5 Benefits of Getting Routine Transmission Service for Your Ford

Your transmission works continuously to translate the power of your engine into energy to move your car’s wheels. The gears in the transmission harness your engine’s power. The transmission is a harsh environment, filled with hundreds of constantly moving parts. Many of these parts depend on friction to work correctly. As your Ford dealer, we want you to know the benefits of transmission service in keeping your transmission running efficiently.

5 Benefits of a Transmission Service by Your Ford Dealer

Saving Money

Some drivers delay servicing as they see it as a waste of money. Regular services, however, save you money. When you bring your car in for a service, our expert technicians will thoroughly examine your transmission. They check the color and condition of the transmission fluid, and the seals and gaskets to prevent fluid leaks. The gears and all other components are examined for signs of wear.

The first way you save money is the service itself. Parts are replaced during the service that could otherwise fail. When you replace these parts, you reduce the strain on the rest of the transmission. In addition, our technicians can also notice potential problems during the service. By taking action and repairing these previously unknown issues, you can save money in future repairs.

Save Time

Time is precious. When you bring your car in for a service, you’ve already made arrangements for that time. Our technicians can fix potential problems while your car is already in our service department. There’s no need to arrange a second time to bring in your car. We can get the additional, unforeseen work completed with no impact on your day.

Prolong Your Transmission’s Life

Regular servicing will help to prevent wear and damage. When we replace the transmission fluid, for example, there are numerous benefits. The new fluid will provide more effective friction resistance for the transmission components. This protects them against damage. The new fluid will help to keep the transmission cooler and prevent overheating.

Smoother Gear Shifting

Transmission fluid provides the hydraulic power for your gears to shift easily. Older transmission fluid loses some of this ability, and you’ll notice gear shifting is much smoother after a service. The easier gear shifting also helps to prevent damage and reduces the energy demands on your engine.

Maintain Your Car’s Value

When your car is well-maintained, it has a higher sale or trade-in value. A good service record shows a potential buyer that your car is in good working condition. This is especially important for a component like the transmission. The transmission can be one of the most expensive parts to repair, and a record of regular services shows there’s less likelihood of repairs being necessary.

Your transmission is a crucial part of your car. By maintaining it you can prevent extensive repairs. You’ll be able to enjoy the comfort and efficiency of your Ford for many years to come. Call our service department today at North Country Ford and arrange a service for your transmission.
