A lot of preventative maintenance for your vehicle can be done by you. Here are some helpful do-it-yourself tips from the professional technicians at The Transmission Shop, Detroit's leading transmission experts!

Cooling System Tips

Check the antifreeze level and top off as necessary - check the manual for proper fluid use. Check for visibly leaking antifreeze or large openings, usually caused from road debris. If you have these symptoms, the certified technicians at The Transmission Shop can help. Bring in the car and the technicians will be able to diagnose the problem on the spot.

Serpentine (Engine) Belts

Check the engine belts for any cracks or tears. If you notice any issues, then bring your vehicle by one of our three shops. The professional technicians at The Transmission Shop can replace those belts if necessary. The car's cooling system is operated by these belts so don't overlook them.

Check Tire Pressure

Regularly check for low tire pressure in all tires, especially if your car is pulling when you drive or otherwise driving abnormally, and fill as needed. The tire pressure plays an important role in the safety of your vehicle, and it helps maintain your car's fuel efficiency.
