In addition to transmission servicing and rebuilds, Dean’s Automatics also offers a host of other services for automatic vehicles, as listed below:
General Maintenance
These services generally pertain to fundamental vehicular maintenance, such as inspecting and fitting brakes pads, wipers and lights. While Dean’s Automatics specialises in a specific automotive field only, our expertise often extends to more general areas, or at the very least allows us to point you in the right direction for your vehicle. Contact us today to see how we might be of service.
Electrical Tests
Unfamiliar lights on a vehicle’s dashboard often indicate that the ECU (i.e. vehicle’s computer) has lodged fault codes relevant to a particular problem. These codes are often accompanied by vehicle slipping and shuddering which may also pertain to internal failings within a vehicle’s transmission. At Dean’s Automatics we have all latest diagnostics equipment designed to detect these codes and identify what problems they may cause for you vehicle. This allows us not only clear these codes, but determine a course of action that will see your vehicle return to its peak performance capacity.
Oil Coolers
In contrast to manual vehicles, automatic transmissions can reach tempartures of over 130 °C when under strain, such as driving your vehicle on a beach or in rough areas. Fitting an oil cooler to your vehicle will ensure your tranmission does not reach critical temperatures and naturally extends the life of your vehicle in the long run. As a general rule of thumb, all vehicles used for towing should be fitted with an oil cooler, which in turn will provide essential airflow to the transmission as workload increases.
