Transmission Maintenance & Service in Kingston, Ontario
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.

Learn more about the Multi-Check Inspection:
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.
What’s Next After Your Free Road Test and Multi Check?
*Additional Charges may apply*
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.

My girlfriend and I had to have the flex plate/ flywheel replaced on our 2017 Dodge Journey SXT. We both said “ oh great , we won’t be able to afford to have it fixed. The finance company that financed the car has a list of approved locations that they send customers to for repairs. We have an extended warranty on the car. Thats another story altogether. The first place we took it to ( won’t name the company because that’s going to be a separate review) quoted us $2,300 to fix it with parts and labour. We figured because it was transmission related, we figured that was acceptable. Then we found out that the extended warranty wouldn’t cover it. On top of that, they never took it for a road test. This is where MR. TRANSMISSION comes into play. They are also an approved repair location. We took it there, explained what was the problem was. First thing they did and said was that they were going to take it for a road test, to confirm what the issue was at no charge whatsoever. They confirmed that it was indeed the flex plate / flywheel . Here is where we decided that MR. TRANSMISSION was going to get all of our future business. They quoted us $1,358 including taxes, parts and labour. They also confirmed that the extended warranty wouldn’t cover not cover the cost of the repairs. Now here is where things got even better for us. They deal with a 3rd party warranty/ insurance company that covers repairs, and they approved the repairs for us. All we had to pay was a $53 deductible. Then make bi-weekly or monthly payments. So there was more than $1,000 dollars difference between the 2 separate quotes and they gave us a 1 year warranty on the repairs, no questions asked. So hats off to MR. TRANSMISSION for the awesome customer service and professionalism. They went the extra mile for us. Also a big thank-you to Jennifer for walking us through the process and keeping our frayed nerves to a minimum. JOB WELL DONE MR.TRANSMISSION
