Automatic Servicing

Your automatic transmission contains a large quantity of transmission fluid that lubricates parts, transfers heat and transmits power to the wheels.

This fluid deteriorates with use and heat. As the oil breaks down, contaminants form and your transmission will start wearing prematurely.

Modern automatic transmissions are extremely complex and sensitive to contaminant and sludge build up.

The most effective thing you can do to extend the life of your transmission and keep it working correctly is to carry out regular Transmission Flushing to remove contaminants and replace the fluid.

Because we are a specialist workshop, we invest in specialist equipment to do the job properly. This flushing machine is just one way we can help you avoid expensive repairs. Your automatic and manual gearbox should be serviced every 40,000km, or more often if towing. Just like your engine there is also a filter in your transmission that may require replacement. When was yours last changed?

Important Note: If you have mechanical insurance on your vehicle you may need to ensure your gearbox is also properly serviced for any claims to be accepted.

Your manual gearbox contains oil that is designed to lubricate parts and transfer heat away from the working components. There are no filters or cooling systems in a manual gearbox so it is important to change the oil at the recommended intervals to remove contamination and replace the "worn out" oil.

Severe damage or premature wear will occur if you do not use quality oils of the correct viscosity and type. Viscosity is a measure of how thick (high viscosity) or how thin (low viscosity) oil is. There are many types of gearbox oils; all suited to particular applications and gearbox types.

Many gearbox failures are preventable. History shows that worn shift lever bushes, clutches and incorrect oil are responsible for a significant number of failures as well as oil leaks. Regular servicing by professionals can mean these small problems are identified before they become a major expense.

European Vehicles & Special Oils

Do you own a European vehicle or one with a CVT transmission?

We have rebuilt transmissions for customers because the incorrect oil had been added by a garage that didn't know the specific requirements. Many transmissions cannot accept anything but the correct oil and will soon fail if others are used. We carry a full range of specialty oils and will recommend the correct one for your application. Contact us for your particular vehicle >>

Many European vehicles (and now some others as well) have no dipsticks. The oil level must be checked and adjusted in a specific manor and requires specialist knowledge. Don't risk it with somebody unfamiliar with European vehicles; it could result in a major expense.

Differentials & Transfer Units

As well as automatic and manual gearboxes, we also repair differential and transfer units on all types of vehicles. Unfortunately many owners neglect maintenance on these units meaning premature failure. The cost of a service is a small percentage of a differential rebuild or replacement. Please Contact Us for a cost estimate for your vehicle.

Cooler Kits

Over-heating is one of the biggest causes of premature transmission failure (over 80%) so it makes sense to add extra cooling. We have a range of cooler units to suit your vehicle and it's intended purpose. Many factory systems do not supply sufficient cooling, especially as the vehicle gets older and the radiator unit begins to loose its efficiency. We strongly recommend cooler units for RVs or any vehicle that is used for towing. Contact us for a cost estimate for your vehicle >>

Additives can be useful in some circumstances for specific vehicles and problems. They are used to add various properties to the oil that it may not have. We carry a full range of transmission and diff additives and will make recommendations based on our assessment of your transmission.
