Common questions

My automatic is slipping — is the gearbox gone?: Not necessarily. Low fluid, worn clutches inside the unit, or electronic faults can cause slip. We diagnose before quoting a full replacement so you are not spending money you do not need to.
Do you rebuild gearboxes in-house?: Scope depends on the fault. Some jobs are repaired on site; others need specialist strip or an exchange unit. We advise the most cost-effective route and explain the options clearly.
Should I change gearbox oil?: Many manufacturers specify intervals. We can check whether yours is due and use the correct specification fluid — this alone can resolve some shift quality issues on automatic gearboxes.
