What is the difference between a TRANSMISSION FLUSH and a TRANSMISSION SERVICE ?

AT CANBY TRANSMISSION WE BELIEVE IN A PROPER TRANSMISSION SERVICE OVER A FLUSH AND HERE IS WHY:

A FLUSHED TRANSMISSION DOES NOT INCLUDE DROPPING THE PAN SO YOU DO NOT KNOW THE CONDITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN POOR SHAPE OR THERE ARE A LOT OF CONTAMINANTS IN THE TRANSMISSION THE ONLY THING YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH BY FLUSHING IS STIRRING UP ALL THOSE DEBRIS WITH NEW DETERGENTS IN THE FLUID AND PUSHING THEM THROUGH THE FILTER AND INTO THE VALVE BODY AND ELECTRONIC SOLENOIDS CAUSING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

WE AT CANBY TRANSMISSION PREFER TO DO THE TRADITIONAL SERVICE WHERE YOU PULL THE TRANSMISSION PAN DOWN AND PHYSICALLY CLEAN IT OUT, REPLACE THE FILTER, ADJUST ANY BANDS THAT ARE APPLICABLE AND MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. FILL WITH NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IF WE THINK THAT THE FLUID IS EXTREMELY DIRTY OR DARK WE CAN PERFORM A FULL FLUSH AT THIS TIME. MOST TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD HAVE A ROUTINE SERVICE AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES OR 15,000 IF TOWING OR SEVERE DUTY.
