Christchurch's Automatic Transmission Specialists

Specialists, not generalists

For over 40 years, Auto Transmissions has been helping South Island motorists and workshops solve complex automatic transmission problems. Our technicians specialise exclusively in automatic transmissions, continually updating their knowledge as vehicle technology evolves - from older hydraulic autos to today's CVTs, dual-clutch units and hybrids.

That focus is the whole point. A general garage sees a transmission fault occasionally; we see them every day. It means we can diagnose accurately, repair efficiently, and rebuild to a standard that lasts - and it is why other workshops send us the jobs they would rather not tackle themselves.

Honest advice, quality workmanship

Whether you are a private owner, a workshop or a fleet operator, we are committed to providing honest advice, quality workmanship and dependable repairs. We tell you what your vehicle actually needs, quote it clearly, and never start work without your approval. Our workmanship is warranty-backed, we use quality parts and proven repair methods, and we back it all with the diagnostic equipment to get the answer right the first time.

Trusted across the South Island

Based at 133 Antigua Street in Addington, Christchurch, and led by owner Pete Hayes, Auto Transmissions serves private motorists, workshops and commercial fleets throughout Christchurch, Canterbury and the wider South Island. We are a member of the Capricorn automotive trade cooperative, and our reputation has been built one repair at a time, on work that holds up. If you have a transmission problem, or you have been told your gearbox is beyond help, talk to us first.
