Our Transmission Maintenance Services
More often than not, a failing transmission needs replacement. The goal of quality transmission maintenance services are to avoid that worst-case scenario. Our transmission services are designed to help car owners stay ahead of transmission problems, protecting its function and longevity.
Transmission Fluid Change
We perform a basic fluid change by draining out a portion of the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new fluid. This service helps maintain proper lubrication and temperature control in the transmission, especially when done regularly.
Transmission Fluid Flush
A transmission fluid flush is a more thorough maintenance option. We flush out the old fluid from the transmission system, removing more buildup and contaminants than a standard drain-and-fill. This service is ideal if your fluid is dirty or hasn’t been changed in a long time.
Transmission Filter Replacement
Our team replaces the old filter to help remove dirt and metal shavings from the fluid system, keeping your transmission cleaner and more efficient.
Transmission Pan Inspection
We remove and inspect the pan for debris, wear, and signs of internal problems. It helps us catch small issues before they grow into costly repairs.
Pan Cleaning
We thoroughly clean the pan before reinstallation to remove any residue or buildup that could contaminate the new fluid.
Gasket Replacement
To prevent leaks, we install a new gasket that forms a secure seal between the pan and the transmission housing.
Leak Check
After refilling, we examine the transmission system for any signs of leaks that could cause fluid loss and performance issues over time.
Fluid Level Check
We confirm the fluid is filled to the correct level so your transmission operates as it should and maintains proper pressure throughout the system.
Regular transmission maintenance like this is typically recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and manufacturer guidelines. Don’t wait until you feel something wrong—contact Kauai Auto Repair in Lihue today to keep your car running strong.

What Our Customers Have to Say

“100% Professional organization, they always stand behind their work and answer all questions with an element of service. They never make you feel silly. They do an AMAZING JOB and never make excuses, they just get it fixed and clearly explain to you what they need to fix. No one likes to have a broken down car, and no one likes the bill when fixed but I can honestly say I always know I got my money’s worth and feel good paying them as they make it a pleasure to do business with them. I have tried all the shops on the island, and none even come close to comparing to the entire group at Kauai Auto Repair.” — Greg B.
