Transmission Maintenance & Service in Kanata, 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.

Audie D
On June 30th 2025 I was having such a horrible day. My boyfriend changed my transmission oil a few days prior. When I would reverse my car everything would shut off. 10 minutes to get out of a driveway is insane. The 30th of June i called Mister Transmission and Rob picked up and said I could drop my car off and he’d look into it. Rob and the man working with him were truly amazing. From the moment I walked into the building I was greeted. He didn’t try to con me as I am a female. Rob has a pure heart of gold. When my car was there it didn’t do any of the shutting off and they did every diagnosis test. I was beyond anxious and having a bad day Rob really calmed down and lightened the mood. Thank you Rob

Extremely professional, honest and very friendly. Initially I thought I had an oil leak in my transmission and left my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe XL for a few hours to be inspected. They found out that although it looks like a transmission oil leak, in fact, it was the engine oil pressure switch issue. They could've charged me $200 just to look. They didn't charge me a dime and recommended reliable general mechanics in town. The Best service!

5 Stars – Outstanding Service and DedicationI have nothing but great things to say about the staff at Mister Transmission. I originally brought my car to a local shop, where they noticed a transmission leak that they believed was due to a crack in the casing. I took the car to Mister Transmission for further inspection.Although the source of the leak wasn’t immediately obvious, the team at Mister Transmission didn’t give up. They were determined to find the issue, and after four thorough attempts, they finally discovered that one of the plugs wasn’t seated properly.Their persistence and commitment to solving the problem really impressed me. I’m extremely thankful for their hard work and dedication to getting my car back in shape. Highly recommended!Lise G.

Fabien Rousselot
My transmission completely died in Kanata in 2022 and I went to the closest transmission shop I could find and I am glad it was Mister Transmission! Changing the whole transmission was costly but necessary on my old 89 Camper Van. The staff was really kind and knowledgeable. After 2 years I had a new small issue (van could not reverse) and they were nice enough to inspect it for me and do a repair at no cost even if the warranty was done. I highly recommend this garage!
