What customers say about Jacky

“… Arranged an appointment with Jacky and drove my BMW 5 series to let him check. Workshop was impressive from the setup …”

Ulysses Wang · BMW 5 Series

“… I was initially very worried about the repair cost when my Audi A4 gearbox was diagnosed to be faulty. But Jacky was very patient and professional in explaining to me the overhaul process and the quoted price was below what I have expected. My car was ready after 3 days and was given a 6 months warranty as well. I would definitely recommend my friends to them for any gearbox issues.”

Alvin Lee · Audi A4

Gearbox repair FAQ

How much does a gearbox repair cost in Singapore?
It depends on the car and the fault, so we don’t quote blind. We start with a pre-repair diagnostic (from S$30) to find the actual cause, then give you a clear quote before any work starts. WhatsApp us your car model and symptoms to get started.
How much is the diagnostic?
Our pre-repair diagnostic starts from S$30. We read the transmission fault codes and check the gearbox, then tell you the fault and the repair price before any work starts.
My car can’t move. Can you tow it?
Yes. We provide free pick-up to our workshop for gearbox repair during office hours, and if the car can’t move because of transmission failure we send a tow truck, free of charge. WhatsApp or call 8430 9665.
Which car brands do you work on?
All types of vehicles: continental (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Mini), Japanese (Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki), Korean (Hyundai, Kia) and other makes such as Land Rover, Jaguar, Volvo, Ford, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Chevrolet and Opel.
Is there a warranty after repair?
Yes. All repairs come with a standard 6-month warranty unless otherwise stated.
What are the signs my gearbox needs attention?
A transmission check light, hesitation or refusing to go into gear, being stuck in one gear, jerking or slipping between gears, vibration at low RPM, red ATF stains under the car, or a loud noise from the gearbox. Any of these is worth a diagnostic before it gets worse.
Where are your workshops and when are you open?
