Are you interested in being in business for yourself, but not by yourself? A Mister Transmission franchise could be the answer. Have a look at a few stories from our feature franchise owners.

 

 

 

“Long before graduating from high school my goal was to be in business for myself, in the automotive sector. Soon after I was afforded the opportunity to do so, I became a Mister Transmission franchisee and never looked back.

However, it was not without hard work, developing and training a strong support staff (team). Learning how to grow my business, using programs and procedures provided by head office has enabled me to have a successful and rewarding franchise in North Vancouver.

Mister Transmission, a structurally sound company with a strong foundation provides you with the support and business resources you require to be successful. The tools are in the tool box! Open it.” -Bob McFegan, Mister Transmission North Vancouver


 

“Belonging to a team of professionals can be a life fulfilling experience. Fourteen years ago a partnership was formed between two goal oriented individuals. After working in the automotive industry for many years, we have joined forces to bring expert service, quality repairs & outstanding warranty protection. After implementing these goals this has made us one of the best transmission shops in Canada. With the dedication we both have put forward in making this franchise profitable, we have been able to enjoy other aspects of life.

Being partners in a business franchise has been very enjoyable, we have been very fortunate to work with a great team of players. Owning your own business is exciting & self motivating, as long as you can stayed focus on your business. We are proud to be known as Mister Transmission in our community, and we represent what Mister Transmission stands for. HEY MISTER, YOU’RE A FRIEND OF MINE!” -Jim Hodgson and Terry Courneya, Mister Transmission Peterborough


 

“I recently purchased an existing Mister Transmission franchise in Red Deer, Alberta. After spending a number of years involved in car dealerships, I found the dealerships cost me valuable time with my young son. As a single father of a five year old I insisted on a Monday-Friday 8am-5pm business that would allow me the flexibility to enjoy my family as well as be a good return on my investment. In February 2014 I officially took over the operation from the previous franchisee and we have made a number of positive changes within our shop. Considering I am currently just past my 90 day period, my depth of knowledge is still minimal but my business is flourishing. Prior to taking over the location I had no clue what to expect from the transmission business, but I knew a bit about people and I knew a bit about how they do business regarding cars. The team at Mister Transmission has been quick to offer advice, constructive information regarding the transmission business and share success and failure stories to ensure my business is prosperous. Although I was nervous of venturing into a niche market industry that I knew little about, the experience has been extremely positive so far. Personally, the concept of buying into a franchise is like buying the recipe of success. The ingredients are all available if you choose to apply them according to the plan. Fortunately Mister Transmission has years of experience to pull from as well as many new eager faces looking to grow.

As a new owner, this is an exciting position to have invested. It was the right choice for me considering I have the confidence to be successful but felt more comfortable having a resource to mentor from their experience.” -Tim Bellamy, Mister Transmission Red Deer

Chris 9296834
Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and very professional. My vehicle had to have the transmission pan replaced because the filter is part of the pan. They stocked the pan and it wasn’t too bad of a price either. Dropped off the vehicle for 8 and it was done shortly before lunch. Highly recommend and would definitely return for my next service.

Shawn Harriman
I was in an extreme pinch. It was a Thursday and I was leaving on a long road trip Sunday, and thought my transmission wasn’t shifting properly. They couldn’t get me in Thursday afternoon so the got me in for a free road test and diagnostic early Friday. Transmission was great but had a really bad wheel bearing. They said they may get me in at the end of the day, but it wasn’t a guarantee. I didn’t realize they closed at 3 on Fridays and called just before 3 to see if I was getting in. The receptionist said no dice, and I hung up. Before I could call another garage she called back and said they’d squeeze me in. They worked on it til 5, when it was done! Jo-el was so friendly and went more than an extra mile for me, and made our trip a success! Thanks so much to your team!!!

Scott Quilty
They were extremely busy and couldn't fit me in, but what impressed me most was that they took the time to recommend two other places that might be able to help. To me, a business willing to refer a customer elsewhere when they can't provide the service themselves is a sign of professionalism and confidence in the quality of their work. Very much appreciated. Great customer service and a great attitude. Thank you!

Kristin Stimers
I can't say enough on how pleased I am with the professionalism and competency of Dan and his staff. I've been burned before by shady mechanics and I can honestly say they are some of the best! Dan was polite and friendly from my first phone call, and he took the time to LISTEN to all my questions and answered them in a clear and kind way that helped me understand the problem. Not once did I feel like I was being rushed out of there. The problem (leaky transmission) was fixed in a timely manner and it was done well. He noticed another issue that was causing me problem (bad ball joints) but I never once felt like he was trying to "find" issues and upsell me. He solved this one as well and now my car sounds better than it did when I first purchased the vehicle used. I would definitely recommend Dan and his staff for not only transmission related issues but for all mechanical issues. The final bill was VERY reasonable. I'm so VERY happy that I found Dan at Mister Transmission. THANK YOU!!

Teodoro Sigarra
I was having shuddering issues at low speeds and RPM fluctuations while driving on the highway. I took my car to the dealership, and even though it had only around 80,000 km, they said it was no longer under warranty. They told me the torque converter was the problem and quoted me about $3,000 for labor alone, plus a couple thousand more for parts. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion from Mister Transmission. They inspected my car for free, including a test drive and diagnosis, while the dealership wanted to charge me $200 just for diagnostics. After they serviced my car, it runs like new again no more shuddering and no more RPM fluctuations. The best part is that I paid less than $1,000, saving thousands of dollars. It was money well spent. I 100% recommend this place. They are honest, professional, and don't try to upsell unnecessary repairs. If you're having transmission issues, do yourself a favor and visit Mister Transmission before going to the dealership.
