Transmission Servicing

We are now proudly offering automatic transmission fluid flush and exchange services. The majority of manufacturers recommend servicing automatic gearboxes every 40,000 to 60,000 miles. Classic gearbox service done by most garages that do not have this ATF Clean / Exchange machine can ONLY replace between 30%-65% of the amount of oil. We can replace 100% and you get it flushed as well.

An ATF flush and refill produces the following benefits;

  • Smoother gear change
  • Reduced transmission noise
  • Easier gear selection
  • Reduced transmission vibrations
  • Faster up-shift during acceleration
  • Much More...

Any of these symptoms below can be made better by a 100% ATF fluid flush and refill;

  • Rough gear change during acceleration
  • Slow or delayed gear shifts
  • Difficult to move from Park to Drive/Reserve
  • Noisy gear changes or loud transmission running noise
  • An increase in transmission vibrations felt inside the cabin

DSG GEARBOX

A DSG gearbox is one of the recent developments of the car industry for automatic transmission. Instead of a traditional 3 or 4-speed transmission, DSGs feature a twin-clutch design, allowing it to offer a smooth, faster and higher geared performance.

How Do I know my DSG Gearbox is failing?

In most cases the whole gearbox will never fail, instead, it will be individual parts that fail over time. You can, on average, expect your gearbox to last for 100,000 miles of use. A few signs you can look out for include noisy bearings, juddering, or the vehicle going into limp home mode - complete loss of power from the engine.

Our team is equipped with the most up-to-date software and hardware that enable them to diagnose a specific fault and problem. In turn, this will save you money as our team will put a solution in place as efficiently as possible.

Clutch repair

Clutches are the most important part of any vehicle, without them, you won't be able to engage into the correct gear for your vehicle to operate.  Due to the constant use within the engine, the clutch can get incredibly hot and become susceptible to warping and wearing.

It is recommended to be proactive if you experience any issues with your clutch. Difficulty selecting a certain gear or the 'biting point' is much higher than it used to be are problems you could experience. If you experience any of these issues, it would be a good idea to have our team check it over.

Known Common Issues

  • Warped Pilot Bearing
  • Worn Out Release Bearing
  • Brushing Issues
  • Hydraulic Failure
