Automatic Transmissions R Us are Perth’s leading independent automatic transmission specialist. In our 20 years of operation, we have developed a positive reputation within Western Australia for our ability to consistently resolve transmission problems and deliver a high-quality end product at a cost-effective price.

Your vehicle’s automatic transmission is a highly sophisticated piece of engineering. An automatic transmission is one of the most important parts of a car’s performance as it is responsible for sending power to the wheels.

Since the transmission is under constant subjection to high temperatures and friction, wear and tear occurs faster in a transmission than in any other car part. If not regularly maintained, an automatic transmission can lead to costly repairs and car failure down the track.

Given the complexity of automatic transmissions and the potential repair cost, it makes sense to uncover any possible problems before they can cause any damage. A regular auto transmission service will extend the life of your vehicle and will save you time and money in the long run. We recommend automatic transmission services every 12 months or every 20,000km.

At our workshop located in Balcatta, our team of highly experienced transmission experts utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to identify issues, service, repair, and rebuild.

Our team of transmission specialists will work with you to find the most cost-effective and reliable solution for your vehicle. No matter the make or model, Auto Transmissions R Us are Perth’s leading specialist in repairing and servicing car transmissions, differentials, torque converters and power steering systems. You can trust that we will get you back on the road, fast.

      I must say, I’m not one to often leave reviews, especially when it comes to services like this. However I was really pleasantly surprised with the service here. I’m quite new to the Perth area and had a whining issue with my 2010 rav4, so did some digging for transmission shops around the area, the review of this one definitely stood out and they didn’t disappoint! I went to the Toyota dealership to get the same issue looked at and they just took my 250$ and told me to completely change the Trans and Front diff and quoted me 20k. I came here for a second opinion. I got a call back from cam, who told me after looking at the car it is indeed noisy but it isn’t something that actually deteriorates the life of the car. He proceeded to tell me he has dealt with a lot of the callbacks for this exact model and problem. He told me if I could live with the noise and couldn’t afford a repair he’d recommend I just drive with it. He told me if you put the noisy piece next to one that isn’t noisy you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference. I really really appreciated the transparency and honesty here, he didn’t try and upsell me or quote me an expensive repair, he just gave me the god honest truth (you can drive with it, if you want the noise gone only way to fix it is to replace it). If there is any other issues with my car at all I’ll be sure to come back here as I was truly impressed by the transparency and quality of service. Many many thanks to the team and especially cam! Bloody legend!

    The team at Automatic Transmissions R US were fantastic. Their service was excellent. Pam and the team made the process easy, especially as I was transporting my vehicle by courier. They were able to book my car in for as soon as I could get it delivered. The service team did great work inspecting and then completing the repairs. They kept in contact with any updates and were fast, reliable and reasonably priced.
Thank you Automatic Transmissions R US

    I booked the vehicle in for a noise I thought was coming from the gearbox. Graham inspected the vehicle and found it was not a gearbox issue. Graham pointed out other possible faults that could result in the problem i was experiencing. I felt reassured and can highly recommend this repairer who didn't charge me for the diagnosis. Thanks to Cameron and the team at Automatic Transmission R Us a job well done.

    Trailblazer/ Colorado TC shudder
Had to fight with Holden for many years for a repair for the TC shudder, offered a band aid fix from Holden that failed on two previous occasions.
The team at Transmissions R us were completely honest, as a mechanic in a previous life the explanation of the common problem made sense. (Phoenix Holden constantly denied this issue)
Had the  Transmission  repaired and drove like new, I literally drove the vehicle across Australia towing a boat. After 10 months noticed some slight leaking of ATF on the bell housing. The team repaired the leak that included removal of the Transmission without question.Highly recommend this business.

    Took my car in recently on short notice when I was informed of a auto trans issue from my normal mechanic. I was met with exceptional customer service and expertise which lead to a quick diagnosis to confirm my true issue which was a crappy ac compressor making the noise.

Will definitely be returning to these guys in the future for any auto trans work.
