How Car Transmission Lines Work

I was having an issue with my 2012 Jeep Liberty, possibly related to a sensor. He diagnosed and fixed it the same day, I’m really impressed with the quick and efficient service!

This St. Margaret location was awesome. They found my rear engine leak in next to no time at all. And took care of a few other random repairs too. Even though they're are a transmission shop, they went above and beyond for me and my repairs which im so appreciative of. I will be recommending them to anyone who asks. No wonder they've been in business so long. Great work!

Mr Transmission on Upper James is the only shop I trust for repairs on my vehicle. Justin and his team are friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and always make the effort to go above and beyond.

Great experience!! They were very kind and super accommodating to my busy work schedule offering to stay late for me to pick up my car. They explained everything in detail and never made me feel bad for not knowing anything about cars. Would absolutely recommend!!

I Bring all my Vehicles here for maintenance work these guys are top notch! Very knowledgeable staffing and it’s locally owned and operated so can’t beat that!! Thank you!!

Fast, friendly and efficient service. Unusual problem but they knew about it and did the necessary repairs; at a reasonable price. And a courtesy car as well!

Blair and his team at this location seem to be the go-to for known and unknown transmission types and were recommended by another mechanic shop. For example, I needed to replace a transmission on a 2003 Right-Hand-Drive (RHD) Hybrid Toyota Estima I imported and they were able to swap it out. I appreciated that someone in the city was willing to get creative and not turn me away because it wasn't part of a pricing template.During a more recent visit, I needed a diagnostic for a Used Nissan Pathfinder I had purchased and requested a CVT fluid change. The diagnostic returned a faulty Mass Air Flow sensor. The front desk (Darren) went with an OEM sensor ($600) versus one of the $200 sensors you find on Amazon and his rationale for doing so seemed sound as many of the reviews showed that oversea-sourced sensors from Amazon fail within a year.Perhaps I'm of a more curious nature than most, and I have plenty of questions about the work being performed, what's being used, and the condition of the fluids being removed. I appreciate when shops help me understand their rationale. Darren is a pleasant-enough fellow, however, I did not feel on my last visit that we were in sync when I was seeking information on the condition of my transmission and fluids. At one point I was told that, "Curiosity killed the cat," which I found an odd response to a straightforward question. I'll chalk it up as a misunderstanding. My advice to this location is that a little information goes a long way to reassuring the customer. If Darren had been a bit more curious about the work being performed, I would have felt in a better position to say it was money well spent. My vehicle doesn't drive or perform any different since having the sensor and CVT fluid changed, so in my case, I would have welcomed a confident accounting of the condition of the fluids and work. Dare I suggest photos as some of the other shops are now doing. I'm glad we have Blair and his mechanics here in the city doing the work they do. My suggestion for improvement is that they modernize some of their process and systems (eg. photos on file) so that customers like myself can feel reassured throughout the interaction and beyond.
