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.

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.

amazing experience! I recently brought my 2018 GMC Sierra to Mr. Transmission, Matt was amazing to deal with, my truck was having issues with the torque converter shutter over 100km/h and a hard shift between 1st and 2nd gear. Matt and his team did a rebuild on the transmission, explained everything in detail and had different options and they were extremely patient and understanding when it came to warranty, and picking/dropping off the truck! definitely a happy customer!!!!

I recently had my car into a shop to replace my wheel bearing, I got a call that a seal on my transmission needed to be replaced and was leaking and would need to go to a transmission shop, which caused some stress as it’s a month before birthdays/christmas. My shop told me they had called Matt at Mister Transmission who could get me in the next week if I wanted, one sigh of relief as I’ve heard good reviews. I phoned Matt got an appointment set up and dropped my car off. Matt and his staff looked at my car and gave me a quote and said he could get it done the next day. I gave the go ahead and they completed the work, he pointed out some issues he found while it was on the hoist which was appreciated. My car is fixed, my transmission was saved and the communication was amazing during the process. Huge shoutout to Matt and his staff for relieving some of the stress that comes with hearing “transmission work”!

Happy with the outcome! Recently my GMC Sierra developed transmission problems. Engine light on dash confirmed a transmission temp sensor failure. It also had dreaded Chevy shutter at slow speeds. Other shops wanted to charge me just to diagnose the problem. Mr. Transmission did so at no cost! Matt was great. He explained my options and didn't pressure me into the $8000 rebuild. I decided to take a chance on the less expensive option. Changing the fluid, filter and replacing the temp sensor assembly. He told me that once they started if anything major shows up he would call and we could consider the next course of action. I got lucky for now. Everything went well. The truck is running much much better. Best part the total cost spent was a little less then quoted.

I found Matt and his team about 5 years ago after researching the best transmission place in town. My experience was so good I asked if they can do other work for me and they can. They are now my #1 choice for all things auto repair. Friendly, competent, and very fairly priced, we have yet to have a bad experience. Highly recommend! Ps: just had rotors and pads all around done for $600 cheaper than the quote from the dealer (queen mary and bath) gave us when we forced to go there for some warranty work.
