What’s included in a diff rebuild at Auto Trans R US

When you bring in your car for a differential repair, we will first inspect your vehicle to ensure it is the differential causing your vehicle issues. We will then disassemble your differential and inspect surrounding components to see if they are also damaged.

Following the initial inspection, we will clean all components and repair the damaged differential. However, depending on the extent of the damage, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective solution for the long term. If this is the case, we will consult you on your options before proceeding.

Once the differential repair is complete and we have resembled all components of your vehicle, we will inform you if a follow-up service or future maintenance will be required.

    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.

    I really have to commend Cam and the team. We had presented a challenging scenario for a transmission rebuild, with added insurance dramas. The quality of work, communication and above all honesty was excellent (and unfortunately rarely experienced in other tradey dealings who to try pull the wool over punters eyes – he is no BS - a true professional who takes pride in his craft). We had a subsequent issue that they readily fixed without contension, and spent a lot of time testing and testing to give us the confidence that it would not reoccur. They stand behind the quality of their work.  I never do online reviews, but felt compelled to highly recommend these guys.

Why would I need a differential rebuild?

Moreover, a car differential allows the wheels to spin at different speeds, so your car can perform tight turns around corners without causing excessive wear on tyres.

If your differential has become damaged, your car can develop further issues throughout the vehicle’s steering system and become a hazard on the road.
