A Little Preventative Maintenance Can Really Go a Long Way in Dallas and Houston
Aside from the top 3 that we’ve just listed. The next biggest reason for transmission failures to occur is a simple lack of regular preventative maintenance and in some cases, not getting the RIGHT preventative maintenance for your vehicle.
With European vehicles like we work with every day at European Service Center, you’re going to have some very specific requirements that are based on the make and model of your ride. For instance, with many American vehicles every 12 months is fine, but you wouldn’t want to do that with a BMW.
These Bavarian beauties need to be checked every 5000 miles. English Aston Martins, on the other hand, generally require preventative maintenance every 10,000 miles.
That’s not to say that all European models have such an aggressive preventative maintenance schedule, however – it really depends on your specific make and model – so you want to make sure that you go with a provider that knows exactly what your vehicle needs.
At European Service Center, we bring over 4 decades of experience to the table to make sure that not only will your European brand vehicle get exactly the right amount of preventative maintenance, but you’ll also be aware of known issues that may occur so that you can try to avoid them down the line.
Having an expert on your side makes a difference and if you give us a call or come in to see us at European Service Center, we think it’s a difference that you’re really going to appreciate!
What Are the Top Reasons for Transmission Failure in Dallas and Houston?
While there are a lot of things that can go awry with a transmission, there are definitely some issues that stick out as being the most common reasons for transmission failure. Here are the top 3:
- Neglecting Basic Care– Checking transmission fluid levels is something that needs to be done regularly and failure to do so can lead to overheating and worse. Slippage, delayed change of gears, and ‘rough shifting’ can quickly develop and worst of all – they could easily have been avoided just by keeping an eye on your transmission fluid levels.
- Providing Basic Care Incorrectly– Sometimes the problem isn’t a lack of transmission fluid, but rather using the wrong fluid. When adding transmission fluid to your vehicle, always use what your owner’s manual recommends. Anything else won’t lubricate or cool your transmission efficiently enough and problems may quickly develop.
- Taxing Your Transmission Too Much– Another common reason for transmission failure is taxing your transmission by overloading your vehicle with too much weight. That’s why it’s a good idea to check your manual for the specific weight limits recommended if you intend to carry a lot of passengers or goods on the regular.
