With the summer months approaching, many families are planning road trips. To have an enjoyable worry-free road trip be sure to have your vehicles checked by reliable mechanics. One of the East Valley’s best kept secrets is the excellent service provided at Doug’s Performance Transmission in Apache Junction.

Doug’s Performance Transmission is nationally known in the world of truck racing and sports equipment. Doug and his mechanics provide more than repair and rebuilding transmission services. While planning for a recent road trip from Mesa Arizona to Silverdale Washington, the mechanics changed the oil, checked fluids, brakes and performed a tire rotation. One of the mechanics also noticed that the vehicle needed new wheel bearings. After a short wait the wheel bearings where replaced and the vehicle was on the road again.

Having been a valued customer at Doug’s Performance Transmission for many years, my vehicle has continued to be maintained at high performance standards. Many services have been performed on my vehicle through the years, such as: radiator replacements, tire services, brake replacements and transmission repair and servicing.

4. Be sure all brakes are in good working order
5. Check status of vehicle battery
