by Dennis Sweet, Service Manager at Cars for Keeps Hello everyone, If you have called or stopped into our shop, you have probably spoken with me. We may have even talked about maintenance. I have always felt that if I can help a client better understand the needs of their vehicle, they will better understand why we recommend it being performed.
I bring up this topic today, not only because it is important, but because I also had this exact conversation with one of our clients today. The topic was transmission fluid and why we had recommended the vehicles to be flushed out and replaced with new. Our client had responded, "but my owners manual states that my vehicle has 'Lifetime Transmission Fluid'". My response to this is, “Who’s lifetime, yours or your vehicles transmission?????" Transmission fluid, just as any other fluid a vehicle uses will wear out, get dirty, break down and even burn.
With this in mind, how long of a lifetime will the transmission have if it is trying to pump contaminated, broken down fluid through its system - or, to put in other terms, veins? I will let you think about for now, but will leave you with our perspective: it is in our best interest to think of your best interest. Our goal is to help you keep your vehicle in the best running condition it can be for as long as you want to own that vehicle. “No payments, just Maintenance.”
So long for now, Dennis

That is so true, the more the client understands how a car or an engine works, the easier it is for us to recommend the best alternative without being thought of as a hooligan!

Thanks a lot Dennis for saying something about this topic. For a car user, it can be considered as one of the most important topics to know. Transmission fluid plays a vital role for the performance of engine hence it is needed to be maintained well and at a particular level. Through I have never visited to your shop but I'm really thankful for your tips through this article. I usually take maintenance advises from Volvo specialist Green Bay, WI and I love those people.
