When Should I Book An Auto Transmission Service?

We recommend booking an auto transmission service after 40,000km or 24 months of driving, and anytime you notice:

• Any noises from your gearbox while in neutral
• Gears slipping
• Shaking while changing gears
• Big disparities between the speedometer and tachometer (i.e. the needles on the dash are at drastically different angles, with the tachometer cranked while your speedometer crawls)
• Your engine light is on

When in doubt, contact your local TIRECRAFT—every consultation is free.

How Can I Lower Auto Transmission Service Costs?

• Invest in auto transmission upkeep. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—and in this case, it could save you thousands of dollars in auto transmission service costs. Compared to the price of a full system overhaul, auto transmission services are dirt-cheap, and you don’t even need to schedule upkeep that often. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend scheduling transmission services after 40,000km or 24 months of driving.
• Find better service warranties. Warranties won’t save you money upfront, but they will help control auto transmission service costs over the long term. Section 63(1) of Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act stipulates that “every repairer shall be deemed to warrant all new or reconditioned parts installed and the labour required to install them for a minimum of 90 days or 5,000 kilometers.” However, some shops go above and beyond. For example, TIRECRAFT’s mechanical warranty gives you four-times the coverage, guaranteeing that all repairs and services will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months or 20,000 kilometers of use.
• Collect customer loyalty points on auto transmission services. By signing up for the MyTIRECRAFT Rewards program, you can turn auto transmissions service costs into savings, earning you loyalty points for every dollar you spend. These loyalty points can be used like cash on future products and services.
