Automatic Gearbox Diagnostics

As a company we have always known that the automatic gearbox industry has always required on open mind and willingness to embrace new technology. At Automatic Man in London we have constantly strived to stay up to date with this.

Our first basic code readers were brought in the 1980’s and believe it or not were cutting edge for that time. Our early machines are preserved in working order should your car need them.

Five years ago Mike decided that the only way forward was a massive investment in main dealer level equipment for automatic gearbox diagnostics. We have now moved on to main dealer level machines that allow us to programme and update ECU’s and give us dealer level auto transmission fault finding capabilities. Our arsenal now includes the complete VAG group with VAS Renault clip, Peugeot planet, Citroen lexia, BMW/Mini GT1, Mercedes star, Porsche durametric, Ford IDS, Jaguar Land Rover IDS and Volvo dice to name a few.

Three years ago we decided that another pair of hands was necessary to make sure that Mikes time at the bench building gearboxes was not compromised. Susanne joined to company shortly afterwards and has been fully trained in the use of all diagnostic equipment.

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”
