European automobiles are renowned for their performance, luxury, and engineering precision.
However, even the finest machines have their Achilles’ heel, and for many European cars, this is usually the transmission.
The complexity that gives these vehicles their smooth and responsive ride can also lead to issues, especially as they age.
At Dodson, we specialise in all kinds of transmission servicing including diagnosing and repairing all kinds of European transmissions, ensuring your vehicle continues to deliver the performance and reliability synonymous with European engineering.
There are a few common issues that pop up with European transmissions.
One common issue is their sensitivity to maintenance schedules. Unlike some other vehicles, European models often require more frequent and specialised care.
Neglecting routine maintenance like fluid changes or using incorrect transmission fluids can lead to premature wear and tear.
This is particularly true for high-end vehicles equipped with dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs) or continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), which offer exceptional performance but can be more susceptible to problems without proper care.
The advanced electronics and software that make European transmissions so adaptive can also be a source of complications.
Software glitches or sensor malfunctions can lead to erratic shifting patterns, loss of power, or even complete transmission failure.
These issues require not just mechanical expertise but also advanced diagnostic tools and a deep understanding of the specific vehicle’s electronic systems.
At Dodson, we combine state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment with our team’s extensive experience in European automotive technology.
Whether it’s a tuned VW, a luxury Mercedes, or a high-performance BMW, we have the skills and knowledge to identify and resolve a wide range of transmission issues.
Accurate diagnostics are the cornerstone of effective transmission repair, especially for the sophisticated systems found in European vehicles.
We are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools specifically designed to interface with the complex electronic systems of European transmissions.
Our team of specialists combines these diagnostic tools with their extensive experience to accurately diagnose your transmission problems and offer the most effective repair option.
The lifeblood of any transmission is its fluid, and this is especially true for the sophisticated systems in European models.
Our service includes not just replacing old transmission fluid but using premium-grade oils that meet the exact specifications of your vehicle’s make and model.
These high-quality fluids ensure smoother gear shifts, prolonged transmission life, and overall improved vehicle performance.
Our technicians are adept in the unique requirements of European transmissions, from conventional automatics to advanced dual-clutch systems, ensuring that every fluid change we perform is done correctly to support the intricate engineering of your vehicle.
Repairing a European transmission requires a blend of precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of high-end engineering.
European vehicles, known for their performance and sophistication, demand a level of attention that goes beyond the ordinary.
Our team of skilled technicians specialises in the intricate repair work these transmissions require. Whether it’s addressing the complex mechanics of a BMW’s 8-speed automatic, the delicate balance of an Audi’s dual-clutch system, or the advanced electronics of a Mercedes-Benz, we are equipped to handle it all.
We use only the highest quality OEM or equivalent parts and the latest repair techniques, ensuring that each repair meets the exacting standards of your vehicle’s manufacturer.
EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews M F2023-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t normally give out 5 stars, but this place deserves the full credit, did a transmission service, very professional and friendly. Can’t expect anything more tbh. J Dizza2023-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience all the way from the quoting stage through to the carry out of the job. Took the time to come for a test drive with me prior to engaging in the service. Dodsons completed the job for a third of what it would’ve cost me to get my transmission serviced and recalibrated through BMW. Very happy customer Guitar Guys2022-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought my E60 M5 to Dodson Motorsport for a general service and was blown away how thorough they are. There was no pressure to get any extra work done, but I was well advised of all potential issues that had previously gone unnoticed at another shop. This shows attention to detail by them, which is exactly what you want when dealing with performance vehicles. If you have a vehicle that you truly love, and only want the best care for it, then I highly recommend Dodson.

Trevor Huggins2022-11-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the DSG transmission and Haldex service on the VW R32. Great communication and price. Highly recommend Dodson's. Mike Skinner2022-09-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service and a fair price for servicing my wife's Cayenne. Even rung to tell her about a water pump leak but let her know it did not need replacing for a while - don't see honesty like that often these days. We will be customers from now on! Maddison Bonham2022-09-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my Vw Gti dsg & engine service done here. Fast, knowledgeable & friendly staff. See you guys next time!
