turbocharger

Whether you drive a Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke diesel truck, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with turbochargers. Over the past couple of decades, turbos have nearly become stock equipment on diesel pickups, and are becoming increasingly common on gas vehicles as well. But what are they, how do they work, and why are they there? Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL has the answers.

The condition of your transmission fluid can tell you a lot about the condition of the transmission itself. At Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL, we want to help you be aware of what to look for and what we look for when servicing your transmission.

Clay was very knowledgeable about my specific tires. He was professional, called me with an update, and even dropped my car off at my work because I was working late. I couldn't ask for a better experience. I'll be back and recommend Dirk's to everyone! Thank you Clay!
transmission

Automatic transmissions aren’t well understood outside of specialists like our technicians here at Dirk’s Auto Clinic in Crystal River, FL. While it would be impossible to teach you enough to make you a transmission expert in a quick article, what we can do is give you the fundamental knowledge you need to have a good idea of what your transmission is doing and how it works. Being able to understand how your transmission works will help you identify any problems that may arise to prevent further wear and tear on your vehicle.
