Your transmission is one of the most complex - and expensive - parts of your vehicle. Whether it's a traditional automatic, a manual gearbox, or one of the newer CVT (continuously variable) transmissions found in many modern Japanese cars, keeping the fluid fresh and the components in good shape saves you from the kind of repair bill that ruins your week.
A transmission replacement is one of the most costly repairs a vehicle can need, so preventive maintenance is genuinely worthwhile. We've saved plenty of cars from the scrapheap by catching transmission issues early. Here at our Glen Innes workshop, we service transmissions across the full range of makes - from the DSG gearboxes in Volkswagens and Audis to the CVTs in Subarus and Nissans.

How It Works
Start by telling us what symptoms you're noticing - rough shifts, slipping, delays, noises, or warning lights. We'll road-test the vehicle, check fluid condition and level, and run a diagnostic scan of the transmission control module.
Based on what we find, we'll recommend the appropriate service - whether that's a straightforward fluid change, a filter replacement, or more involved repair work. For routine transmission servicing, the job is usually completed within half a day.
Pricing Guide
Transmission service costs vary depending on the type of transmission, the fluid required, and the extent of work needed. CVT, automatic, and manual gearboxes each have different service requirements and pricing.
Clutch replacements vary significantly by vehicle - dual-mass flywheel vehicles like many modern VWs and BMWs tend to be at the higher end. We always provide a clear quote before we start. Contact us with your vehicle details for accurate pricing.
Why Choose Eastern Bays
We've built a reputation for honest transmission diagnostics. Other shops told one of our customers to scrap their Volvo due to transmission issues - we fixed it economically and they're still driving it today.
We understand that automatic and CVT transmissions each have their own quirks and service requirements. For example, Subaru CVTs need specific fluid, and VW DSG gearboxes have a strict service interval that many owners overlook. We'll always look for the practical, cost-effective solution first - and if a transmission is genuinely beyond economical repair, we'll tell you that too rather than stringing you along.
While you're here, we can also take care of diagnostic scan, full service and coolant flush - everything under one roof at our Glen Innes workshop.
