Expert Repairs for Manual, Automatic & DSG Gearboxes
Gearbox issues can take many forms, and each transmission type requires a specific diagnostic approach. Whether your vehicle has a manual or automatic gearbox, our team of specialists is equipped to accurately identify the problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
For manual gearboxes, symptoms can include a grinding sound when you shift, resistance when changing gears, or a spongy clutch pedal. These issues often point to worn synchros, damaged bearings, or clutch system problems. Our technicians perform detailed mechanical inspections alongside advanced electronic diagnostics to pinpoint the fault quickly.
For automatic gearboxes, including torque converter systems, symptoms can be more subtle. You might notice delayed shifting, a dashboard warning light, or a sudden jerk during acceleration. We meticulously test the entire system, from solenoids to fluid quality, to ensure no underlying issue is missed. If you drive a modern DSG, CVT, or Powershift vehicle, rest assured that our technicians have the expertise and the right tools to perform complex repairs or full gearbox rebuilds using high-quality parts.
Every vehicle we work on undergoes a thorough inspection before we begin. No repairs are ever carried out without your full approval. You will receive a clear, detailed quote first, so you remain completely in control of the process from start to finish.
Identifying Gearbox Faults And What to Do Next
A gearbox rarely fails without warning. Most issues start with early signs that drivers often overlook, like a subtle humming or whining sound, gears that feel like they're slipping, or difficulty engaging reverse. These symptoms may seem minor, but they can quickly worsen. Other common red flags include unresponsive gear changes, transmission error codes, and a burning smell after a long journey.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s crucial to have your vehicle inspected by a specialist. Our gearbox diagnostic process is comprehensive, combining live data scans with hands-on mechanical checks. We work to provide a prompt diagnosis, and most gearbox repairs are completed efficiently, typically within 2-4 working days, depending on the complexity of the issue.

Recent Customer Reviews
I recently had my gearbox repaired and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, the communication was outstanding with my and my warranty company. Ollie kept me informed at every step of the process, which really put my mind at ease. He explained the issues with my gearbox clearly and were upfront about the repairs needed and the costs involved.
The repair itself was completed efficiently, and I noticed a real difference in the performance of my vehicle afterward. It's clear they have a lot of expertise in gearbox repairs, and their customer service made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
After reviews on other garages and being a bit concerned how will such a big repair go, I am very satisfied with the end result.
If I ever have such a problem with my car (hopefully not for a long time) I'd choose Service4Service again so I can be sure my car is looked after properly.
Work done within the set timeframe and with Ford original parts.
Finance provided without any trouble.
Total Cost, slightly lower than at Ford.
have been really pleased with the cars when delivered back to us.
It is really handy that they come and collect your car and deliver it back,
so less hassle for the customer.
Would use the service again.
But I am really sorry to say I can't honestly give you anything negative. In fact, I am extremely impressed with the whole service that you provide. Your website is good in that it is easy to use. After booking, the first contact with a 'real human' was very good. This is the moment when the customer starts to feel a little anxious about the company. (so many dodgy sites out there.) The man from the garage was very presentable, friendly and professional in his manner. Timekeeping was on the button (very rare). The cherry on the top was giving the car a clean before it came back, nice touch.
Running our own busy companies, it was ideal that the car was picked up
and brought back to the office and the service was extremely reasonably
priced. I would definitely use your service again.
