If you own a Ford vehicle you may be affected by this recall. According to CBS News, Ford recently announced a recall that affects over 1.3 million vehicles that are primarily located in North America. The recall was issued mainly due to problems with rear suspension and transmission control software.
Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Griffin drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.
Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs!

My father-in-law has always been my go-to mechanic. If there was something he couldn't do, he always knew where to take it. Since he has passed away, it's been extremely hard to find a good mechanic take my mother-in-law's truck. I have to say National Brake and Muffler exceeded my expectations! I will continue to go back and recommend anyone to them! - Stacy C. (5 star review on Google)
