Fluids & Flushes
Fluids & Flushes service involves replacing old, contaminated fluids in various vehicle systems with fresh fluids to ensure optimal performance and longevity of these systems.
Fluids & Flushes refer to the maintenance service that involves draining and replacing the fluids in different vehicle systems.
This includes engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Over time, these fluids degrade and become contaminated, which can lead to decreased performance, efficiency, and potentially damage the system they're designed to protect.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we perform comprehensive fluids and flushes services, ensuring that all fluids are at the correct levels and are replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations, using high-quality, compatible fluids for each specific vehicle system.
When or why do you need it?
Regular Fluids & Flushes Service is essential to maintain the health and efficiency of your vehicle's various systems.
These services are typically recommended based on mileage or time intervals specified by the vehicle manufacturer. For example, transmission fluid might need to be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, while coolant might need a flush and replacement every 30,000 miles or so. Keeping up with these maintenance tasks is crucial to prevent wear and tear, overheating, and corrosion within these systems.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we provide thorough fluid management services to ensure your vehicle's systems are well-maintained, which helps in extending the life of your vehicle and preventing costly repairs down the line.

Frequently asked questions
If it's a car, we'll fix it. If it's a question, we'll answer it.
Topping off your power steering fluid is not a substitute for a proper power steering fluid flush. While topping off the fluid can temporarily address low fluid levels, it doesn't address the underlying issues that a fluid flush aims to resolve like contaminants, fluid breakdown, air entrapment and more.
We recommend getting a power steering fluid flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles or as per your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Regular flushing helps prevent system wear and failure.
Absolutely! In fact, it is often wise to combine differential fluid exchange with other routine maintenance tasks to save time and ensure your vehicle is up-to-date on regularly scheduled maintenance.
Driving with old or contaminated differential fluid can lead to increased friction, wear, and potential damage to differential components.
