Transmission Service in Santa Rosa, CA
Protect Your Powertrain with Transmission Service at CardinaleWay CDJR Santa Rosa
Your transmission is one of the most critical and complex systems in your vehicle. Whether you drive a performance-focused Dodge Challenger, a towing-equipped Ram 2500, or a versatile Jeep Grand Cherokee, proper transmission maintenance is essential for smooth shifting, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability. At CardinaleWay Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Santa Rosa, we offer professional transmission fluid service and inspections for both automatic and manual transmissions.
Why Transmission Service Matters
Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant, hydraulic fluid, and cooling agent — and it degrades over time due to heat, pressure, and friction. Ignoring fluid maintenance can lead to premature wear of gears, torque converters, clutches, and internal seals — resulting in poor shifting or even costly transmission failure.
Symptoms you may need transmission service:- Hesitation or delay when shifting
- Rough or jerky gear changes
- Transmission slipping between gears
- Fluid leaks underneath the vehicle
- Burning odor or strange noises
What’s Included in Transmission Service
Depending on your model and mileage, our service may include:

FAQs About Transmission Service
Q: Is a fluid flush better than a fluid change?A: A fluid flush replaces nearly all old fluid, while a fluid change drains and refills the pan. We’ll recommend the best option based on condition and mileage.
Q: Can I check the fluid myself?
A: Some vehicles no longer have a dipstick. Our team can check the level and quality during your service visit.
