Sanjay and his technician were great. The tech was very knowledgeable with many years of experience. He took the time to explain to me exactly what the problem was, and what needed to be done to fix it. Transmission work is typically very expensive and I felt the price for the job I was quoted was very fair. I recommend this Mr. Transmission shop.

The team went above and beyond from the moment my vehicle arrived, I worked mainly with Chris and then Ken but everyone I had contact with was amazing. They understood the vehicle and performed excellent service start to finish. I would definately recommend anyone to go Mr. Transmission in Pickering.

I went to the Mister Transmission store #160, near Dixie/hwy401, to have the transmission inspected on my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile and a sincere "how are you today". The inspection was thorough and the time was taken to explain the process and findings in detail. A report with pictures was also provided by email. Thank You to Jody, Aki, and the Technicians who took care of me!
