A Brief History of the Automatic Transmission

Jan 4, 2017 | By Mister Transmission

No more missed shift gates. No engine lugging or racing. No torn-stocking, high-heel clutch-pedaling dramas. None of that. Just press the gas and go.   The introduction of the automatic transmission did this by offering a “no-muss, no-fuss” form of […]

Justin Nicol
I am extremely pleased with the results delivered by the team that I met today. My transmission seemed to be slipping at times and the service engine light had appeared and disappeared over several months. After a diagnostic examination and a drive test, a determination was made. Efficiently and quickly my car was in repair. The experts also advised me of two other maintenance issues that my vehicle presented and I thank them for their support and honesty. Thank you for the job well done

Dave In
This shop is great, they worked on my daughter's 2013 focus in 2017. When Ford would not honour their warranty. It is still going strong. I was told the transmission will out live the car. Well yes. It's time for a new veh with. Worked on my 2003 F150, great work, now my 2010, once again great work. They took time to find a miss, in the truck. I'm a car guy, and know shops that do great work. Yes everyone is never happy with the work. But for me there is always two sides.

Abigail Schuen
I got stranded in Canada after my car broke down after crossing the U.S. border and Mister Transmission was a life saver!! They fit us in even though they were busy, let us sit inside until we figured out next steps, and even drove us (and all of our roadtripping stuff) to the car rental facility! They truly helped us figure out what were our best opinions and eased so much stress. I cannot reccomend Mister Transmission enough!!
