Transmission Service

Whether your car, truck, van, or SUV has an automatic or manual transmission, this component is critical in maintaining safe and efficient driving. The transmission distributes power from your vehicle’s engine to the wheels, allowing them to turn. Although the transmission is a low-maintenance component, it will need the occasional service and, over time, may require repairs. Bill Volz Westchester is delighted to be your transmission service provider in Cortlandt, NY.

What Does Transmission Repair Include?

Your vehicle’s transmission is both crucial and complex. When it comes to service, it pays to go with the professionals at Bill Volz Westchester. Our qualified technicians have significant experience with Mopar transmissions and will carry out the service using only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and Mopar-approved transmission fluid.

Inspection and Diagnosis

A transmission diagnosis is a thorough examination that identifies problems and recommends repairs, usually after an inspection. This can involve tasks such as checking for leaking fluid in the housing, cooler line, and gaskets. The transmission diagnosis service also involves a qualified technician who reviews any performance issues, inspects the implicated components, and recommends a repair to restore everything to factory standards.

Transmission Fluid Change

Transmission fluid lubricates the moving elements of your transmission, preventing friction damage. This is true for both automatic and manual shifters. However, because automatic transmissions run hotter than manual ones, the fluid is both a coolant and a lubricant. The transmission fluid for an automatic may degrade or become polluted sooner than a manual gearbox, but driving behavior and other factors will also play a role.

Component Repair

Even with consistent upkeep, transmissions with higher mileage and those running in extreme conditions are more likely to sustain component damage that requires repair. Once a diagnosis has identified the issue, we offer a remedy to restore performance. We can repair torque converters, clutches, bearings, linkages, filters, bands, flexplates, solenoids, control units, sensors, and switches, among other crucial parts.

Finally, Bill Volz Westchester has the best service department for those needing a full transmission replacement. Few drivers look forward to replacing the transmission, yet this service is essential to extend a vehicle’s lifespan. We use a large number of licensed experts who will quickly replace your transmission.

What Are the Benefits of Dealership Transmission Service?

Our dealership mechanics receive factory training for all Mopar automakers, including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, and SRT, ensuring that every vehicle that comes through the door gets the best care. What’s more, all of our repairs use OEM components for any replacements. Broken or malfunctioning components are always replaced with duplicates that meet manufacturer criteria.

While your vehicle is protected by a manufacturer’s warranty or a dealership’s maintenance plan, it’s important to get the required maintenance your vehicle needs. A service checkup every few months is enough to make sure nothing needs to be done earlier than expected.

What Are the Signs of a Bad or Damaged Transmission?

The transmission is very important to the performance of your car. If your vehicle begins to exhibit any signs of a transmission problem, it’s smart to book a service as soon as possible to avoid further difficulties. The following are the most prevalent symptoms of a transmission problem:

• Inability to switch gears effectively.
• Slipping gears.
• Burning smell.
• Noises when in neutral.
• Leaking transmission fluid.
• Grinding noises.
• Shaking in the cabin.
• Clutch dragging.

Cortlandt Dealership Routine Transmission Service

A skilled transmission service is vital to ensure that your car runs properly and lasts for years or decades. Here are some of the critical benefits of timely transmission checkups and service.

Optimal Shifting and Performance

In most cases, you only need to change transmission fluid every few years or so, but it’s important to do this when needed for the gears to function properly. When old and unclean transmission fluid overheats, the transmission gears can get clogged, hampering the experience of rising up the gears. This may impact acceleration and cause your vehicle to feel less powerful.

Greater Fuel Economy

When the transmission is in good functioning order, the parts are put under less strain. With today’s gas prices, it’s nice to know that servicing your transmission and keeping it in good operating order will enhance your vehicle’s fuel economy.

Proper Transmission Fluid Health

If the transmission fluid is not replaced at regular intervals, it will degrade over time, becoming polluted with particles, such as metal shavings, from the clutch material. This polluted transmission fluid will be unable to execute its cooling and lubrication functions, affecting the whole system, as well as the engine and other driving components.

No Costly Repairs or Replacements

Transmissions have many moving parts and are relatively costly to fix or replace. If you wait too long, when difficulties arise, the damage can lead to a higher bill than expected. If a skilled technician inspects your vehicle’s transmission regularly, minor flaws will be spotted early and addressed properly.

Last but not least, getting these services and others done on time, and according to manufacturer specifications, will help maintain the car’s sale value. If you’re considering selling or trading in your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram for a newer model, a strong maintenance record means a better value and a bigger budget for your next vehicle.
