Why transmission service matters
Your transmission relies on clean fluid to shift smoothly and stay cool. Over time that fluid wears out, and how often it should be changed varies by vehicle, so check your owner's manual for what the manufacturer recommends.
Fluid service and maintenance
We offer transmission service, with a focus on fluid service and routine maintenance. If you are noticing shifting problems, bring the car in so we can take a look. We work on all makes and models, including Mercedes-Benz.
Transmission repair and replacement
Fluid service is our main focus, but if a problem goes beyond fluid we also offer transmission repair and transmission replacement. Bring the car in and we will go over what we find and the options before any work is done.
Mercedes-Benz transmission service. We offer transmission fluid service and maintenance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. See our Mercedes-Benz repair page.
Signs your transmission needs attention
- Shifts feel rough, delayed or slipping

- A warning light that may relate to the transmission
- Whining or clunking when the car changes gears
- It has been a long time since the transmission fluid was serviced
Small shifting problems are easier to deal with early than after they get worse. Call (954) 454-6020 or come by and talk to us.
