Durham Transmission Service

Kevin is the best mechanic around! He never refuses work. Always gets it done in a timely manner and on budget. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone I know. He has been our trusted family mechanic for years.

Not sure how this place got any stars. Son in law dropped off a simple transmission for a straight forward rebuild. Got it back installed correctly, yes we've done 25+ plus re & re on many different makes/models. Didn't even make it 10kms, total failure. Failed so badly, even the case was destroyed. This is a very simple older rear wheel drive transmission, so no excuses.
The shop would not accept fault, after it was torn down by customer to find damage, and discovered catastrophic damage after "rebuild". At least it was still functioning before it was removed from vehicle, now we have to try to find a replacement core on what is now considered a classic vehicle. Very unprofessional. Next time we will take it to a local trusted rebuilder, or rebuild it ourselves. Unacceptable.

Finally!
Found a Mechanic I feel I can trust to do a great job and not rip me off in the process. Kevin was very thorough and
knowledgable, and my truck is running great.
Definately giving referrals to this Garage.

I cannot say enough good things about this transmission shop and the incredible level of service I received. The owner (Kevin) truly bent over backwards to help me out last minute with an inspection for a vehicle I was considering purchasing last fall. The vehicle that I was interested was a rarity in condition for the make and model and offered his real expertise and attention to detail while inspecting it.

His knowledge, honesty, and years of experience immediately stood out. Despite having an obviously busy schedule, he took the time to thoroughly inspect the vehicle, explain everything clearly, and provide valuable insight that helped me make a confident and well-informed decision. His expertise eliminated a tremendous amount of uncertainty and risk during the buying process.

What impressed me even more was the amount of additional help he provided throughout my vehicle search. He took the time to speak with me over the phone on multiple occasions, offering honest guidance about certain vehicles and models that would be best to avoid based on long-term reliability concerns and common issues. That advice significantly narrowed down my search and helped steer me toward the most reliable options, ultimately saving me an incredible amount of time, stress, and potential future expenses.

He also went above and beyond by offering preventative maintenance advice and tips on how to preserve the condition and longevity of my newly purchase used vehicle. That level of care and professionalism is hard to find these days and truly reflects the caliber of mechanic and person he is.

This shop absolutely deserves recognition for the way they help people in the local community without expecting anything in return. Genuine honesty, outstanding customer service, and exceptional mechanical knowledge are becoming rare qualities, and this shop delivers all three.

I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for trustworthy, experienced, and top-tier service. You can tell immediately that you’re dealing with someone who genuinely cares about helping people make the right decisions.

Kevin at Durham Transmissions is a rare find. He does exactly what needs to be done, charges a fair price, and makes sure you're completely satisfied with the work.
