What we mean by repair

Three decades of experience, applied one transmission at a time.

A modern automatic transmission is one of the most complicated components in any car — a system of hydraulics, planetary gearsets and computer-controlled solenoids working in tight tolerance with each other. When something goes wrong, the symptoms (a slip, a flare, a harsh shift) rarely point to a single cause.

Our work begins with diagnosis, not disassembly. We confirm what’s actually failing before any part is ordered or any case is split. Once we know, you get a clear written quote — whether the right answer is a service, a partial repair, or a full rebuild.

What we work on

Every transmission type. Every make on the road.

Sedans, SUVs, 4WDs, family cars, fleet vehicles and performance builds — if it has an automatic gearbox, we’ve almost certainly seen one before.

Conventional automatics

Planetary gear sets and torque converters from 3-speed classics to modern 8, 9 and 10-speed units.

CVT systems

Belt and chain-driven continuously variable transmissions — properly diagnosed, properly rebuilt.

Dual-clutch units

DCT and DSG gearboxes from European and Japanese manufacturers, including mechatronic and clutch-pack work.

Transaxles & FWD

Front-wheel-drive units that combine transmission and final drive in a single case — dismantled, repaired and resealed cleanly.

4WD & SUV gearboxes

Heavy-duty rebuilds for off-roaders and SUVs that work for a living — suited to hot-climate, dust and load conditions.

Performance & fleet

Reinforced builds for high-output engines, plus consistent fleet-spec rebuilds for taxis, vans and commercial vehicles.

Built for UAE conditions

A gearbox here works harder than the manual ever planned for.

Heat, stop-start traffic, sand, heavy loads and long highway runs at speed — manufacturers call this “severe duty,” and most cars in the Emirates spend their lives in it. We build with that in mind.

  • Auxiliary cooling on request

    External transmission coolers and upgraded lines for vehicles that tow, haul or sit in summer traffic.

  • Valve body upgrades

    Where it makes sense — valve body kits and updated solenoid packs to fix shifting issues at the source.

  • Heat-tolerant builds

    Upgraded clutch friction materials and seal compounds rated for sustained high-temperature operation.

  • Updated component designs

    Where the manufacturer has revised a part to address a known weakness, that revision goes into your rebuild — not the original.

The repair process

From rough shift to road-ready, in four clear stages.

Most diagnoses are done the same day. Rebuild times depend on parts and complexity, but you’ll have a realistic timeline before any work begins.

01

Diagnose

Stationary check, road test under load, full electronic scan and live-data review. We confirm what’s actually wrong before quoting a single part.

02

Quote

A clear written estimate covering parts, labour and timeline. You decide before any work begins — and if the right answer is a service rather than a rebuild, we’ll say so.

03

Rebuild

Removal, dismantle, clean, inspect, machine where needed, reassemble with OEM and updated parts. Each build is documented, with torque values and replaced components on paper.

04

Test & deliver

Final road test under load, electronic verification, and our written workshop warranty handed over with the keys. You drive away with peace of mind.

Every repair includes

No surprises — what you get, every time.

  • Free initial diagnosis Stationary, road and electronic. No charge if no work is needed.
  • Written, plain-language quote Parts and labour itemised before approval. No surprise additions.
  • OEM & updated parts Manufacturer-spec components, with revised parts where they exist.
  • Workshop-backed warranty Written warranty on parts and labour, handed over on collection.
  • Final road test Verified under load and at temperature before handover.
  • One point of contact Same technician from diagnosis to delivery — no relayed messages.
Free diagnosis

Bring it in. We’ll tell you what it actually needs.

Same-day diagnosis on most vehicles, with a written quote in plain language. If a service is enough, that’s what we’ll quote — we don’t sell rebuilds you don’t need.
