Backed by our 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty, have it inspected today to avoid bigger headaches down the road.

Transmission slipping happens when your gears don't engage properly, causing the engine RPMs to rise without matching speed increase. Common causes include low or burnt transmission fluid, worn clutch packs, faulty solenoids, or a failing torque converter. Leaks from seals or lines often contribute by dropping fluid levels. You might feel it during acceleration or hill climbs. While a simple fluid top-off or change fixes mild cases, deeper issues like internal wear need expert attention. Perry's ASE Certified techs in Simi Valley use precise diagnostics to pinpoint the problem. Our transmission repair comes with a 2-Year/24,000-Mile warranty, stop by for a check before it worsens.

Most manufacturers recommend changing automatic transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles under normal driving, or 15,000-30,000 for severe conditions like towing or city stop-go traffic. Check your owner's manual for specifics, some sealed units need "lifetime" fluid but still benefit from service. Fresh fluid keeps clutches lubricated, prevents overheating, and extends transmission life. Dirty or low fluid leads to slipping and wear.

Come in for a fluid check to keep your transmission shifting smoothly.

Driving with a transmission leak is risky, low fluid causes poor lubrication, overheating, slipping gears, and potential total failure, stranding you and costing thousands. Red or brown puddles under your car signal leaks from pan gaskets, seals, or cooler lines. Topping off fluid temporarily helps, but the source must be fixed. Perry's Quality Auto Repair in Simi Valley uses pressure tests and inspections to find and seal leaks efficiently, often with simple gasket or seal replacements.
