Gearbox problems usually start small: a slow or rough change, a new noise, a gear that's hard to find. Left alone they get more expensive, so it's worth having them looked at early. We find the fault first, then talk you through the options, from a repair to a replacement gearbox.

Automatic gearbox oil wears out with heat and miles, much like engine oil, but it's easy to forget because it isn't part of every service. Fresh oil costs far less than the trouble worn-out oil can lead to.

Questions we get asked

Can a gearbox be repaired rather than replaced?

Often, yes. We diagnose the fault first, then give you the options and a price for each before doing anything.

Do you work on manual gearboxes too?

Yes, automatic and manual, on cars and vans.

How often should automatic gearbox oil be changed?

It depends on the make and the gearbox. Some manufacturers set an interval in the service schedule and others don't. Tell us the vehicle and we'll check what's recommended for it.
