Expert Care For Critical Engine And Transmission Components

Your engine and transmission are the heart of your vehicle, and ignoring maintenance like timing belts can lead to instant, irreparable engine failure. Many owners put off these major services due to cost, but a snapped belt or a failed gearbox costs thousands more to fix. We perform precise, heavy mechanical work to ensure your car's longevity. Whether you need a transmission fluid change to fix rough shifting or a complete cylinder head repair, our workshop is equipped for heavy-duty tasks. We use high-quality parts and follow strict procedures to ensure every repair holds up for the long haul. Trust your major mechanical repairs to a team that stands behind their workmanship.

FAQ's

My check engine light is on. Is it safe to keep driving?

It depends on the severity of the issue, but we always recommend getting it checked immediately to avoid expensive damage. A solid warning light usually means you need to book a diagnosis soon, while a flashing light often indicates a critical fault—stop driving as soon as it is safe. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a simple sensor issue or a major mechanical fault, ensuring we only fix what is actually broken.

How often should I get my transmission serviced?

Transmission fluid degrades over time, losing its ability to lubricate gears and manage heat. While intervals vary by manufacturer, we generally recommend a transmission service every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometres, or sooner if you tow heavy loads. Regular maintenance is far cheaper than a full gearbox replacement. If you’re noticing slipping gears, delayed engagement, or strange noises, book an inspection with us today.

Do you rebuild engines or just replace them?

We handle both, depending on what is most cost-effective for you. Our skilled mechanics can perform extensive engine repairs, including head gaskets, timing belts, and internal component replacements. However, if an engine is beyond economical repair, we can source and install high-quality replacement engines. We will always walk you through the costs of repair versus replacement so you can make the right financial decision for your vehicle.

What kind of parts do you use for engine repairs?

We use high-quality, OEM-standard parts for all engine and transmission work. Using inferior parts in complex components like engines or gearboxes can lead to premature failure and void your statutory warranties. We stand behind our workmanship and the parts we install, giving you peace of mind that your vehicle is reliable and safe.

These repairs sound complex—how long will my car be off the road?

Engine and transmission repairs can take time due to their complexity, but we aim to minimize downtime. For diagnostics or standard servicing, we can often complete the work within the day. For major repairs, we’ll provide a clear timeframe upfront. Since we are located directly opposite Milton Station, you can easily drop your car off and commute to work while we handle the heavy lifting.

Tanya Dwyer

"Found myself in a pickle recently with a flat tyre. RACQ were quick to the rescue and pumped it up but told me to get it repaired asap. I wasn't near home so I did a goggle search and found Pearson automotive. I explained my situation and these guys were great. They fitted me in straight away and repairs took next to no time. Best part was the price - they didn't try to up sell or overcharge. Best service and best value I've received in years, thank you! I highly recommend them."
