Automatic gearbox repair, DSG, CVT, ZF, torque converter and manual gearbox repair in Bath.
Service4Service is a Bath gearbox repair and Bath automatic gearbox repair specialist covering the BA1 and BA2 postcode area. The A4 and A36 carry constant traffic through the city, and steep hills combined with stop start driving are hard on automatic boxes. We see a wide range of vehicles across the area, from VW Group DSG boxes and CVT units to ZF automatics in BMW, Land Rover and Jaguar and torque converter autos.
Owners around Bath describe the same faults: juddering when pulling away, slipping between gears, harsh or delayed shifts, a car dropping into limp mode with a warning light and a shudder at light throttle. None of these clear up on their own. A slipping or overheating gearbox left in daily use will contaminate its own oil and damage the internals, which is why early diagnosis matters.
We are a gearbox specialist near Bath with 18 years of experience and more than 20,000 repairs completed. We fit OEM-approved parts only and back every job with a 12-month guarantee on parts and labour. If your car is not safe to drive we collect it, with nationwide recovery available.

Crunching into gear, a whine that rises with road speed and a clutch that slips or bites high. We replace worn synchros, bearings, clutches and linkages.
CVT slipping and whine
Whining, judder and slipping under acceleration on Nissan, Honda and Toyota CVT boxes. We inspect the belt or chain and pulleys and rebuild to specification.
