Short and sweet. Had a Trans done in Pickering. Had a problem with seal leakage. Returned to Pickering location and no longer there. Drove to Mr Trans on Westney 195. Explained my problem. Steven the manager spoke to tech Tom and gave me a solution. Tom dismantled complete Trans. Found some serious flaws and proceeded to remedy them. Their work ethic customer service is top notch. Dealing with these guys is both comforting and educational. I highly recommend this specific shop for all transmission work bar none. Thanks again Steven and Tom. .

Excellent customer service from start to finish !!! Aki/Manager ,Jody/Service Advisor and Sal went the extra mile to get the transmission connector pipe from an out of town parts dealer as the local dealer was unable to deliver it on time as promised. They replaced the leaking pipe due to rust perforation and also proactively recommended replacing the other rusted transmission pipe above it for peace of mind. This is a common problem for some Toyota Highlanders and Matrix models.The time it took to do the job by lowering the sub-frame was accurate and professionally completed. I highly recommend this branch.
