Wondering if you should schedule your car for a transmission flush? First, check your owner's manual to find your vehicle's proper maintenance schedule. A flush should be considered part of your routine preventative maintenance. If you believe your car is having some mechanical issues, get those looked at first; especially if there's trouble shifting gears or strange noises. There are major differences between a fluid flush and fluid change, and knowing which to choose is key in preserving the health of your vehicle.
The primary difference between a transmission fluid change and a transmission flush is that the flush fully removes all fluid whereas a fluid change drains the fluid but not all of it is removed, thus some impurities are left behind. A flush uses a machine and typically a cleaning solution through the transmission lines until it comes out completely clean and then fills up the transmission with new fluid. Both fluid changes and flushes improve the performance and extend the life of your vehicle, but the flush goes the extra mile in removing engine grime and debris.

Puts your smile back on!!
Luckily we make it easy and worry free to take care of your transmission: A-1 Transmission is located in Lakewood, WA and open Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM. Call 253-581-1479 to schedule your appointment.
When it comes to their car's transmission, Tacoma residents choose A1 because we treat our customers like friends and neighbors. Whether you need a repair, flush or full replacement, we keep costs minimal and explain what's going on in plain English. Because there are so many parts that interact with the transmission, problems can be easily misdiagnosed by shops that lack our expertise. With that being said, we won't be able to know what's wrong with your transmission until we take a look inside. There are just too many variables to consider. Never trust anyone doing diagnostics over the phone. Symptoms you describe like vibrations, noises, or leaks could mean any number of possible problems, and not necessarily a single issue.
Our customers appreciate that we always take the time to accurately diagnose problems and are honest with our findings. If your problems aren't actually transmission related we won't try to sell you something you don't need. We do, however, hope that you'll allow us to provide the necessary repairs. Although our specialty is the auto transmission, we know Tacoma drivers need maintenance for all parts of their vehicle - so we fix other mechanical problems, too. Whether your check engine light is on or your brake pads are worn, we have a team of ASE certified mechanics to get your car back to its peak performance.
Transmission repairs are typically stressful, inconvenient, and expensive - that's why it's our mission to provide our customers with the highest quality repair work at fair prices. We are committed to service and quality - call today for the best transmission service in Tacoma!

Transmission Flush
Transmission Tacoma
Wondering if you should schedule your car for a transmission flush? First, check your owner's manual to find your vehicle's proper maintenance schedule.

If you believe your car is having some mechanical issues, get those looked at first; especially if there's trouble shifting gears or strange noises.

Not sure which to choose? Our certified technicians will help determine what's best for your vehicle. When we perform a transmission flush we recommend including a full pan removal and new filter. This can increase the cost, but it will help extend the life of your transmission. We like to check the pan because it's the best way to recognize current or near-future issues. Any excess of gunk, grime, or metal flakes means that your car could have serious issues and getting a flush could make it worse.
There are debates as to whether this procedure is really necessary. The problem that most people seem to have with the transmission flush is the concept of using force via machines to blast cleaning solution and/or fluid through the system. Car owners and manufacturers alike have concerns about possible damage to seals and valves. Some believe that flushing your vehicle may lodge the gunk and residue somewhere where it shouldn't be, which could cause additional problems or even engine failure. With so many variables, it's easy to see why this procedure isn't one to do on a whim or do yourself.
We know one of the biggest factors for the customer in determining whether or not to get a full flush is the cost. Because the full flush uses more transmission fluid, it can be double the price of a fluid change. Other factors that affect the cost are the make and model of your car, the type of fluid used, and any additional services you elect such as the filter replacement and pan removal.
Need maintenance for your transmission? Call 253-581-1479 to schedule your appointment with your local Tacoma transmission experts! One of our knowledgeable team members will do a full inspection of your transmission to diagnose any potential problems with the flush. We will advise you honestly if a transmission flush is the right type of service for your vehicle.
