Our Workflow

Our transmission work process combines modern diagnostics, meticulous testing, and meticulous workmanship to deliver exceptional results for our customers.

We record reported signs and run a scan to find fault codes and live sensor data. A road test is used to reproduce issues under load. We conduct fluid analysis and pressure testing to find leaks and damaged parts. If repairs are needed, an estimate is provided; otherwise, we update service records and offer maintenance advice to maximise transmission life.

  • Accurate diagnostics, utilising advanced tools, precisely identify root causes.
  • Quality parts are fitted, and repairs are completed to the highest standards set by the manufacturer.
  • Final road testing and verification confirm reliability under various driving conditions.

When to Service Your Transmission System for Longevity

Regular inspections prevent minor faults from becoming major transmission failures, saving on expensive repairs. It is recommended to schedule checks every 25,000 kilometres or to refer to the manufacturer’s user manual for guidance.

At Pickards Automotive, we perform fluid analysis, clutch assessments, and torque converter checks, offering complete rebuilds, clutch replacements, and even software recalibration with transparent estimates, clear timelines, and thorough testing.

After the repair is completed, we conduct a final test on the road, rescan the system for faults, and provide a service report with maintenance suggestions to ensure systems function reliably.
