Anything Auto
Transmission Flushes
These are my favorite. I see too many transmissions fail just because of simple neglect. You want to make sure you flush your fluid before it gets dirty, not when it is dirty! When its dirty is too late.
I suggest flushing or doing a drain and fill every 30k and doing the filter(if your vehicle has one) every 90k. Its the cheapest insurance you can do to keep your transmission working in good order.
This includes draining and filling the system twice with up to 2 gallons of transmission fluid. The next we have to offer is an actual transmission flush with the machine. This flushes 4 gallons of fluid. This service costs $134. Some vehicles will actual have a filter inside of the transmission pan that can be serviced
To replace this filter the cost would be around $200-250 though some cars can be more if its hard to get it. If you pan is also leaking this would actually fix that problem at the same time.

Cylinder Block
A cylinder block is the powerhouse for the motor vehicle. The solid cast car part houses the cylinders and their components (gaskets, valves, and seals) inside a lubricated and cooled crankcase. Since it is one of the most important parts of your car, the block is designed to be extremely strong and sturdy. Although strong and sturdy, the block is susceptible to failure resulting in a vehicle that won’t start.
Cylinder Head
A cylinder head is the closed end of a cylinder (located in a car’s engine block). It sits above the cylinder block, closing the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber. The cylinder head coordinates airflow in and out of the engine. Since the cylinder head’s chief function is to seal the cylinders properly, insufficient compression results in the car being difficult to drive
Diesel
Although diesel engines don’t require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance.
Transmission specialists on foreign and domestic vehicles
specialize in transmission repair on nearly every make, model and year of vehicle. Most people don’t understand the importance of working transmission in their vehicle. drive down the road and hear engine rev up and down, but don’t think about how much work transmission performs to get us from point A to point B.
Many people also think only automatic transmissions need to be replaced. It is true that automatic transmissions are more complex and work harder, but manual transmissions also experience issues from time to time.
Signals That Something May Be Amiss With Your Vehicle’s Transmission
Burning Fluid Odors
Transmission fluid that’s intensely hot takes on a noticeable odor reminiscent of burning rubber. Burnt transmission fluid usually suggests the presence of a leak making its way onto very hot engine components. Burnt transmission fluid odor can also suggest fluid that’s very dirty and needs changed like the oil in your engine.
Slipping Transmission Woes
Automatic transmission slipping can also point to the need for repair service. If you notice your vehicle skipping from first to third gear or second to forth gear, bring your vehicle in right away for us to diagnose and determine the problem.
Slow or Inconsistent Vehicle Engagement
If it takes your vehicle longer than usual to engage and begin accelerating down the road, your transmission may be responsible. Don’t ever assume sluggish engagement is normal
Neutral Sounds
If you’re concerned about your vehicle’s transmission, concentrate on your vehicle when it’s in neutral. If the transmission seems unnaturally loud, you could have an issue with the transmission oil pump or transmission oil filter.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine maintenance is vital to keep your car or truck operating at peak performance. It also impacts the longevity of your vehicle’s engine.
Check Engine Light
No one likes to see their car’s “Check Engine” light come on. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap
Diesel
Although diesel engines don’t require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:
Changing the oil & filter
Changing the air filter
Changing the fuel filter
Bleeding the fuel system
Draining the water separators
Refilling the urea injection system
Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an engine. Since 1990, fuel injectors have completely replaced carburetors as the primary means of getting gasoline into the engine. A fuel injector atomizes the fuel by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle (under high pressure). Failure of the fuel injection system means poor performance and ultimately destroys the engine.
Ignition
An ignition system is a system for igniting (using an electric spark) a mixture of fuel and air in a gasoline engine. A properly working ignition system means a properly starting engine and high performance from your car
Transmission Trouble Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you’re like most people, car trouble is high on your list of the things that give you headaches. Not only does car trouble put a damper on your day, and seriously slow things down, but it usually means you have to empty your pockets of all your cash.
While some issues, such as a flat tire, are a relatively easy fix, others aren’t so much. Take your vehicle’s transmission, for example. No matter if you drive an automatic or manual, they are usually the more complicated issues to fix.
Transmission 101
You probably have a vague idea as to what your transmission is, and you more than likely understand that when your vehicle has transmission issues, it means big trouble. However, most people’s knowledge stops there.
Automatic Transmissions
Automatic transmissions are the most common type, and most brand new cars have them. However, they are more complicated, and rely on a torque converter to engage the engine and gears.
The torque converter is a complicated system but, in short, it works like this: When the engine is spinning slowly, very little torque is used in the converter and, likewise, when the engine is quickly spinning, just about all of the engine’s torque is converted into the transmission. This explains why your vehicle may creep while idling or when in drive. That is the torque which is being applied to the shaft.
