Kings Transmission

Thank goodness the snow has finally melted in the Seattle suburbs! My apartment complex did not get dug out until several days after the storm and the side streets weren’t much better. Though I did my best to stay off the roads, eventually I had to get into the office.

The slush and ice did a number on my ill-equipped for winter car. I attributed the rumbling at first to driving in slush, but now that the roads are clear I can still hear it.

The vast majority of my family lives in Canada while I live in the Seattle area. It’s much more convenient for the rest of the family for me to commute to where they live for major holidays. I don’t mind the drive, or at least I didn’t, until this past Christmas.

Most people know the rule of thumb when it comes to getting motor oil changed. As my dad would say, “Once every three months or every 3,000 miles- whichever comes first.” Knowing when to change your transmission fluid is a little trickier.

It takes a technician to remove the transmission fluid pan. Whenever my vehicle needs new transmission fluid, I take it over to West Seattle transmission repair.
