Taking Care of Your VW’s Transmission

Part of your vehicle’s drivetrain is the transmission. This vital component needs routine inspections and maintenance to keep running as it should. Once your transmission begins to wear out, your vehicle will struggle to shift gears and have slow acceleration. With our Volkswagen transmission services at Spitzer Volkswagen Amherst, we can keep your VW’s automatic or manual transmission running at its peak.

The Need for Routine Maintenance

Your VW needs routine transmission maintenance to continue to run like new. Our factory-trained and certified technicians can perform a wide range of repair and maintenance services like fluid flushes, transmission repairs, and transmission rebuilds or replacement services.

When you bring your VW to our service center, our technicians conduct an inspection that includes checking the fluid level. If a check engine light illuminates, they will diagnose the problem using your vehicle’s computer. If they determine that your VW needs transmission service, your service advisor will talk to you about the costs, including the transmission parts and labor breakdown.

Every Volkswagen transmission flush, repair, or replacement service comes with genuine VW OEM parts. These parts are precisely engineered to fit snugly in your VW. They also come with a one-year warranty from VW.

Our Full Menu of Transmission Service Options

A key component of our VW transmission service is a thorough inspection. When you bring your VW to us for transmission service, our experienced technicians will inspect it to determine whether you need a VW transmission flush or another VW factory-approved transmission service.

If they determine that your vehicle needs a Volkswagen transmission fluid exchange service, they will only use genuine VW factory-approved OEM parts. Our factory-approved transmission fluid flushes help your vehicle run as it should, and it helps prevent more costly repairs like an automatic transmission replacement.

As you drive your VW, your transmission fluid picks up road dirt and debris as well as metal particles as it flows through the transmission. Over time, transmission fluid loses its efficiency and needs to be replaced. Most VW models need new transmission fluid between 30,000 and 60,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and road conditions.

You can determine if it’s time for a fluid flush if you notice your transmission struggles to shift, acts erratically, or slips gears. Often, vehicles that need VW transmission flush service also have problems with overheating. With clean transmission fluid, your VW will run like it did when you drove it off the lot.
