Why Choose EuroMechanic for Transmission Repair Services?

Your go-to for transmission. The transmission is the mechanical component in your car that transfers power from your car’s engine to the drive axel, allowing the wheels to move your vehicle. The transmission plays a vital role in your car’s performance, so it’s important that it stays in good working condition. Without proper transmission, your car may accelerate or stall without warning, or may even stop moving completely. This could lead to serious accidents on the road for you and other drivers.

Making sure your transmission fluid is full and clean is one of the most important car safety procedures. Dirty transmission fluid can lead to acceleration problems, difficulty in switching gears, and total transmission failure in extreme cases. Transmission filters should also be inspected and replaced to avoid cracks and filter clogs.

At EuroMechanic, we offer transmission fluid draining and filling services and transmission filter replacements for both automatic and manual vehicles. Keep your car driving safely and reliably by visiting us for professional transmission maintenance and transmission repair services.

Car Maintenance Tips

Transmission Repair Services That Your Car May Need

Various issues can arise with a car’s transmission, requiring a visit to a skilled mechanic. While some transmission repairs are straightforward, others involve complex mechanical and electronic engineering. The most common types of repair work we perform include:


Transmission Fluid Change

Transmission fluid isn’t designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle. It needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Over time, heat can break down the fluid, causing discoloration and a burnt smell. If the fluid has deteriorated, it puts you at risk of internal transmission damage. Burnt fluid requires the attention of a professional mechanic.

At McDermott Motors, our trained and experienced professionals specialize in servicing transmissions for various European-made cars. We handle tasks such as inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing components like hydraulic pumps and couplings. Visit us when your transmission fluid needs to be changed.


Transmission Flush

Flushing the transmission every 30,000 miles or so is a good practice. This process involves replacing the old, dirty fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid to ensure better performance. It helps the transmission stay cool and protects against wear on gears, clutches, and bearings. Let our expert auto technicians at McDermott Motors perform a transmission flush using state-of-the-art equipment.


Transmission Replacement & Rebuilding

Depending on the issues your automobile is experiencing, it may be necessary to replace the transmission. If you have difficulty shifting gears or notice fluid leaks, the transmission may no longer function properly. Replacement is often the best solution when performance is severely compromised. The transmission will be completely removed and replaced with a brand-new one.


A transmission overhaul involves rebuilding the system piece by piece. While not all situations require such an extensive procedure, a transmission rebuild can be necessary when it’s impossible to pinpoint the problem or if the damage is extensive. If the transmission is old, our mechanics may opt to replace it with a new one rather than undertaking an overhaul.

Top Signs That It’s Time for A Transmission Repair

Without proper maintenance, transmission issues can arise, preventing it from functioning correctly. The transmission is a complex system, so if you notice any of the following signs, be sure to visit McDermott Motors in Toronto. Our skilled mechanics will focus on the issues and ensure efficient repairs.


Grinding Gears

Hearing grinding noises when shifting gears often indicates a transmission problem, such as worn gear teeth. If the issue isn’t severe, it may simply mean that the transmission fluid is low.


Burning Smell

An intense burning smell in your car can be a sign of overheated transmission fluid. This is especially important to note if you drive a manual transmission vehicle.


Transmission Fluid Leaks

If you notice red fluid dripping from your car, it’s likely transmission fluid. Leaks not only create stains on your driveway but can also lead to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. If your car’s transmission is failing or has stopped working altogether, it’s crucial to find a reliable mechanic. Trust McDermott Motors with the repair and maintenance of your vehicle.
