Why Your Transmission Deserves More Than Basic Service
Modern transmissions are sophisticated systems that demand specialized attention. Whether you’re driving a BMW with an 8-speed automatic, an Audi with quattro all-wheel drive, a Mercedes with a 7-speed dual-clutch, or a Porsche with a PDK transmission, these systems require more than generic service. Regular transmission care helps you:
- Maintain smooth, responsive shifts
- Prevent expensive failures by catching issues early
- Preserve fuel efficiency and drivetrain performance
- Protect your investment in a vehicle built for precision
Ignoring transmission symptoms doesn’t make them go away; it makes them costlier. That’s why we emphasize preventative maintenance and timely intervention.
Common Transmission Issues in Modern Vehicles
Today’s vehicles deliver exceptional performance, but their advanced transmission systems can develop specific issues that require expert attention. Watch for these warning signs:
- Delayed engagement or hesitation when shifting
- Harsh, jerky, or erratic shifts
- Slipping gears or loss of power during acceleration
- Transmission warning lights or fault codes
- Fluid leaks (typically red or brown)
- Burning smell indicating overheating
- Grinding or whining noises during gear changes
- Difficulty shifting or clutch pedal issues
Our technicians use manufacturer-level diagnostic tools to pinpoint issues accurately, not just guess and replace parts.
Service Offerings
Transmission Diagnostics
Our certified technicians utilize advanced diagnostic equipment and specialized knowledge to accurately diagnose transmission issues specific to European vehicles. We conduct comprehensive diagnostics to identify any electronic or mechanical faults, including issues with automatic transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), manual transmissions, and more.
Transmission Repair and Rebuild
Should your European vehicle's transmission require repair or rebuild services, we have the expertise and experience to perform precision repairs using high-quality parts and industry-leading techniques. Whether it's addressing gear slipping, transmission fluid leaks, or worn clutch packs, we ensure that your transmission operates smoothly and reliably.
Transmission Fluid Service
Regular transmission fluid maintenance is crucial for preserving the longevity and performance of European transmissions. Our technicians perform transmission fluid flushes, fluid changes, and filter replacements using manufacturer-recommended fluids and procedures to maintain optimal lubrication and cooling properties.
Transmission Software Updates
Many European vehicles feature sophisticated transmission control modules (TCM) that require periodic software updates to optimize shift points, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance overall performance. We offer transmission software updates using the latest manufacturer-approved software to ensure that your transmission operates at its best.
Clutch Service and Replacement
For vehicles equipped with manual transmissions or dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), we provide expert clutch service and replacement to address issues such as slipping, grabbing, or difficulty shifting. Our technicians use precision techniques and quality parts to restore proper clutch function and driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs my transmission needs service?
Common warning signs include delayed shifts, harsh or jerky gear changes, slipping gears, transmission warning lights, fluid leaks, burning smells, or unusual noises. If your transmission doesn’t feel as smooth as it used to, it’s worth having it inspected before minor issues become major failures.
How often should I service my transmission fluid?
Most manufacturers recommend transmission fluid service every 40,000-60,000 miles, though some claim “lifetime” fluid that we recommend changing by 80,000-100,000 miles. Regular fluid service is especially important for dual-clutch transmissions like DSG and PDK, which generate significant heat.
Can you repair dual-clutch transmissions like DSG and PDK?
Absolutely. We’re certified for Porsche PDK transmission services and have extensive experience with VW/Audi DSG systems, handling clutch pack replacements, mechatronic unit repairs, fluid services, and software updates.
Should I repair or replace my transmission?
It depends on the extent of damage and cost-effectiveness. After our diagnostic process, we’ll provide honest recommendations with cost comparisons so you can make an informed decision.
What warranty do you offer on transmission work?
All our transmission repairs and replacements are backed by a 2-year/24,000-mile TechNet warranty. We stand behind our work, and if any issues arise, we’ll make it right.
