At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we understand that there are endless ways a transmission can sound, behave, and feel, depending on what type of vehicle it’s in, what type of transmission it is, and the state of the vehicle’s repair. Sometimes, when people buy a different vehicle, they notice it doesn’t act the same as their last vehicle, which leads them to believe there is a problem.

fleet of trucks

At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we service all kinds of trucks, young and old. If you’re in the market for a new or new-to-you truck, here’s some advice we encourage you to consider.

Maintenance Tool Box

Keeping track of maintenance done on your fleet vehicles and commercial trucks is one of the most important aspects of fleet management. At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we track maintenance and repairs for a number of reasons. Here’s why:

transmission

Does your car, truck, or SUV shift at the wrong moment? Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville has the solution. Shift point issues can manifest themselves in two ways; either your car will rapidly shift through several or all the gears at low speed, low rpm, getting to the highest gear before you’ve gained enough momentum, or shifts will be delayed, the transmission refusing to shift until far into the RPM range.

air filter being added the engine

Air filters are an important part of vehicle maintenance. What many people don’t realize is you actually have two filters; one for your engine and a cabin filter to filter the air coming into your car. Both of them function the same way but have entirely different purposes. They are often neglected, particularly the cabin filter, and yours may need to be changed right now. This guide, provided by Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, highlights the importance of filters, symptoms of an overused one, and how to maintain them.

coolant cap

Coolant flushes are an important maintenance procedure, necessary for keeping your truck reliably on the road. At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, we know that coolant flushes are a key aspect of preventative maintenance that goes a long way.

semi diesel exhaust

We know how important a good exhaust setup is on a diesel truck. Whether you’re powered by a Cummins, a Duramax, a Powerstroke, or something else, your exhaust plays a major role in performance, engine sound, and even aesthetics. At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, our professional mechanics have the equipment, knowledge, and ability necessary to get your exhaust in shape.
