When it comes to classic repairs for old style classic gearboxes, one of the major challenges is usually the use of modern oil. The ingredients for ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) contained whale oil as recently as the 1980s. Only recently has an additive been discovered which helps older vehicles models function as well as this. Our classic gearbox specialists will only use tried and tested fluids, spare parts and methods when it comes to repairs.

What our customers say

“I had heard of Mike’s reputation through a friend I met at a dinner party who had a good experience at Mike’s workshop when his Mercedes developed a gearbox problem.

As I live an hour plus drive from his shop, Mike suggested I go for a coffee while he diagnosed the problem on my car. I was prepared to leave it with him and train it back home but when I returned an hour later the car was not only diagnosed but he had fixed it too! Mike refused to take any money from me saying it was a simple fault and it only took him 15 minutes, so the least I can do is spread the word. Thanks, Mike and all the staff at Automatic Man in Acton. “

“If you are looking for an excellent automatic mechanic Mike is your man. We highly recommend Mike for his outstanding service and his negotiation skills with the warranty company when we needed our gearbox and torque converter replacing. Our usual garage was unable to help us but Mike stepped 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 for solving our problem. Our car is a dream to drive again – thank you”
