  • Transmissions with no Dipstick?

    How are you handling fluid level checks on transmissions with no dipstick?

    When do you check it?
    Do you charge for it?
    If so, do you have a universal charge – or different for every car?
    Thanks,

    We follow OE recommendations; only check it if you see a leak. (or as required at the 100K service :-)) There is no “universal” charge as each one is as different as its nameplate. Most require the use of a scan too to get an accurate reading (if only to read the fluid temperature) and any time the scan tool gets used there is another line item on the ticket. You have to embrace the technology! Loving it!

    Best thing the oem’s ever did .That is a great reason for our customers staying away from quick lubes. They cant do it .
