As a Volkswagen owner, you should know that routine services, like a transmission fluid exchange, should be done on your Volkswagen vehicle to extend its lifetime.

You’ll find us near the intersection of West Kennedy Boulevard and South Grady Avenue. In addition to servicing Tampa, we also service numerous additional nearby cities.

Other communities we service include South Tampa and Egypt Lake-Leto.
The transmission fluid exchange procedure is simple. It involves emptying out old transmission fluid and refilling it with new transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is needed to not only provide lubrication to bearings and other moving parts but also to provide needed hydraulic pressure. This pressure helps the transmission to shift gears. Like engine oil, transmission fluid will degrade over time. That’s why having your transmission fluid changed periodically is so important.
Degraded transmission fluid won’t lubricate properly. This can lead to a situation where your transmission overheats. Overheating in mechanical parts is a significant cause of wear and aging in parts. Another reason to have your transmission fluid changed is that a transmission inspection is usually done when this service is performed. With an inspection of your transmission, you’ll become aware of any other important transmission maintenance or service needs you should take care of.
Regular transmission fluid exchanges are great for your vehicle. To keep your transmission in the best shape, you should have this service performed as often as is recommended by the manufacturer. You should expect to need a transmission fluid exchange done once every 30,000 miles to keep your vehicle in good shape.
