Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How much does a typical gearbox repair cost in Birmingham?
Gearbox repair costs vary depending on the issue, typically ranging from £300 for clutch adjustments to £2,500 for complete rebuilds. You'll receive a transparent fixed-price quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprise costs. Most repairs fall between £600-£1,200, and we often save customers money through accurate diagnostics that avoid unnecessary replacements.
What are the warning signs my gearbox needs attention?
You should get your gearbox checked if you're experiencing grinding noises when changing gears, difficulty engaging gears, slipping out of gear while driving, or a burning smell. Delayed engagement in automatics, juddering clutches, or fluid leaks under your vehicle are also clear indicators. Addressing these symptoms early prevents more expensive damage and keeps you safe on Birmingham roads.
How long does a gearbox repair typically take?
Most gearbox repairs take 2-4 days depending on the complexity and parts availability. Simple clutch replacements might be completed within two days, while full gearbox rebuilds can take up to five days. We offer same-day availability for urgent diagnostics and keep you updated throughout the process, so you're never left wondering about your vehicle's status.
Can you repair automatic gearboxes as well as manual?
Yes, our fully equipped facility handles all transmission types including manual gearboxes, automatic transmissions, DSG systems, and CVT units across every vehicle make. Unlike mobile mechanics limited to basic roadside repairs, we have the specialized diagnostic equipment and expertise needed for complex automatic transmission work. We've successfully repaired over 2,849 vehicles since 2014.
Do you collect vehicles that won't go into gear?
Absolutely. Our specialized recovery trucks collect vehicles with any gearbox problem, whether stuck in gear, won't engage, or completely immobile. You don't need to risk driving with transmission issues or arrange your own recovery. We collect from anywhere in Birmingham free of charge, diagnose the problem at our workshop, and return your repaired vehicle to your doorstep.
Is it worth repairing an older gearbox or should I replace it?
This depends on your specific situation, which is why we provide honest assessments without upselling. Often, targeted repairs like replacing worn synchros or clutch components cost a fraction of full replacement and extend your vehicle's life by years. We'll explain exactly what's wrong, give you repair versus replacement options with transparent pricing, and help you make the most cost-effective decision.
What warranty do you provide on gearbox repairs?
All our gearbox repairs come with parts and labour warranties, with specific coverage depending on the components used. We use quality guaranteed parts backed by manufacturer warranties, ensuring reliability and longevity. You'll receive detailed documentation of all work completed and warranty information when we return your vehicle, giving you complete peace of mind.
Why choose a workshop over a mobile mechanic for transmission problems?
Gearbox repairs require specialized equipment, hydraulic lifts, and diagnostic tools that mobile mechanics simply don't have access to. Our fully equipped facility handles everything from clutch replacements to complete transmission rebuilds, while mobile mechanics can only manage about 10% of repairs roadside. You get proper diagnostics, quality repairs, and road testing verification that ensures the job's done right.
How often should gearbox oil be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend gearbox oil changes every 40,000-60,000 miles, though this varies by vehicle type and usage. Regular fluid changes prevent contamination that damages gears and synchronizers, maintaining smooth shifts and extending transmission life. We perform proper fluid exchanges, not quick drains, ensuring your gearbox receives complete lubrication protection.
Can clutch problems damage the actual gearbox?
Yes, ignoring clutch issues can absolutely damage your gearbox. A slipping clutch generates excessive heat that contaminates transmission fluid and damages bearings, while clutch juddering can crack gear teeth. Early clutch replacement is far more affordable than subsequent gearbox repairs. We diagnose exactly what's causing your symptoms and address issues before they escalate into expensive damage.
Do you provide same-day service for urgent gearbox issues?
We offer same-day availability for urgent diagnostics and collection when your gearbox fails unexpectedly. While complete repairs typically take 2-4 days depending on complexity, we prioritize urgent cases to minimize your inconvenience. Our family-run business understands Birmingham drivers rely on their vehicles, so we work efficiently without compromising on quality or safety standards.
What makes your transmission diagnostics more accurate than others?
Our comprehensive approach combines professional diagnostic equipment with over 10 years of hands-on experience across all vehicle types. We don't guess or automatically recommend expensive replacements. Instead, we pinpoint exact failure points whether it's clutch wear, fluid contamination, or gear synchronizer damage. This accuracy means you only pay for repairs you actually need, often saving thousands compared to other quotes.
