Transmission Repair and Service Near Me in Bluffton | Hilton Head Buick GMC

Whether you prefer the sporty throws of a manual or the smooth acceleration of an automatic, your vehicle won’t be going anywhere without a working transmission. The transmission is what allows you to put a vehicle in park, drive, neutral and reverse, so you won’t be going anywhere without it. Your vehicle’s transmission also ensures a smooth ride by providing different gears to accommodate speeds, so you’re not experiencing lurching when you accelerate.

So how do you know when there’s an issue with the transmission? One of the most common indicators is if you’re experiencing a transmission slip. A transmission slip is when your vehicle’s transmission “slips'' into either neutral gear or a gear that doesn’t correspond with the current speed, which can lead to delayed movement and sluggish acceleration. Gear slippage can cause serious damage, so it’s not something you want to ignore.

Another sign that there may be an issue with your vehicle’s transmission is if you notice the transmission fluid is leaking. The transmission fluid is responsible for keeping the moving parts of the transmission well lubricated, which creates the hydraulic pressure necessary for the transmission to do its job. Without that fluid, the gears will grind together and become damaged, creating an expensive repair job. If you spot any pink or red fluid under your vehicle, that’s most likely the transmission fluid.

If your vehicle’s transmission is leaking fluid or slipping gears, don’t wait. Bring it into Hilton Head Buick GMC in Bluffton at your earliest convenience and let our ASE-certified technicians take care of it for you. Click the button below to schedule your service appointment today!
