Do Automatic Transmissions need servicing?

Yes! Some manufacturers advise that their transmissions are "sealed for life", but what is the lifetime of a car? We know we can extend the life of a transmission, therefore the vehicle, with proper servicing.

Our team have specialised training to ensure your car is in safe hands for this vital work.

Why Auto Transmissions Need Proper Maintenance

Many modern vehicles with ZF automatic transmissions are marketed as having "sealed for life" gearboxes, implying they don't require servicing. But in reality, "sealed for life" often just means 'sealed for the life of the warranty' - not the actual lifespan of the vehicle.

ZF, the manufacturer of these high-performance transmissions, recommends oil and filter changes every 60,000 to 80,000 miles (or even sooner depending on driving conditions). Why? Because transmission fluid degrades over time due to heat, friction, and contamination from internal wear.

Failing to service your ZF gearbox can result in:

Slipping or harsh gear changes
Premature wear of internal components
Costly repairs or full gearbox failure

Regular servicing - including fluid and filter replacement - helps protect the transmission, maintain smooth shifting, and extend the lifespan of the unit well beyond the original warranty.

So, while your ZF transmission might be sealed, it’s not immune to wear. A service now can prevent a breakdown later.

What Is a ZF Transmission?

ZF is a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance automatic gearboxes, commonly found in premium vehicles such as BMW, Audi, Land Rover, Jaguar, and others. Known for smooth shifting and fuel efficiency, ZF gearboxes are a popular choice for modern automatic vehicles.

However, even with their advanced engineering, ZF transmissions require proper maintenance — especially if you want to avoid unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs.

What’s Involved in a ZF Transmission Service?

At our workshop, we follow manufacturer-approved processes to ensure your transmission is properly cared for. Our ZF transmission service includes:
