When you bring your car to us, you’re getting the dedicated attention of a local team that values your safety and your vehicle’s longevity above all else.

Transmission Servicing & Diagnostics

Transmission work requires a clean environment and meticulous attention to detail—two things we guarantee at Maddington Mechanics. We use only premium, manufacturer specified fluids and high quality filters to ensure peak performance. We also believe in total transparency: after our initial inspection, we’ll explain the condition of your transmission fluid and components, providing a clear, upfront quote before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what’s happening under the hood and exactly what it costs.

How often should my transmission be serviced?

While every car is different, most manufacturers recommend a service every 60,000km to 100,000km. If you’re towing heavy loads, you may need it more frequently.

Look out for “slipping” between gears, delayed engagement, unusual humming or clunking noises, or a burning smell coming from the engine bay.

Yes. A standard service usually replaces the filter and a portion of the fluid, while a flush replaces nearly all the fluid in the system. We’ll recommend the best option based on your car’s condition.
