What type of transmission
fluid should I use in my car?

Different transmissions require different types of transmission fluid. Our shop offers several quality transmission fluid brands. We recommend that you change your fluid every 25,000 to 35,000 miles using a BG Transmission Flush as part of our regular suggested maintenance. This service also includes replacing the filter or cleaning the screen, replacing the pan gasket, performing a final leak-check, and performing a road test.
