Your automatic transmission works hard every time you drive - smooth gear changes, consistent performance and long-term reliability all depend on keeping it properly maintained. At Parnell Motors, we offer expert automatic transmission flush services to help extend the life of your transmission and reduce the risk of costly repairs.

A full transmission flush is recommended every 40,000km. Automatic transmissions typically fail due to internally overheating - usually a direct result of poor maintenance, something that’s easily avoided with routine servicing.

We use only premium-grade, fully synthetic transmission fluid to ensure maximum performance and protection. A complete flush replaces all old fluid with fresh, clean fluid. This improves gear changes, reduces friction and helps your transmission run cooler and more efficiently.
​
Parnell Motors is based in central Auckland and provides transmission services to nearby suburbs including Parnell, Newmarket, Remuera, Grafton, Epsom, Orakei, Mission Bay, Kohimarama and St Heliers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: TRANSMISSION FLUSH SERVICES

How often should I get my transmission serviced?

We recommend a flush every 40,000km, or as advised by your vehicle manufacturer. Regular flushing helps prevent overheating and internal damage.

What are the signs I need an automatic transmission flush service?

Signs include rough or delayed gear shifts, slipping gears, or discoloured automatic transmission fluid. If you're experiencing these, book an automatic transmission flush service as soon as possible.
If you're curious about how an automatic transmission actually works, this article from Car and Driver offers a great breakdown of the components and what goes on behind the scenes.

Is a transmission flush better than a fluid change?

Yes. A fluid change only replaces part of the old fluid, while a full transmission flush removes nearly all of it - ensuring cleaner operation and better performance.

Is an automatic transmission service included in my regular car service?

An automatic transmission service is not typically included in a standard car service. It’s considered an additional service because it’s not required as frequently - usually only every 40,000km depending on your vehicle. You can view what’s included in our regular servicing here. If your transmission is due, we’ll always let you know during your service inspection.

Do you offer transmission flush services for European cars?

Yes, we work with all vehicle makes including European models like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. Every automatic transmission flush service at Parnell Motors is completed using premium-grade synthetic fluid and high-quality service standards, no matter the make. That said, we are European car specialists and have the tools and expertise to meet specific manufacturer requirements for Euro vehicles.
