The pending holiday season is a time when most people are focused on giving and receiving gifts, but your car could also use some care and attention during this busy time. One of the best ways to prepare your car for the holidays is to schedule a transmission inspection now.

Why You Should Get a Transmission Inspection Now

Schedule a transmission inspection now to ensure your holiday plans go smoothly. You don’t want your vehicle to break down because of transmission problems while you’re on the way to a holiday gathering or trying to complete some last-minute shopping. Knowing your car is in working order will put your mind at ease.

It’s also easier to get an inspection appointment now rather than during the holidays. Transmission service professionals may have less availability during the holidays as they take time off during the holidays. 

Signs You Need Immediate Service

There are a few indicators that you should have your vehicle checked out by a transmission expert right away. Whining, clunking, or grinding sounds that occur while shifting gears signal that something is wrong with your transmission. You may also notice a burning smell while driving.

Faulty transmissions tend to be noisy in gear, and you’ll likely experience a delayed response while shifting gears. If you see red fluid underneath your vehicle, this indicates a transmission leak that should be addressed right away to prevent additional damage.
