“These guys saved me from buying a car that would've failed an out-of-province before I even took it in, and then saved me from buying a car that had almost gone front brakes and clutch with their extremely in-depth and fairly priced pre-purchase inspection. Thanks a ton Greg!”

“Greg and the team at JFC has been absolutely wonderful to help us out with an emergency repair of my brake while I was visiting Kelowna. My car brake has been making sound during my trips from Vancouver to Kelowna and I only had a day to have it repaired.”

Why Transmission Maintenance Matters
Your transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels, managing gear changes to deliver smooth acceleration and efficient performance. Neglecting transmission maintenance can result in:
- Harsh or delayed shifting — worn fluid or internal components
- Transmission slipping — the engine revs but the vehicle doesn't accelerate
- Overheating — degraded transmission fluid loses its cooling properties
- Complete transmission failure — a repair that can cost thousands of dollars
Kelowna's hilly terrain puts extra strain on your transmission, especially when climbing grades on Highway 33 or navigating steep neighbourhood streets. Regular service helps your transmission handle the demands.

Signs Your Transmission Needs Service
Catch transmission problems early by watching for these symptoms:
- Slipping gears — engine revs without corresponding acceleration
- Rough or delayed shifting
- Grinding or shaking during gear changes
- Transmission warning light on the dashboard
- Burning smell — overheated transmission fluid
- Fluid leak — red or brown fluid under your vehicle
- Whining, humming, or clunking noises in gear
- Vehicle won't engage in drive or reverse
If you notice any of these while driving around Kelowna, don't delay — early diagnosis can save you from a costly transmission rebuild or replacement.
Transmission Fluid Service
Transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and cleans internal components. Over time it degrades and collects debris. We recommend:
- Automatic transmission: Fluid change every 60,000–100,000 km
- Manual transmission: Fluid change every 50,000–80,000 km
- CVT transmission: Follow manufacturer intervals (typically 60,000–80,000 km)
Always check your owner's manual or ask our technicians for the recommended interval for your specific vehicle.
