What's Included

What most shops include — confirm on the shop's profile

  • Old fluid drain and fresh fluid flush
  • Transmission pan cleaning and gasket check

Truro Climate Note: Nova Scotia salts high-traffic roads to achieve bare pavement; after winter driving, watch for fresh fluid spots and have a leak assessed promptly.

Expert Care Tip

If shifting changes, note whether it happens cold, warm, during acceleration or when selecting reverse, and tell the technician; those details help narrow the cause.
