Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work!  Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward.  Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission?  The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Montgomery drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

At Performance Auto Repair in Montgomery, we know how much efficiency matters. When it comes to your truck, it’s equally important.

At Performance Auto Repair in Montgomery, AL, we know the key to making your vehicle last; good maintenance. An overwhelming percentage of the problems we see, especially the really catastrophic ones, are a result of poor maintenance. While properly maintaining a vehicle can seem like a bit of a hassle, it is absolutely worth the payoff. Good maintenance is the only difference between a car that lasts 80,000 miles and a car that lasts 400,000 miles. Preventative maintenance and repair when a problem occurs are your two concerns, and both will keep your car on the road far longer if observed properly.

A medium-duty vehicle will fall into Class 6 on this rating system and includes commercial vehicles such as garbage trucks, delivery vans, and trucks or RVs with dual wheels and 3 axles. Selecting a vehicle that is based on the growth projections of your business ensures the truck still meets your company’s needs in the years to come. If it’s for all-purpose use, make sure it has the right tow package and engine size for what you will be using it for.
