Hey All

I think its time to service my auto transmission in my 08 ve omega but i dont know how to go about at this.

Can anyone recommend me a good place that specializes in auto transmission so they can do a service for me.

Im from the western side of melb and im happy to travel to get a good job done so tell me who you think is a gun at this stuff.

Thanks :)

I would take it to DTM in Geelong, they were awesome to deal with, they helped me with a reco'd tranny after another place completely f-ed me (VS Staty and a VR box installed among other issues).
Aaron and his staff were brilliant! (they may even remember me!)

And the place to avoid Hoppers Transmissions!... if you like VCAT go see them..

Also not to disagree with Kingswood Country but i'm from the Hoppers area and would gladly travel to Geelong to see DTM, will be taking my Caprice there when it needs it!.

I always went to werribee transmission centre on russel st in werribee, since he closed down he went to work at tectrans, who he taught as an apprentice, hence why I go there. Never done myself or any other person I know any wrong.

Glad to hear mate, I just had a terrible experience with that hoppers mob of arsewipes and it was made better by these blokes in Geelong. (which the VACC refered me to)

But i've never had any dealings with Tectrans so as i said not disagreeing with you as i have no fact to base that on. :)

Hoppers Transmissions.. search google (which i should have done instead of listen to a "mate") and see the True Local reviews!!!!..

Father and Son team -- i have a recorded phone convo where i'm abused for taking it elsewhere and they admit having a customer return a car 10 times before they eventually fix it!!

Lesson LEARNT!!!

As a local mechanic, I find tectrans in hoppers to be really good at what they do.

My father took his car to hoppers transmission and he said he's never going back there. He asked for a after market trans cooler and asked to have the stock one removed.

A week after the car seemed to be leaking water for some reason, took it to my mechanic and he said one connection on the stock trans cooler wasn't connected. My dad flipped as he asked to have It removed but they didn't. Took it back the second time and he was charged to remove the stock trans cooler.

The father and son are the biggest s**t talkers out so I'm never going sick there
