Includes:
Checking pan, seals, gears, and related components for wear, leaks, or potential issues.
When Needed:
As part of routine maintenance or if shifting problems occur.
Benefits:
- Detects early signs of transmission issues
- Ensures smooth, reliable performance
- Maximizes system lifespan
Fluid Compatibility Check
Includes:
Verifying that your vehicle has the correct transmission fluid for optimal efficiency and performance.

| Feature | Fluid Change | Fluid Flush |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Drain and replace a portion of the old fluid (40–60%) | Fully replace nearly all fluid (90–100%) and clean system |
| When Needed | Regular maintenance every 30k–60k miles | When fluid is heavily degraded or after towing/harsh driving |
| Process | Drain plug or pan removal; refill with new fluid | Machine-assisted or pressurized process replaces nearly all old fluid |
| Benefits | Refreshes fluid, maintains lubrication, lower cost | Restores full fluid performance, removes sludge, protects long term |
| Average Cost | $150–$250 | $200–$400 |
| Service Time | 1–2 hours | 2–3 hours |
| When to Choose | Preventive care or if fluid looks slightly dark | If fluid is burnt, shifting issues occur, or high mileage |
