4 Transmission Services To Help Your Automatic Transmission

Learn about four automatic transmission services that could save your transmission for a potential catastrophic failure and increase its longevity and efficacy.

1. Have A Look

In life, it’s important to take a moment to stop and smell the roses every once in a while. It’s also important to stop and take a look. In this case, look at your transmission. Look for leaks. Look for something out of place. And if you can’t tell, the experts at Mister Transmission can.

Among auto parts, only the engine can rival the transmission in complexity. As transmission experts, the technicians at Mister Transmission can tell a lot just by looking. Often, however, more work is needed. This might include a lift examination. Getting underneath the transmission can tell us a lot. But in some cases, it might be necessary to remove the transmission from the chassis to get a close-up look at every part.

2. A Fluid Check

Automatic transmission fluid is the lifeblood of the automatic transmission and CVTs, as well. Some manual transmissions use transmission fluid, while others use gear oil, motor oil, or transmission oil. Good automatic transmission fluid should be neutral smelling and largely translucent with a slightly reddish (or sometimes greenish) hue. Bad fluid smells bad and looks opaque. If your fluid is like this, we can change it out for new fluid.

3. Take It For A Spin

It can be useful for a professional to take your vehicle for a road test sometimes. At Mister Transmission, our road test consists of two segments: a stationary test and a driving test. We will thoroughly test every position of your transmission for slipping, noises, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, and early or late shift patterns.

4. High-Tech Service

Transmissions, and vehicles more generally, have changed a lot over the past century or so. Today, almost all vehicles are computerized. At Mister Transmission, we have the technology and knowhow to interface with your vehicle’s onboard computer. We have software that can communicate with the onboard computer.

Doing this produces a code. This code can tell us if and where there’s a problem within your transmission. The onboard scan is a key part of any diagnostic process. It cuts down on guesswork and it makes it easier and faster to figure out the cause of any transmission problems.

Come To Mister Transmission For Any Manual Or Automatic Transmission Service You Need.

No matter what transmission issue you’re experiencing, we at Mister Transmission can handle it. Our transmission technicians can provide any transmission service you need. Please get in touch with us today to schedule a transmission inspection, maintenance service, or repair.

Tim V
Had outstanding service from this shop, particularly the Manager George S. who is about one the nicest individuals you will ever meet. He put me at ease for what was suspected to be a very large issue as diagnosed from another shop. In the end, it was another issue entirely, one significantly more affordable than expected. George was prompt with follow ups, went the distance to find a new part, and had me back on the road in a few days. George is a gem, and the work done at the shop was top notch. Highly recommend for any transmission/driveline issues.

We had purchased a used honda civic from a used car dealership for our son to commute to university. Just our luck not even 3 months later a check engine light was on as well as a flashing D light and check transmission on the information Center console. We had taken it to a reputable dealership on Mapleview drive to get it diagnosed, after a full service that included a transmission fluid service the technician told us that he would erase the code and if the code came back to find a transmission shop . Well the code came back! I had called several local garages and was told that they don’t work on Honda civic C V T transmission. Luckily I called “Al” at (mister transmission Barrie) I told “Al” the history and he said to bring the civic to Essa road location and where he can diagnose it for free . Al gave me an Honest diagnosis with a break down of how much it would cost . And within a week we had a total rebuilt transmission and I feel he was a trustworthy person to deal with no matter what transmission problems you have even if it’s a Honda C V T .

Burak Ozbek
So i was basically trying to figure out if Honda CVTs were reliable. I was doing research and decided to call this place to see if they could humour me briefly. The guy i spoke to, cant remember his name, 43 years old, very friendly, told me everything i needed to know, clearly takes customer service very seriously and was willing to HAVE A CONVERSATION which no one does anymore. Will be going here for everything from now on. And if you want to know, without insulting other car makers, toyota and honda are the usual suspects for reliable CVTs.

Vanessa Orchard
Mandy's customer service was second to none. Not only did he make sure the work they could do on our truck got done in a timely manner, but also made arrangements for other services to be completed that are outside their scope. PLUS, he took care of getting our truck there and back! Like Mandy said, we hope we don't need to see him for that truck again, but if we need transmission services for any of our other vehicles, we'll be back! Thank you for your great customer service Mandy!

Akash Kachchhi
Highly recommended! I wasn't sure where to take my car for a transmission repair. Had quotes from other shops, which were all around the same, but no one was offering warranty on their work more than one year even after spending so much money. Only Mr. Mandeep offered me three years warranty, which makes me assured to go forward with the repair. Mr. Wes is really knowledgeable technician and he did a fantastic job, car works like new! Incredible staff that go above and beyond for their customers. Their customer service is great and the car was done on time.
