transmission

Your transmission mounts keep your transmission in place and suppress vibrations coming from the drivetrain. How do you know when to replace them or when they’re going bad. At Total Performance Inc in Mahwah, NJ, our goal is to educate you about your vehicle so that you can drive it safely and prolong its life.

Our goal at Total Performance Inc in Mahwah, NJ is to provide you with the best transmission service possible.

Knowledge about your vehicle and its systems allow you to catch problems when they arise and deal with them appropriately, saving you money and easing some of the stress of car ownership. You probably already know how to check your oil, and when to change it. Checking and maintaining transmission fluid is something people tend to understand far less about, however. Here’s what you need to know.

dirty air filter vs clean filter

Your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot of clean air. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Total Performance Inc in Mahwah, we ensure you get the best air quality in your vehicle and explain the process of where this dirty air is going to our area drivers.
