Transmission Maintenance & Service in Halifax, Nova Scotia

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.

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.

Why Choose Us

Lift Inspection

During the lift inspection 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

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.

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. Some of these services will require additional charges, which we will request you authorization prior to the work being performed.

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.

On 18th of November I had a seminar to go to for work in Darmouth and decided to take my personal vehicle instead as my wife wanted to do some shopping. 1 minute into my seminar my wife called and said that the car would drive forwards or backwards. So I had to call a cab to meet where she was stuck and went onto google and I tried the first place for transmission work and they said it would be 2 weeks before they could even take a look. So I called mister transmission and explained that we were out of town and explained the situation and they said that they could take a look that day and I asked them who they recommended for a tow Truck (Excel Towing). The tow truck showed in within 10 minutes and took us to Mister Transmission. Once there about 20 minuets later they said that they have to replace the front driver's axel. They told me the price and could have it by the next day. They told me that they believe that will fix the issue and it was only $1000 and not a new transmission in which I would have sold the car. They also told me that can't say that 100% that this will be the only expense but said from experience this should fix the problem. The recommendation was spot on and it didn't cost us any more money. 5 stars service for Mister Transmission and a negative 5 stars for our car. THANK YOU!!!

I’ve owned more than 20 cars in my 33 years and spent 10 years driving cab, so I’ve dealt with a lot of mechanics over the years. These guys are genuinely some of the best. I’ve gone to them twice, with my Acura ILX and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross about five years apart, and both times they provided thorough, accurate diagnostics that helped me understand exactly what was going on with my vehicles. Even when they didn’t have the time to take on the full repair themselves, as they had transmission work that they had to prioritize, they were upfront about it and didn’t charge me for work they couldn’t complete, despite the time they spent assessing the issue. That level of honesty is rare and they saved me a bunch of money trying to figure out what the issues were. I took the Acura to 5 different shops and no one was able to pinpoint the issue.. these guys said its the driveshaft after 1 hour of looking at it and told me there is a recall for this issue which Acura fixed for free! Their pricing is always fair, and it’s clear they take pride in doing right by their customers. I don’t usually write long reviews, but my experiences with this shop have been consistently positive. Top-notch owner, great mechanics, and respectful, knowledgeable front-counter staff. Highly recommend.

After reading all the great reviews for Mr. Transmission I took a chance and had my car towed to their location. I was thrilled with the honest assessment and prompt service. Mandy was kind, knowledgeable and patient as she walked me through the problems with my transmission. Speaking with my friends since then I've only sang praises for all the staff, from my first phone call with Jordan, who were attentive to my problem.

This crew got me in for an appointment and diagnosed the issue super quickly. The actual issue was not in fact the transmission, but the mounts that hold it in place. I hope I never have transmission issues, but if I do, I'll be going back :)
