Technological Diagnostics Service in St. Thomas, Ontario

Advanced Technology for Assessing Transmission Problems

At Mister Transmission we have access to leading-edge diagnostic equipment, enabling us to offer you the fastest and most accurate findings about what’s going on inside your vehicle’s transmission. Today’s vehicles come equipped with complex computer systems. Our technology can talk to your car’s computer systems to find your specific transmission problems.

The first step in assessing your transmission involves your technician connecting the diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s on-board computer. This will produce a code stating where the problem lies. Next, the vehicle is taken for a test drive so that we can monitor its behaviour in real-time. While more comprehensive and hands-on evaluations may yet be required, technology is an important tool in determining the right starting point for further investigations.

Had to get my transmission...
Aidan Hennebry
Had to get my transmission redone on my 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan at 140k clicks. Sucked. My local shop quoted me a little over $8,000 for the repair. I decided to call around. Mister Transmission gave me tons of information, answered my billion questions (even before I'd committed to becoming a customer), were prompt in getting my van dealt with, and even gave me better parts than my local shop had quoted me for... all for $6,500. How they did all of that for cheaper than my first quote I do not understand (other than the fact that: They are the only transmission shop in town, and all other shops would just bring transmission rebuilds over here). 10/10 would return to in the future (but hope not to have to). Can't recommend them enough. Mark and the gang: Thank you guys for the incredible service.

Denielle Tooley
I’m very pleased with my experience at this shop! I brought my beloved Mustang here for a transmission rebuild. They were very helpful in explaining the process to me, communicating with the warranty company on my behalf, and keeping me updated on timelines without me having to ask for updates. I was delighted to pick up my vehicle and see they had gone above and beyond by washing it and putting some gas in it! All the staff I spoke to were pleasant and easy to work with. Mark took the time to explain things to me and ensured my full understanding throughout the process. I was encouraged to come back in about a week and a half for a final check up/inspection at no cost, which makes me feel even better about their confidence in their work.
