Transmission Flush Service in North York, ON
There are a number of fluids that flow through your vehicle to make it operate, and one of the most important, yet most overlooked fluid is transmission fluid. A transmission flush or transmission fluid exchange is an important preventative maintenance service to help extend the life of your vehicle.
At R&S Auto we recommend having transmission service completed as directed from your vehicles owner’s manual. Type of vehicle and driving habits can affect the frequency in which you need this service. Ignoring or putting off this service could result in one of the most costly repairs in the event of a breakdown.
What is a Transmission Flush?
The transmission in your vehicle is what changes the gears as you drive. Taking care of this component with regular flushes and fluid changes will keep your vehicle in peak working order. A transmission flush service is when our mechanics remove oil transmission fluid along with any other dirt and built up debris, and replace it with fresh, new fluid.
Transmission fluid is used to lubricate your transmission so it can operate smoothly. Over time the fluid can breakdown and collect debris, hindering the performance of your vehicle. When this happens your transmission may generate irregular amounts of friction and heat, which can create problems with shifting gears and accelerating your vehicle.
Performing a transmission flush allows our team to replace 100% of the fluid opposed to a fluid change that only replaced about 50%. Fluid is drained/removed from your transmission using a flushing machine. We then clean and inspect the transmission pan, transmission filter and other parts to ensure the job is done properly. After that, fresh new fluid is added back into your vehicle.
How to tell if you need a transmission flush?
When driving or operating your vehicle, keep an eye, or an ear out for any of these symptoms:
- Difficulty switching gears
- Burning smell
- Noises from your vehicle when in Neutral
- Leaking fluid
- Check engine light on your dash
- Grinding or shaking
- Dark colour fluid
- Delay in vehicle movement
It’s important to be aware of anything out of the ordinary when driving. If you are noticing any of these transmission problems it is recommended to book an appointment with R&S Auto repair shop to inspect and repair your vehicle if needed. As mentioned above, transmission repairs can be very costly to consumers when vehicles go long periods of travel with the transmission fluid status ignored.
How often should I flush my transmission?
The best indicator for how often your vehicle requires a transmission flush is to check the owner’s manual. As each vehicle make and model can vary, the owner’s manual will advise on your specific manufacturer recommended service intervals.
Typically we see transmission flushes recommended every 45,000km to 80,000km depending on the vehicle, which can be every 3 to 5 years. If you are still unsure the current state of your transmission fluid stop by R&S Auto in North York and one of our qualified technicians will be happy to assist! We can look up vehicle history, and manufacturer recommendations to make sure your vehicle is keeping aligned with suggested service intervals.
Do I really need a transmission flush?
Regular transmission flushes will extend the life of your vehicle. The frequency of the service will depend on your vehicle, so it is best to reference your owner’s manual to follow proper guidelines. Like all preventative maintenance the investment both dollars and time now can save you thousands down the road if left ignored. A reputable mechanic, like our team at R&S Auto will check your vehicle and look at a number of factors to determine if you need a transmission flush such as:
- Driving habits
- Mileage
- Recommended maintenance schedules from manufacturer.

Joker Lounge Oct 10, 2025
Best and quick service.
Benny Khepar Oct 10, 2025
I’ve been really impressed with how professional and thorough this shop is. They take the time to explain every detail, show what’s actually needed now vs. what can wait, and never push unnecessary work. The team is honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about keeping your car in great shape without surprises. You can tell they know Infiniti vehicles well — everything from the inspection report to the follow-up was done properly. My QX80 feels smoother than ever. Definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to.

Tweneboah Sampson Sep 9, 2025
I recently brought my 2004 Volvo S60 for a critical repair to R&S Auto (in North York) where Sal and his Team provided excellent customer service. This was following a recent very negative experience (steering issue repair) that took over 2 weeks to complete and in the end was not even fixed satisfactorily. This was our 1st time trusting R&S Auto with our much-needed 20+ year old car and we were not disappointed. Thanks to Sal and his Team we were in and out quickly (Radiator, Coolant, filter repair) and gain confidence that R&S Auto will be where we will take any future need to repair our vehicle.

Had to bring in my Supra on short notice due to my clumsiness. Admittedly, I'm very picky on who works on my car. I don't particularly settle even if it means I have to pay a bit more. I always believe you do get what you pay for at the end of the day in the grand scheme of things. Having read great reviews, despite being in a pinch, I was very lucky to have them right by me when I needed them the most. From the get go, I really appreciate them taking me in on such short notice and also helped get me a rental at a great price so I was able to get home for the day! Through no fault of their own, I did have to leave my car with them for a while just to wait on parts but throughout the process they always kept me in the loop and tried to get things done in a timely manner without ever sacrificing quality. In all honesty, I was incredibly blown away by how much extra they offer, that little extra TLC goes a LONG way, especially in this industry. The courtesy inspection that's offered digitally with photos and recommendations lets me know they do care and aren't pushy on things that don't need to be done just yet. I've dealt with many others in the industry who flip flopped on their pricing but I promise you R&S is not one of those people. And just having the car cleaned up after with a wash and the inside tidied up meant a lot to me. It is such a small gesture but it goes such a long way. Thanks Sal and team! I know my Supra was in good hands and I look forward to continuing our relationship to keep my car in tip top racing shape! :D

I just want to say the R&S Auto team are sensational. They go above and beyond for their clients, with exceptional service and care. They not only care about the vehicle as if it's their own, they care about their clients and that level of customer service I haven't seen before.
Zahir Aug 8, 2025
I had a very good experience getting my 2013 GLK serviced at R&S Auto. I appreciated the flexibility of dropping up and picking up my vehicle after hours using their secure system. Sal did a great job fixing my leaky brake line - everything is running smoothly so far. I also appreciate the transparency with the diagnosis: Sal provided pictures and descriptions of the issues so I knew exactly what was wrong and also confirmed the cost before initiating the repair. With driving an older vehicle, this is one less thing to worry about having a trusted mechanic. I will definitely return if I face any more issues with my vehicle.

Marvin Razon Aug 8, 2025
I went there to check my Mercedes CLS . Front desk staff is super friendly. I had a suspension concern .. the lead tech (Jessy) came around and asked me to go with him for a test drive to confirm my concern.. i like attention to detail.. they do offer the 360 car report with photos and videos . The best thing i saw .. also for an oil change you get free road side assistance for 6 months .. i want to leave you with one thing.. just look at this washroom , hotel level cleanliness and vibe..

I recently had my car inspected and got new rims installed at R&S Auto, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! The team was professional, honest, and efficient. They explained everything clearly and made sure I understood what my car needed and they made sure everything was perfectly balanced and aligned. I really appreciated their friendly attitude and attention to detail. It’s hard to find a shop you can truly trust, but R&S Auto delivered excellent service from start to finish. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future car needs. Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with R&S Auto. From the moment I dropped off my vehicle, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. They conducted a thorough and detailed inspection of my car and provided a comprehensive report that included pictures and videos of their findings — a level of transparency that’s rare and truly appreciated.

Ian Ramrattan May 5, 2025
Was referred to R&S auto by a co-worker. I have to say this is by far the best car auto shop I have been to. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and gave me peace of mind on the work being done. I especially love the 360 digital health check inspection on the vehicle, with this they send you digital pictures of any main issues on the vehicle which lets you decide if the work is needed or not. I highly recomend R&S Auto. Props to Dilraj, Sal and Jesse for being amazing to work with.
Chris Tse May 5, 2025

Stan W May 5, 2025
Superior customer service, friendly staff! And highly experienced mechanics, I have taken my Audi S5 and my Audi Q5 to R&S and every-time it’s been a great experience.. highly recommended!!! If you drive a German car I wouldn’t take it any where else but R&S is the place to go Another experience with R&S with the amazing service, Sal R&S had my S5 grill replaced with an blacked out RS5 grill, he went above and beyond and even pained behind it shiny black so it didn’t look weird, he did this because he cares and they care about your car! Amazing service, Props to Sal as always, next visit will be my brakes and check up!
Daryl Brohman Nov 11, 2024

Ben Karras Apr 4, 2025
R & S Auto were referred by a good friend. First time experience at this body shop and must say has been an amazing journey. Sal and Dilraj has been very helpful and the good thing about this place is they send you information regarding your vehicle and not pressure you at all into fixing it but instead give you their profession advices. Thank you R & S
Wilson Diep Apr 4, 2025
I was not sure what to expect when I arrived but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only were the advisers super friendly and accommodating, the service was above and beyond. I was there for winter tire changeover. They did a full inspection of the vehicle at no cost, with a full diagnostics print out. I will be back to visit when it's spring change time. I recommend them to anyone looking for good service 👍
Kimberly Burke Oct 10, 2024

Domenico Albanese Apr 4, 2025
Excellent customer service!
Rosanne Howell Apr 4, 2025
A new customer, I brought my car into R&S for several reasons - oil change, tire change, clean engine. When I dropped off my car, Dilraj (service advisor and owner) gave me a clear timeline for when my car would be ready for pickup. During the day, I received updates - not just text messages, but a full diagnostic that included red / yellow / green prioritization plus details and photos for each. I really appreciated the diagnostic with the pictures and recommendations. Also appreciated that the car was ready for pickup as promised!
Lucas Chang Apr 4, 2025
A++ service from start to finish! The team at R&S Auto provided a thorough and detailed check of my vehicle, followed by a comprehensive report complete with pictures and videos of the findings. The level of professionalism was impressive, and I appreciated the follow-up messages keeping me updated throughout the process. The price was very competitive, especially considering the high-quality work and attention to detail. I would highly recommend R&S Auto to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy auto repair services. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give them ten stars if I could!
Sim Apr 4, 2025
Took my Mercedes in for maintenance and a fault repair for SRS. The team at R&S explained everything in detail and were very welcoming. The digital inspection report provides deep insights into the vehicle's condition - and the perks (warranty on replaced parts, shuttle service, 6month vehicle roadside assistance) were great. Would recommend 10/10. They will be my choice of shop for any future requirements of my vehicle.
MEHDEEP SINGH Apr 4, 2025
Very friendly and knowledgeable, really like how they keep the customer informed throughout the service. Highly recommend.
Erich Ukwitz Apr 4, 2025
