Don’t Service the Transmission When There is a Fault
Money spent on a transmission service / flush when there is a transmission problem is money down the drain because it doesn’t fix the problem. A service / flush also erases evidence of the failure, making further diagnostic difficult.
Hence we strongly suggest you get in touch with us first regarding any transmission issue / concerns. This will also make our job such easier too.
Compare Repair Options
For some transmissions, the repair and replacement (secondhand) costs are about the same, but the repair option is by far superior and backed up with a stronger warranty. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know this kind of information unless you spoke with a transmission specialist.
Transmissions in European & British vehicles (BMW, Audi, Range Rover, etc) tend to have commonly known issues. Replacing it with a secondhand unit may cost slightly less but carries a much higher risk. In which case, we will provide both options so that you can make an informed decision based on your requirements and budget.
Transmission Service is Important
We don’t believe in a life time oil. All transmissions should be serviced every 50,000km or 2 years whichever comes first. Transmissions with an inaccessible filter should be serviced every 25,000km or 1 year whichever comes first.
A transmission flush normally means replacing the transmission fluid only and not the filter, which collects metal debris from the wear & tear of the transmission. It should be replaced to prevent it from clogging up.

Transmission Service
Transmissions are highly precise & complex instruments. All forms of repairs are costly. Prevention is always better than cure.
A transmission should be serviced every 50,000km or 2 years whichever is earlier. Transmissions with an inaccessible filter should be serviced every 25,000km or 1 year whichever is earlier. Some manufacturers indicated that their transmission fluids (ATFs) are lifetime fluids, which is subject to scrutiny.
Most modern transmissions no longer have a dip-stick. Hence using the correct ATF & filling up to the correct level require expertise.
