Transmission Repair Services in Minneapolis

Your car’s transmission is the vital link that takes the power of your car’s engine and transfers it to propel your vehicle. A transmission replacement can also be one of the two most expensive mechanical repairs that your car may ever need. A transmission repair or replacement can be in the hundreds and in some cases, the thousands of dollars. It is critical when a transmission needs attention that it be serviced correctly. Quality Coaches serves the Twin Cities area with transmission repair and replacement services that are absolutely guaranteed.

Of course it is best to avoid transmission repairs. While some vehicles are known for their transmission issues, there are steps you can take to prolong its life.

• Check your transmission fluid and only replenish it with the type of fluid recommended by your manufacturer.
• If your vehicle is newer, have the transmission fluid flushed regularly. If you have an older transmission with lots of miles on it, but it seems to be operating alright, you may want to avoid flushing.
• Let your transmission fluid and your car warm up on our cold Minnesota mornings. Transmission fluid thickens in sub-freezing temperatures and will circulate better after even a brief period of warming up.
• Don’t drive your car for an extended period of time in an inappropriate low gear.
• Towing inappropriate loads or plowing snow can put extraordinary strain on your transmission. Make sure you are operating within you manufacturer’s guidelines.
• Do not shift your automatic transmission while your vehicle is moving, even slightly.
• Riding your brake with your foot on the gas or power braking can both lead to premature failure of your transmission.
• Have your transmission looked at professionally at least once or twice annually.
• Your engine and transmission work in concert to power your vehicle. Keeping your engine running properly will also help the life of your transmission.
