Your vehicle’s transmission is one of its most critical (and expensive) components — and often, it’s one of the most neglected.
Many drivers don’t think about transmission care until something goes wrong… and by then, the repair bill can be thousands of dollars.
At Greatstate Transmissions in Corpus Christi, Texas, we’re here to help you avoid costly breakdowns with simple, affordable maintenance that can save you thousands over the life of your vehicle!
What Is Transmission Maintenance?
Transmission maintenance is more than just fixing problems — it’s about preventing them.
Regular transmission service typically includes:
- Transmission fluid change or flush
- Inspection of seals, gaskets, and filters
- Checking for leaks and wear
- Diagnostic scans for hidden issues
Reminder: If you need a transmission diagnosis, vehicles must be dropped off and it may take up to two days. We’ll assess the situation carefully and give you clear options, so you can make the best decision.
Why Maintenance Matters
Prevent Costly Repairs
Transmission repairs and replacements are among the most expensive automotive repairs, often ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 or more.
Routine maintenance — like fluid changes — costs only a fraction of that. A simple service now can help you avoid major breakdowns later.
Extend the Life of Your Vehicle
Your transmission works hard every time you drive.
Fresh fluid reduces friction and heat, helping your transmission parts last longer. Regular check-ups ensure everything is working as it should, giving your car many more miles of reliable performance.
Catch Problems Early
Small leaks, dirty fluid, or minor wear can quickly escalate into major transmission failure if left unchecked.
When you bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance, we can catch and correct small problems before they turn into big headaches.
How Often Should You Service Your Transmission?
General recommendations suggest having your transmission fluid checked or changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
If you drive in hot conditions (like here in Corpus Christi!), haul heavy loads, or drive in stop-and-go traffic often, you may need more frequent service.
Pro Tip: Always check your owner’s manual or ask the experts at Greatstate Transmissions for guidance based on your specific vehicle.
