why does the transmission fluid change to a dark brown or a                          blackish color when it was just changed recently?

       A.  The reason it changes color so quickly is that the red dye is                     temperature related, and if your fluid is changing color quickly, then the transmission is overheating for some reason, possibly slippage in the transmission, or lack of lubrication.  If you have this problem then it is time to have it checked out by an  independent shop in your area.
