Transmission Maintenance & Service in St. Thomas, 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.

Eileen P
It’s unfortunate that we had a transmission issue with our Ford Edge with only 41,000 km and being just 7 years old, but we couldn’t be happier with the way Mr. Transmission looked after us. Mark was absolutely great to deal with, friendly, professional, honest, and kept us informed throughout the process. It made a frustrating situation so much easier. Thank you to Mark and the team at Mr. Transmission for taking such good care of us. We would definitely recommend them! Joe & Eileen

Dave In
This shop is great, they worked on my daughter's 2013 focus in 2017. When Ford would not honour their warranty. It is still going strong. I was told the transmission will out live the car. Well yes. It's time for a new veh with. Worked on my 2003 F150, great work, now my 2010, once again great work. They took time to find a miss, in the truck. I'm a car guy, and know shops that do great work. Yes everyone is never happy with the work. But for me there is always two sides.

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.
