Auto Transmission Service – Longmont, CO

The automobile’s transmission plays a crucial role in the overall operation of the vehicle. It is responsible for changing the gears of the engine, thus transferring the power of the engine to the wheels, which keeps the vehicle moving forward. A properly maintained transmission makes all the difference in the car’s performance, so it’s important to have it serviced per the vehicle’s specifications. Best Auto of Longmont offers auto transmission services, to include repairs and maintenance, using state-of-the-art technology and products that will help to ensure your transmission functions at its peak.

One of the keys to keeping the transmission in good health is to regularly change the transmission fluid. Dirty or old fluid can wreak havoc on the transmission’s performance, causing problems with the gears shifting, loss of acceleration, or even transmission failure.

Some common signs that indicate your transmission needs serviced include:

• Leaking transmission fluid – This sign is easy to detect. If fluid is noticed under the vehicle, it could be the result of a transmission fluid leak.
• Transmission slips – If your transmission starts slipping, there are several factors that could be the culprit, such as internal transmission issues, fluid contamination, or low transmission fluid.
• Hesitation when shifting – When the transmission hesitates to go into gear, it could be the result of low or contaminated fluid. Water intrusion can also cause this issue.
• Buzzing or humming noise – Such noises can be the result of internal damage or leaking fluid.
• Transmission won’t engage – If your car doesn’t move when put into gear, this could be due to issues with the shifter or its cable, or low or leaking transmission fluid.
• Check engine light displays – While a check engine light can indicate a multitude of issues, it can also be a good indicator that the transmission needs serviced. Taking your car in to have the trouble codes retrieved is the first step to determining the engine’s issue.
