Looking after it
Transmission Maintenance Tips
Ten things worth doing between services, whoever carries them out.
- Check transmission fluid regularly: it maintains smooth gear operation.
- Use recommended fluids only: they protect internal transmission components.
- Avoid sudden gear shifts: they put stress on gears and clutches.
- Service the transmission on time: it prevents major mechanical failures.
- Watch for fluid leaks: early action avoids internal damage.
- Listen for gear noises: grinding sounds indicate problems.
- Avoid overloading your car: excess load strains the gearbox.
- Warm up before driving: it helps the fluid circulate properly.
- Drive smoothly: it reduces wear on transmission parts.
- Schedule regular inspections: they are what keeps it reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Gearbox and Transmission Repair Include?
Inspection, diagnostics, part repair or replacement, and fluid service. This restores smooth gear operation, and it also improves driving comfort and transmission lifespan.
When Should a Transmission Be Repaired?
As soon as you notice slipping gears, delays or strange noises. Early repair prevents complete failure, and ignoring those signs leads to a costly gearbox replacement.
How Often Should I Service My Transmission?
Every 40,000 to 60,000 km, depending on driving style and vehicle type. Regular servicing prevents overheating and internal damage.
How Long Does Transmission Repair Take?
Minor repairs take a few hours. Major repairs may take one to two days depending on the model, and we keep you informed about the timeline throughout.
Can I Drive If the Transmission Is Making a Strange Noise?
It is not advisable. Strange noises can indicate a serious problem, so have the vehicle inspected immediately rather than driving on and making it worse.
Can Transmission Problems Affect Other Parts of My Vehicle?
Yes. Rough shifting, misalignment and excessive vibration put strain on engine mounts, which then wear out or fail early. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs prevent that.
How Can I Prevent Transmission Problems in a High-Performance Car?
Regular maintenance, the correct transmission fluid, avoiding aggressive driving, and professional inspections at the right intervals.
Is Your Transmission Repair Workshop Different from Others?
We use advanced diagnostics and follow manufacturer repair standards for every car brand, which is what makes the repair accurate and the result last.
Do You Provide Luxury Car Transmission Services?
Yes. We handle luxury and high-performance cars with brand-specific care, from sports cars and luxury sedans to supercars, and all repairs follow manufacturer guidelines.
Do You Use Genuine Parts for Replacements?
Parts are sourced to match factory specification for fit and material, with genuine parts available on request. Sourcing is confirmed with you before the work starts.

Yes. Free pickup and drop off is available by driver, on an active service contract, anywhere in Abu Dhabi.
