Transmission repair for Scarborough drivers

Fixing is usually cheaper when the failure is isolated — a solenoid, valve body, seal or torque converter. Replacement or rebuild wins when internal wear is widespread. We diagnose first and price both paths in writing so you can decide with real numbers, not guesses.

Minor repairs run a few hundred dollars; valve body and torque converter work sits in the $800–$2,000 range; complete rebuilds are typically $2,800–$4,500 depending on the vehicle. CVTs and European units trend higher. Every job starts with a firm written quote — never a surprise invoice.

Often yes in today's used-car market: a $3,500 rebuild on a car worth $12,000 — one you know the history of — usually beats payments on a replacement vehicle. If the car is not worth fixing, we will tell you that plainly and put it in the report.

Dealers typically replace complete units at premium prices; specialists diagnose and repair at component level. For anything out of warranty, a specialist shop generally delivers the same quality outcome for thousands less — and we document everything, which helps if you later pursue a goodwill or class-action claim.

Yes — CVTs are one of our core specialties, including the Nissan, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia and Mitsubishi units many general shops refuse. We stock manufacturer-specification CVT fluids and have the tooling and experience these units demand.
