Transmission Repair near North Andover, MA

“We had just gotten into town from Ohio for a camping trip, and shortly before reaching campground the front caliper on our 2010 cadillac escalade started locking up, once we set up i looked for a shop and found c&c auto clinic and talked to them and they got me in the first thing next day, was not expecting that. Called with possible problem with brakes but was not pushing unnecessary work, recommended an issue with one tie rod and i agreed it was bad,car was ready mid day. Thanks again”

“I’ve been bringing my car to Kinsman Auto for years, and I can’t recommend them enough. The entire team is honest, knowledgeable, and always takes great care of me and my car. Whether it’s routine maintenance or an unexpected repair, I know I can trust them to explain everything clearly and do quality work without ever making me feel pressured.
Customer service is consistently excellent, and everyone is friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about their customers. I bring my car in pretty regularly, and every experience has been smooth and stress-free. It’s hard to find an auto shop you can truly trust, and Kinsman Auto has earned my loyalty over the years. Highly recommend!”

“Had a screw in my tire that was leaking pretty quick. Edwin was able to get me in immediately, plugged it and topped off the rest of my tires in about 10 minutes. Very reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Thank you!!”

“Honestly the best machanics . I went here when I lived in NH, my dad went here, my mom, my best friend and his whole family. They're honest, reliable and overall lovely people. They helped me out so many times, I wish I didn't have to move 6 hours away, it's so hard to find a reliable mechanic that won't screw you over. Thank you guys for everything you did. It's been 2 years since I lived in NH but I just had to write a good review.”

“Took my Corvette to Herb Chambers 3 times for the engine misfiring..After the 3rd visit they told me it was the transmission and to take it to a transmission mechanic in Wakefield. Within 1 hr the transmission place told me it was fine. Took it to essex County auto repair. They did a tune up in one day. Car runs like new and they did it at a excellent price. The dealership should be embarrassed,they couldn't fix the car. They had it for 3 weeks.. can't say enough about essex, thank u for fixing my car.”

“They did the suspension, brakes and an oil change on my Land Rover. They did an excellent job, at a great price and finished the work when the said they would. Great shop. Highly recommended.”

“Luis helped me out a lot and found me the perfect car and got me a really nice car payment for each month I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a vehicle”

“Absolutely top notch place, my alternator went out on me and they got me in right away and did it super quickly right before the weekend. Vincent was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with!”

“My car 10 year old started to suddenly make a loud noise like rocks rolling around under the car somewhere. I checked the tools that came with the car and the spare tire thinking that something had come loose. After three days I decided to look for a mechanic on Yelp. This shop had the best ratings, and, deservedly so. I dropped the car off in the afternoon, received a comprehensive computerized analysis of current and potential problems. The shocks and struts in the rear of the car were replaced by early the following afternoon. Totally professional and super friendly!”

“I went in just to have a diagnostic run on my car as I felt I might have a faulty transmission. The two gentlemen I worked with were very professional and, even after I told them I would eventually be taking the car to my regular mechanic, went out of their way to point out a separate issue.”

“Reggie is the absolute best! I won't ever go anywhere else. Have been ripped off in this area, and Reggie is so thorough, a perfectionist and HONEST, he takes the time to do what others don't and explains everything in a manner that doesn't overwhelm you. The peace of mind knowing I'm safe is priceless. THANK YOU!”

“When the transmission in my truck failed, I contacted multiple shops to compare pricing, turnaround time, warranty coverage, and overall approach. After speaking with several places, I chose Automated Transmission — specifically after multiple in-depth conversations with the owner, Steve.

I ask a lot of technical questions before committing to any major repair. We discussed failure symptoms, rebuild options, internal component upgrades, tuning, and warranty terms. Steve took the time to clearly explain their diagnostic process, what components would changed, how they address common failure points in these units, and how their tune supports shift timing and line pressure. Nothing felt rushed or vague. His knowledge of transmission systems, drivability, and long-term reliability was obvious.

Their pricing was higher than some competitors, but the difference was justified. The build includes a tune, comes with a solid warranty, and most importantly reflects the experience and quality control they bring to the table. In my opinion, that matters more than saving a few dollars upfront on something as critical as a transmission.

I picked the truck up on February 26th, and the difference is immediately noticeable. Shift points are crisp and controlled, no hesitation or flare between gears, no delayed engagement, and no harsh clunking under load. Power delivery feels consistent and responsive. It drives tight and refined — the way a properly built and calibrated transmission should.

Another detail that impressed me: prior to bringing the truck in, I had an exhaust rattle that I knew was likely caused by a loose clamp. I never mentioned it. They identified and corrected it during their inspection. That tells me they’re not just swapping parts — they’re thoroughly checking the vehicle and paying attention to overall drivability and quality.

It’s still early, and I’ll update after putting more miles on it, but first impressions are excellent. If you’re looking for a shop that understands transmissions at a technical level and stands behind their work, this is one I’d confidently recommend to friends and family.

Transmission specialists, no question.

“These guys are the best! Super honest and knowledgeable . They have helped me out with two different vehicles and I am so impressed by their integrity, and commitment to costumer service!”

“We had an excellent experience at Wilmington Auto Repair and Transmission Center. Russ, Trevor and their team are knowledgeable, professional and honest. Due a broken timing chain our car needed a new engine. We had many questions, many concerns. Russ listened, took the time to explain the situation and helped us understand all that was involved. He gave us options. We were never pressured. He advised us to think it over and get back to him. We immediately felt these guys were trustworthy. They seemed to genuinely care. We are happy with the work they performed, they were extremely thorough and dependable. We are thankful we made the decision to stop at Wilmington Auto Repair and will continue to use their services. We highly recommend them.”

“I had a decent experience at the auto repair shop. They were friendly and fixed my car quickly, but the pricing felt a bit steep for what I got. Overall, not bad if you're in a pinch!”

“OH MY GOD !!! I am so thankful that i found this garage !!! I am a single income family and I am on disability and I work just part-time to supplement my income and I've needed work done to my 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee for a while now and I have been looking around to try to find someone who would give me a decent price for the work that just needs to be done to my jeep now the only thing I need at the moment is back brakes. My rotors are fine. My calipers are fine. I just need the pads done so I have been looking in the area as I live in Amesbury and I've been getting quotes from garages that want $560 per axle just to do brake pads. !!!!!????????? There is no way in hell that I can afford to pay that on my income so I was hunting around and I just happen to stop into this garage one day and I think it's a family run business and oh my God finally, I have found a reasonable priced garage somebody that could do a job for me where I don't have to go open up an OF page just to supply my garage bill I'm going to make an appointment very soon and they are going to get my business from now on so I thank you very much for still being the last garage around Yankee with absolutely affordable garage prices”
