FAQ

I have a leak under the car and the fluid is red in color, what do I do?

The right amount of transmission fluid is important to the proper operation of the transmission. The fluid acts as a lubricant, carries away the heat and transmits power. Leaking or low fluid level can effect any one of the above mentioned items, and have an adverse effect on the proper function of the transmission. Upon detecting a leak, it is important that you have your vehicle inspected to determine the source of the leak.
Oregon Transmission Center’s highly trained technicians can do just that. Our vehicle inspection is 100% free. This service will not only identify the source of the leak but will determine how serious it is. Not all leaks are serious, while some leaks may result in a complete transmission failure. A free inspection by Oregon Transmission Center’s qualified technician is the best way to tell. Having a leak resealed as soon as it develops is the best policy.
