Have a transmission problem? Maybe your vehicle has been acting a little strange. If you go to a local automotive part store you may see some products that claim to help with any transmission problem. Before you go out and buy one of those car-repairs-in-a-can, keep on reading to know the truth.

There are rumors that special additives with special chemicals will help your vehicle save gas mileage and even help make your transmission new again. It is just as crazy as it sounds. The truth is NO, it will not fix a transmission. Transmissions are a very complex systems and repairs can only come from working directly on your transmission.

Those false advertising products promise a fix that they can’t deliver. Similar to those crazy remedies that promise everything, but it falls short and leaves you disappointed. Unlike the medical world, automotive additives and chemicals have no regulations or restrictions. So, save yourself the disappointment by skipping the aisles that claim to be a cure in a bottle when it comes to transmission problems.

If you do buy one of those types of products, be sure to read what they promise and use your best common sense. A transmission rebuild in a bottle is not possible. On the other hand, if they claim something such as lubrication or temperature regulation, that is more sensible. Product reviews on sites like Amazon are also a good thing to browse when considering any product. If lots of people are commenting to avoid it, it may be best to do so.

Most auto products are a temporary fix again, so ultimately, it is a great idea to get your vehicle checked and diagnosed by a professional transmission shop. Eagle Transmission Repair Shop is the One You Can Trust. They check your transmission to evaluate the best option for your vehicle to get it back to running smoothly. Eagle Transmission Shop serves all of Dallas an surrounding areas including Lancaster.
