Fuel Efficiency & Wheel Alignments

We previously touched on how drivers can benefit from a wheel alignment, which included…

  • Better Fuel Efficiency
  • Improving Your Ride & Steering
  • Bettering Your Vehicle’s Tire Lifespan

Your Transmission Can Overheat in the Winter Months Too

Although many might think of a transmission overheating as a summer issue; it can also be a risk in the winter as well. Considerations for the colder months, as it pertains to your transmission, include:

  • Parts contracting due to cold weather
  • Viscosity of your transmission fluid
  • Shifting issues
  • Water in the transmission

As mentioned previously…

… roughly 90% of automatic transmission failures are due to overheating. When your transmission fluid is not attended to regularly, among other maintenance musts, your transmission can overheat.

We can help you prevent that through our Kelowna Auto Care maintenance services – which can be scheduled here.
