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

I had an issue with...
DZIOB963852963
I had an issue with my 1999 Toyota 4Runner—the clutch pedal was almost on the floor, and shifting gears was difficult. I took it to Mister Transmission at the Dixie location, where the problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed. Despite the car being 27 years old and the parts not being easy to find, they got me back on the road the same day. The staff were very competent and friendly, the service was fast, and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

I brought my car in to have the clutch replaced back in March. I was in a rush to get my car in somewhere, and after having been quoted $5k by the dealership, the staff at Mister Transmission accommodated me within the hour and did the service for $1k less than the dealership. Later, there was an issue with the battery when the car was returned home and they looked at it for me at no cost. They even called a week or so later to make sure that the car was running okay.All around great service, great prices, and friendly staff. Thanks a bunch!

Brought my van in on a wednesday afternoon. Despite having called a different transmission shop, julie at the front quickly worked through the confusion and had my van test driven immediately.Turns out what the dealership had told and quoted me for was incorrect and would've had me going back to them endlessly...Options were clearly laid out, transmission was completely rebuilt and back on the road by end of the day Friday, thousands cheaper than expected.Fantastic business :)

Gary at Mr. Transmission was attentive and thorough in diagnosing my truck, taking the time to properly test everything. He determined it wasn’t a transmission issue, didn’t charge for the diagnostics, and even referred me to a trusted local shop for the actual fix. Thank you!

Mackenzie Spencer
Top notch service at this location. I had a very specific situation with the transmission in my car, they were comfortable with me bringing my own part & had it installed for a very fair price. Other locations gave me insane quotes, I was very happy with my experience with Chris. My silly little Honda CR-Z is good as new.

Nat O.
I had such a great experience at this shop and felt genuinely taken care of from start to finish. As someone who doesn’t always understand the technical side of car repairs, I really appreciated how Dan listened to my concerns and explained things in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed.They made my safety a priority and handled the urgent issues right away so I could get back on the road with peace of mind for myself and my kids. They also went above and beyond by providing me with a vehicle while mine was being worked on, which made a huge difference.Communication was excellent throughout the entire process they kept me updated every step of the way and were clear about timelines. On top of that, they were very fair with pricing and worked within my budget, which I truly appreciated.It’s not always easy to find a mechanic you can trust, but I definitely found one here. Highly recommend 👏🏾
