The transmission is what allows your car to move. It converts the energy your engine makes into torque that your wheels can use to rotate and move the vehicle. The many gears inside the transmission deliver the right amount of power at the right time to the wheels.
Transmission Fluid Exchange
If your transmission fluid is old or low, the transmission will start to break down, leading to transmission failure. Consistent transmission fluid exchange services at Virginia Tire & Auto will help prevent dangerous and expensive transmission repairs down the road.
Transmission fluid should be changed out every 30,000–60,000 miles or 3 years, depending on your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. This is especially true if you drive up a lot of hills or frequently tow with your vehicle.
Our ASE Certified Technicians use a special machine for transmission fluid exchanges to guarantee that your car receives the best, most thorough transmission service possible.

Since your vehicle’s transmission is such a complex system, it’s hard for even the most experienced technicians to determine what’s causing the problem without taking a closer look. As a result, we wait to price a transmission repair until we’ve been able to inspect your vehicle so that our quote is as accurate as possible.
It’s important to us that we charge fair prices and are honest with our customers, so we take the time to understand what’s causing a transmission issue and determine the correct course of action and pricing from there.
We estimate that a Transmission Fluid Exchange will take about an hour.
If your vehicle requires more complex transmission repairs, we will let you know how long the repair will take when we provide the work estimate.
There are two types of car transmissions: manual and automatic.
Manual transmissions rely on the driver shifting through the different gears by hand using a stick-shifter and pressing a clutch pedal. It’s up to the driver when the car shifts gears.
With an automatic transmission, the driver doesn’t have to shift gears manually. Instead, automatics use pressure changes in the transmission fluid to shift gears. Automatic transmissions are the most common system in modern vehicles because they are smoother and easier to drive.
