Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I service my car’s transmission?
A: Most automatic transmissions should be serviced every 60,000–90,000 km. Manual transmissions can last longer but still need regular fluid checks and adjustments.

Q: What are the signs of a worn clutch?
A: If your clutch pedal feels soft, your engine revs but speed doesn’t increase, or you notice a burning smell, your clutch may be slipping and require inspection.

Q: Do you service both manual and automatic transmissions?
A: Yes. Our technicians are trained in both manual clutch systems and modern automatic or CVT transmissions, including electronic control diagnostics.

Q: Can transmission problems cause poor fuel economy?
A: Yes. A slipping clutch or worn transmission can make your engine work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and higher fuel consumption.
