What to Expect
Fluid services same-day, larger jobs one to two days
Transmission fluid changes are typically completed within a few hours. Clutch replacements usually take a full day. More extensive transmission work, including rebuilds, may take one to two days depending on the vehicle and parts availability.
We provide a complete estimate before beginning any transmission work. The scope and cost vary significantly depending on the issue, so call us to discuss what you are experiencing. Our pricing is transparent and more affordable than dealership service departments.
German Car Expertise
German transmissions require specific fluids and service procedures. Mercedes 722-series automatics need particular fluid types and careful fill procedures. BMW ZF transmissions are often marketed as “lifetime fill” but benefit greatly from regular fluid changes. Audi and VW DSG dual-clutch transmissions have their own service intervals and require specialized fluid.
Mike has been working with these transmission families for decades and knows the specific requirements for each. We also welcome all other foreign makes and models.
