Transmission Maintenance & Service in Barrie, Ontario

Keep your car on the road with preventative transmission maintenance

Just as you have other parts of your car serviced, your transmission needs maintenance to ensure a long life and avoid transmission problems. Our transmission service consists of a complete diagnosis of your transmission’s performance and general operation. Several of these procedures will be performed twice; once by the centre manager, and then again by a technician. This method allows double checking of your transmission’s key systems, while providing you with added assurance.

Multi-Check Inspection in Barrie, Ontario

The Mister Transmission Multi-Check Inspection includes:

  • Fluid Check
  • Road Test
  • Lift Inspection/Diagnosis
  • Pan Examination

 

Learn more about the Multi-Check Inspection:

Transmission Fluid Check

The fluid check indicates the first sign of possible wear and damage. A transmission in good condition will have a clear red fluid. If your fluid is discoloured or has unpleasant odour, this may be an indication of internal wear and damage which is occurring as you drive your vehicle. An unpleasant odour and discoloration, in combination with other symptoms, may require an internal inspection of your transmission.

Road Test

The road test consists of two segments: a stationary test and driving test, which together comprise the most detailed portion of the Multi-Check. Every position of your transmission will be thoroughly tested for slipping, noises, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, as well as late or early shift patterns.

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection/diagnosis our technician will check the following:

  • Neutral Switch
  • Engine RPM
  • Throttle Linkage
  • Modulators
  • Transmission Mounts
  • U-Joints
  • Fluid Retention
  • Electronic Controls

This will determine if a minor adjustment will correct the problem of your transmission.

Pan Examination

The pan examination is the most important part of the Mister Transmission Multi-Check. It provides the centre manager, technician, and yourself with a partial look inside your transmission.

In all pans, there are some metal particles and friction material present. However, an excessive amount indicates internal wear and damage. If that is the case, and it is determined that a minor adjustment will not correct the problem, we will recommend Mister Transmission’s inspection service. This service will determine exactly what is wrong inside your transmission.

 

What’s Next After Your Multi-Check Inspection?

Inspection Service

Your transmission is one of the most complex systems in your vehicle, with hundreds of precision parts operating together. Determining the problem and providing a price sometimes requires removing and even dismantling your transmission. Not only will we be able to determine the problem, we’ll also be able to determine the cause to prevent any future problems.

Transmission Fluid Change Service

We also offer a transmission fluid change service to help ensure your transmission continues to operate at its best for years to come.

One of the best experiences...
Wayne King
One of the best experiences I have at a repair shop. I had transmission problems that I expected would cost hundreds of dollars to fix. Ended up it was just some rust seizing a linkage - they cleaned it up and didn't even charge me anything works fine now and I couldn't be happier - will be recommending them to everyone.

Brought my Nissan in for what I and many thought was a transmission issue. The team at Mister Transmission Test drove it and checked it over and determined it had an issue but not the transmission. They handed back my keys and didn’t charge me. Thank you, Jason for the great service!

Dirk Bag
I have waited a full year to leave a fair review.Got me a 2018 Ford F150 with that faulty 10 speed that started to act up. I called 2 or 3 transmission shops that quoted thousands above, 1 nearly doubled what this shop quoted and 1 shops that said they will not work on this transmission... unbelievable..lol.Took it to Mr. Transmission and got it rebuilt. This truck runs like new now, better than new imo. I even went to test drive a newer 2020 model with much lower kms to compare and that one didn't shift as well as my 2018.Amazing transmission shop!Thank you!!

Christopher Pineault
I had a fantastic experience with this team! They are incredibly skilled, efficient, and truly go above and beyond. My caravan had major issues, including a complicated transmission problem, and they took the time to thoroughly diagnose everything with great attention to detail.What really stood out was their transparency and communication throughout the entire process. They understood how important my van is for work and made it a top priority to get me back on the road as quickly as possible.Thanks to their expertise, my van now drives like new. Huge thank you to the Barrie team and management—you clearly know your stuff. Highly recommend to anyone needing reliable, professional transmission service!

Excellent service!! I mostly dealt with Jason, a pleasure to deal with. Throughout the time that our van was at the shop Jason kept open communication with us. He answered all of our questions, was always polite and pleasant. They fixed the issue with our van on a timely manner, and there were no extra surprises at time of payment. I totally recomment them. Thank you Jason. 👍
