Why Transmission Service Is Important
Your Volkswagen’s transmission converts engine power into motion, allowing for smooth acceleration and optimal fuel economy. Over time, transmission fluid can break down or become contaminated, leading to harsh shifts, hesitation, or slipping gears. Regular service helps prevent major repairs and extends your vehicle’s lifespan.
