Expert automatic gearbox diagnostics in Worcestershire

Once relatively uncommon in the UK, the automatic gearbox is becoming increasingly popular in new cars. While wear and tear on automatic gearboxes is often less than what’s inflicted on a manual version, they’ll still experience problems from time to time, and that’s when you may need a garage’s expertise. If you’re looking for automatic gearbox diagnostics in Worcestershire, head to the Clutch & Service Centre in Kidderminster.

Why Automatic Gearboxes Are Becoming More Common

Modern technology has brought about advances in the build and quality of the automatic gearbox, so they’re now no less desirable than their manual counterparts. And because they’ve become more sophisticated, they are capable of enabling road users to drive smoothly and efficiently at low revs, providing better fuel economy and reducing harmful emissions.

The market for alternatively fuelled cars – like hybrids and electric cars – is also increasing, and most of these now incorporate automatic gearboxes as standard.
