I wish I could put...
Heather Hunter
I wish I could put 10/10 stars. This place is excellent and I highly recommend them. I was having issues with my vehicle lagging on hills and on start off. I believed it may have been an exhaust issue which could have been costly. Joe, the front manager, is an awesome individual. Friendly and informative. One of his workers took the vehicle for a drive and came back with a diagnosis. The air filter box had not been closed properly, affecting the car's ability to receive enough air. It was fixed free of charge. Wow!! Any other mechanic would have charged me for the correction of the box. To future customers. You will not be disappointed. Keep up the awesome customer service Mister Transmission!!!

My vehicle totally shut down...
Arlene Peever
My vehicle totally shut down on Hwy 115 and the only display message was service transmission so I had it towed to Mr Transmission in Peterborough. Turns out that it was not the transmission after being on the diagnostic machine for hours but electrical. Joe then had it towed to the GMC dealership in Lindsay where they determined it to be the fuse block and electrical module. Fixed and then brought back to Peterborough. Definitely went above and beyond for me. Would highly recommend. Sincerely, Arlene

Now I would like to recommend them to the strangers of Google. Do yourself a favour and come here. Brad has eloquently frankensteined my car that would’ve been put down a while ago without him.

Randy G
I’ve been to Mister Transmission in Peterborough twice. The first time I had my trucks transmission, torque converter and differential fluids changed. The second time I was looking for a transmission part for an old vehicle. Both times the service was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The price for the fluid change was great, they refused to take anything for the transmission part. Thank you
