inside of a transmission

At HMI Auto Care in Hackettstown, NJ, we’ve seen and diagnosed every warning light in the book. Many people ignore their check engine light, and while it isn’t advised, often get away with it. Transmission warning lights are different, however. Here's what it means and what you should do when it comes on.

To the two men that saved our day - 3 families from Florida got stranded on I80 trying to get to the airport. We googled the nearest Avis and barely got there as there were wires sticking out of our tires. These two men were more than ready and willing to help us! They got us in and out as quickly as possible so we can make our flight. You two men were the nicest, most helpful, and honest people. People like you are very rare- our families thank you so much for your service, your patience, and your willingness to help us.

Sluggish. Squealing. Unreliable. Vibrating. If any of these descriptors fit your vehicle’s recent behavior, it just might be trying to tell you something – like it’s time for a tune-up.

Today’s vehicles differ significantly from their decades-old brethren that required a tune-up every 10,000 or 20,000 miles. With newer vehicles, it’s increasingly common for manufacturer-recommended service intervals to stretch to 100,000 miles before certain maintenance items, such as replacing the spark plugs, should be completed.
