FAQ
We offer straightforward and comprehensive responses to the most frequently asked questions about our gearbox solutions.
Call UsWe work on all major types of automatic transmissions, including DSG, DCT, CVT, ZF, Powershift, and more. Whether it's an Audi with DSG, a Mercedes with 7G-DCT, a Ford Powershift, or a BMW with a ZF gearbox, our gearbox specialists have the expertise and dealer-level diagnostics to handle it.
No — we offer a fully managed nationwide collection and delivery service. Our team will arrange a convenient time to collect your vehicle, complete the repair with our gearbox specialists, and return it directly to your door. You'll receive regular updates throughout the process.
Our primary specialisation is automatic transmissions, however we do assess manual gearbox issues on a case-by-case basis. Contact our team to discuss your specific vehicle and we'll advise whether we can help.
We recommend an automatic gearbox service every 30,000–40,000 miles or every 3–4 years, whichever comes first. Regular servicing — including fluid changes and filter replacements — is the single most effective way to prevent costly faults and extend your gearbox's life.
We strongly advise against it. Continuing to drive with a faulty gearbox risks accelerating internal damage, potentially turning a manageable repair into a complete rebuild. If you notice slipping, jerking, warning lights, or unusual noises, contact us immediately and consider arranging collection.
Replacement involves fitting a new or second-hand gearbox unit, which can be costly and doesn't guarantee the replacement unit is fault-free. Reconditioning means our gearbox specialists completely dismantle your existing gearbox, replace every worn component, and reassemble it to manufacturer standards — often at a significantly lower cost and backed by our Guru Guarantee.
Common signs include: delayed or rough gear changes, slipping between gears, warning lights on your dashboard, unusual noises when changing gear, or fluid leaks beneath your vehicle. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend booking a diagnostic assessment as early as possible.
Most reconditioning jobs are completed within 5–10 working days, depending on the complexity of the repair and parts availability. We'll provide you with a clear estimate at the diagnostic stage and keep you updated throughout.
Costs vary depending on the vehicle, gearbox type, and extent of the fault. We quote full reconditioning case by case, and we always provide a detailed quote before any work begins.
In most cases, yes. Reconditioning restores your original gearbox to manufacturer standards using quality OEM or equivalent parts, and is typically more cost-effective than a new replacement unit. It also comes with our minimum 12-month Guru Guarantee, giving you full peace of mind.
The best prevention is regular servicing — ensuring your transmission fluid is changed at the recommended intervals. Avoid aggressive driving habits such as holding the car on a hill using drive, and if you notice any early warning signs, don't delay seeking a diagnosis. Early intervention almost always means a simpler, cheaper repair.

Had a really great experience with these guys. Ross's technical knowledge shines through. It turns out the problem was coming from the ABS module and not the gearbox. They wouldn't accept any payment. Honest mechanics would use again.
