Trust our experts to complete this service efficiently and professionally at our garage in Blandford.

Our ATF Services

At our MOT and Servicing garage on Blandford, we have invested in an ATF machine.

1.

We connect the machine to the car through transmission cooler lines, which allow fluid to move between the transmission and the radiator.

2.

The machine pumps out the old, dirty fluid.

3.

At the same time new, clean fluid is pumped into the gearbox, ensuring that it is always filled with fluid.

4.

Transmission fluid continues to circulate to remove as much of the old fluid as possible.

5.

Once the old fluid has been replaced, the machine is disconnected.
Using this machine, we run a flushing detergent through the gearbox. In using this machine, we can exchange 100% of the total oil capacity, which is not possible using traditional draining methods.
