Our gearbox services
Automatic
Whatever problems you are experiencing with your automatic gearbox, bring it to us. We can repair it, service it or recondition it, with the help of our cutting-edge diagnostic technology and extensive knowledge and experience. Whether you have a veteran model or the very latest hi-tech unit, we will be able to help. If there is a fault, we can fix it. If parts of your gearbox are suffering from wear and tear, we can replace or recondition them. Get in touch to let us know what type of car you have and if we can fix it, we will.
Classic
We don’t just repair gearboxes in modern cars – we have extensive experience in working with classic cars too. If you have a model that first took to the road several decades ago, we can help you make sure it runs like a dream again. We have a broad network of contacts and suppliers who can deliver the right parts to ensure our usual high level of service. While we are comfortable working with old cars, our insistence on staying abreast with new trends can come in handy here too. For instance, in recent years an additive was discovered that can be used in transmission fluid that helps older vehicles to function perfectly. Bring your classic gearbox to us and we will ensure your car drives as smoothly as it ever did.
DSG
Direct-Shift Gearboxes are used in many of today’s high-performance models. They use a specific, highly technical form of semi-automatic gearbox technology – and at Brands Hatch Automatics, we have the requisite level of skill to repair them. A DSG changes gears for you electronically, and one benefit is that they are more efficient than conventional automatic gearboxes. Less energy is wasted in transferring the engine’s power to the wheels. Our gearbox repair specialists have the know-how to repair and service DSGs for most major manufacturers.
Hybrid
Increasing numbers of hybrid vehicles are on the road today as the automotive industry moves towards the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Essentially, a hybrid vehicle works with two different power sources; a normal internal combustion engine and an electric motor. There are various ways in which these two sources work together in different vehicle makes and models. At Brands Hatch Automatics, we take great pride in our ability to keep pace with the innovation that is constantly at work in today’s vehicle manufacturing industry. That means that we have extensive expertise in hybrid car gearbox repair and reconditioning for a wide variety of models. Please get in touch if you need help with your hybrid – we are confident that we will have the knowledge to ensure your car runs as efficiently as you need it to.
SMG
A Sequential Manual Gearbox is capable of functioning as both an automatic and a manual transmission. It can be operated either by a traditional stick or by paddle shifters attached to the steering column. SMGs are particularly associated with BMW models – and our highly-trained team includes specialists with long experience in repairing and reconditioning such gearboxes. To do this, we use specialist diagnostic technology that will identify the cause of any problems with your SMG and tell us whether or not you require a repair, a reconditioning or even a replacement. We stock a vast selection of different parts to ensure that your car is back on the road and functioning as efficiently as possible in next to no time.
Semi-automatic
With a semi-automatic gearbox, a driver can shift gear manually without the need for a clutch pedal. This is a highly technical system using a precise combination of components. As a result, any issues with a semi-automatic gearbox requires specialist attention – and at Brands Hatch Automatics, we have just that type of expertise within our team. We can repair and recondition semi-automatic gearboxes manufactured by most major automotive brands.

"If you are looking for an excellent automatic mechanic, Mike is your man. We highly recommend Mike for his outstanding service… Our usual garage was unable to help us but Mike steppe in and saved the day (and saved us a lot of money). We are very grateful for his attention and thank him for not giving up and solving our problem. Our car is a dream to drive again – thank you.”
Rosie
“Mike was recommended to me by a friend when my the gearbox and computer on my BMW needed attention. The team were able to source the parts and carry out the repair. The professional team kept me updated with progress on my car and I got it back in great working order. I would in turn recommend Mike to others.”
