Quick Lube Shop Scams / Transmission Flushes.

If you're thinking of going to a quick lube shop soon, here's something to consider.

During service, techs may show you a computer to recommend additional services.

These extra services are usually scams and will cost you more down the road.

For instance, many quick lube shops will offer transmission flushes. They'll claim your vehicle has high mileage and needs a transmission flush so you can drive your vehicle safely.

Problem is, these shops only carry Universal Transmission Fluid. They don't have the right blend for your vehicle. This can lead to all sorts of problem and faster wear of your transmission.

So next time you go in, decide to decline any additional services. Just going in for your regular oil change is good enough.

Then once you're done, you can check in your owner's manual what types of fluids your car takes for your transmission (or other gearboxes).

If you can't find that information, your dealership can help you out.

Then make sure to make an appointment with the shop or person who will have the correct fluid specifications for your vehicle.
