From initial diagnostics through to repair, rebuild, or replacement, all work is carried out in-house by experienced technicians using modern diagnostic equipment and OEM-quality components.

Automatic Transmission Diagnostics

Accurate fault finding using advanced diagnostic equipment

Transmission issues can stem from both electronic and mechanical faults. We use multiple state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, updated regularly, to accurately identify problems before any work begins.

What we diagnose:

  • Transmission ECU / TCU faults

  • Engine management issues

  • ABS and drivetrain-related errors

✔ Clear fault identification
✔ No guesswork
✔ Honest advice before any repair

Automatic Gearbox Servicing

Preventative maintenance to protect performance and longevity

Regular servicing plays a vital role in maintaining the health of an automatic gearbox. Over time, transmission fluid degrades, filters can become restricted, and wear particles can circulate within the system — all of which can lead to poor shifting, overheating, or premature failure if left unchecked.

At Wimbledon Automatics, we carry out professional automatic gearbox servicing in line with manufacturer guidance and gearbox-specific requirements. Where appropriate, this includes fluid replacement, filter changes, system checks, and adaptation resets using specialist diagnostic equipment.

Our servicing approach includes:

  • Gearbox fluid inspection and replacement (where suitable)

  • Filter and sump service (gearbox dependent)

  • Diagnostic checks and software resets

  • Advice based on mileage, usage, and manufacturer recommendations

✔ Helps extend gearbox life
✔ Improves shift quality and performance
✔ Honest advice — servicing only where appropriate

If you’re unsure whether your gearbox is due for servicing, contact us with your vehicle details and we’ll be happy to advise.

Automatic Gearbox Repair

Targeted repairs where replacement isn’t necessary

Many automatic transmission issues can be repaired without replacing the entire gearbox. Once a fault is diagnosed, we’ll explain whether a repair is viable and advise on the most cost-effective solution.

Our repair work includes:

  • Electrical and hydraulic fault resolution

  • Fluid-related and shifting issues

✔ In-house repairs
✔ OEM genuine parts only
✔ Clear explanation of work required

You’ll always have the choice to:

  • Repair the existing gearbox (where possible), or

  • Replace it with a reconditioned unit

✔ High-quality rebuilds
✔ Built by experienced technicians
✔ No outsourced work

Gearbox Replacement & Fitting

Professional supply and installation

We supply and fit reconditioned automatic gearboxes when replacement is the most reliable option. All fitting is carried out by technicians with hands-on transmission experience.

✔ Correct installation first time
✔ Fully tested before handover
✔ Warranty-backed peace of mind

Warranty & Ongoing Support

I put my BMW645CI into Wimbledon Automatics when my gearbox wouldn’t get out of 2nd gear. It needed a total going over. They stripped it down and put it back together and it is like a brand new car. I had spent a lot of money on this car prior to this problem, engine, paintwork, wheels and leather and now it is purring and running like a dream. I took it back to have it checked over all included in the price by the way and there are no problems at all. The guys here are all a friendly and very helpful, explaining everything they had done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you for a very thorough service.
Kind regards

The gearbox failed on my Chrysler Grand Voyager when I needed a seven seater car to travel to a family funeral. They did not promise they could repair the gearbox in time, however they worked late in the evening and started early the next day and returned the car repaired within 48 hours. Friendly, efficient and nice people to do business with.

Ken and Delroy were very professional and clear about how they would proceed, investigate the reason for the leak, give me a price, do the work on my Mercedes C class Sport. That is just what they did, could not have asked for more, they showed me where the leak was, told me the parts and labour cost and did the work there and then.

Polite, honest, quick and the automatic runs perfect now. Thanks guys, will recommend you to everyone. They even topped up my water and oil. Fantastic!

I used these guys on a complete off chance, I was having problems on the A3 and felt like car was losing power. I called them and explained the problem, he said maybe your gearbox but bring it along and I’ll scan it check it safe to drive, I was really worried with the kids in the car, Delroy was great. Scan for any problems then done the same a few days later before advising me on what to do. I felt in really safe hands with him. Very honest and down to earth, these guys are all about safety and not out for what they can get, which is what I’ve had in the past, will defo be using them in the future.
