biggsy   10 #3 Posted February 1, 2011 Years ago i had my son's auto box repaired in Doncaster as he quoted slightly over half of what i was quoted by the Sheffield repairers:mad:  It cost slightly over £500 whereas i was quoted over £900 by them here, i even took the gearbox to a place on Corperation street, i told the bloke that i had left the torque converter on so that the oil didn't drain everywhere, the dopey sod picked it up, the t/c fell off and Dexron went everywhere, he hadn't got a clue so i took it away (turns out that he just gets someone to collect it and charges a bundle to do so )  Mister gearbox at Trent street (dahn t'cliffe) did a superb job on my daughter in law's VW Golf when the gearbo kept crunching, it came guaranteed though i can't remember how long for..

newstar   10 #5 Posted February 2, 2011 M&T bradway rd next to the pub   I was speaking to someone at M&T recently and they said they didn't do automatic work anymore and they said they refer their auto work to Martin Lowe in Barnsley.  http://www.autotransmissions.co.uk/  I would also suggest asking the Honda dealer for advice or pick up a second hand one which is mentioned in one of the posts above.  Repairs to auto boxes is not cheap.

walkertelecoms   16 #12 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Just spoke to Mister Gearbox (Chris) about some work I need carrying out. Compared to others I spoke to today; On first appraisal I'd say he really knows his stuff and more than willing to run through scenarios and possible solutions for the issues I described. The garage is also chock solid for the following week, which is a good indicator from experience. Off to see him this afternoon!
