BOOK APPOINTMENTTransmission trouble is the repair drivers dread most — mostly because they’ve heard the horror stories about the bill. Here’s how we work: we diagnose first, tell you exactly what’s wrong, and quote the price before anything gets touched. Sometimes it’s a fluid service. Sometimes it’s a sensor or a solenoid. It isn’t always the worst-case scenario, and you shouldn’t be sold the worst-case repair until someone has actually looked.
Best Deals Auto has been on Brydon Drive in Etobicoke for over 24 years, with licensed mechanics, a 1-year warranty on most repairs, and Fix Now, Pay Later financing if the timing is difficult.
Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention
Transmissions usually warn you before they fail. Bring it in if you notice:
- Slipping between gears — the engine revs but the car doesn’t pull the way it should
- Delayed or harsh shifting — a pause before it engages, or a hard clunk when it does
- Difficulty getting into gear, or a clutch pedal that feels wrong on a manual
- Whining, humming or grinding that changes with speed
- A burning smell — often overheated transmission fluid
- Red fluid on the driveway — transmission fluid is distinctly red, unlike oil
- A transmission or check engine light
Slipping in particular tends to get worse, and waiting is what turns a moderate repair into a major one.

- Transmission fluid and filter service — old, burnt fluid is behind a surprising share of shifting complaints
- Automatic transmission repair — sensors, solenoids, seals, leaks and linkage
- Manual transmission and clutch work
- Leak diagnosis and repair
Transmission Fluid Service — the Cheap Repair Nobody Books
Transmission fluid degrades with heat, and heat is exactly what stop-and-go driving around Etobicoke, Rexdale and the 401/427 produces. Many manufacturers recommend service somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 km, sooner if you tow or drive hard.
It’s the least glamorous item on this page and the one most likely to save you money. We check the fluid’s colour and condition and tell you honestly whether it needs doing — or whether you’ve got another year in it.
What Transmission Repair Costs
It depends entirely on what’s wrong, which is why we won’t quote a number over the phone before we’ve seen the car. A fluid and filter service is a fraction of the cost of internal work. What we will promise is that you’ll see the diagnosis, get a written quote, and approve the price before we start — and if a repair can safely wait, we’ll tell you that too.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a failing transmission?
Common signs include slipping between gears, delayed or harsh shifting, a burning smell, whining or humming noises, difficulty getting into gear, red fluid leaking under the car, or a transmission warning light.How often should transmission fluid be changed?
It varies by vehicle and driving conditions, but many manufacturers recommend service somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 km. Stop-and-go city driving and towing shorten that interval. We check your fluid condition and tell you honestly whether it needs doing.
How much does transmission repair cost?
It depends entirely on what is wrong. A fluid and filter service costs far less than an internal repair, which is why we diagnose first and give you a written quote before any work starts. You approve the price before we begin.
Is it safe to drive with a slipping transmission?
Do you service automatic and manual transmissions?
Yes. We diagnose and service both automatic and manual transmissions on domestic, import and European vehicles.
