I first brought my van to this shop a year ago, and the work performed was outstanding. Gian and his team took the time to discuss the issues in detail, explaining everything clearly and ensuring I understood the necessary repairs. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations.Recently, I returned with my other vehicle for a routine service, and once again received exceptional service. The transmission was checked and serviced in addition to the standard maintenance, and every aspect of the work was explained and planned with transparency beforehand. The quality of their workmanship justifies the price paid. I highly recommend Gian and his team for their professionalism and commitment to excellence.

Amazing and friendly service, Gian was very thoughtful about my problems and his patience made a difference. My car needed to have the clutch replaced and they did a perfect job, now it works like new! I recommend the shop 🤞🏽

Can’t recommend these guys enough. They fixed my transmission at a fraction of the price quoted at similar shops in the area. They’re honest, telling me it was merely a cheap part - a solenoid that needed replacing. They also had absolutely no problem replacing a seal under warranty that began leaking after they replaced it earlier this year.- clean workshop- honest, won’t rip you off- very fast turn around!!10/10, will be back if I ever need to.

I recently took my car to Central Automatics after a major service elsewhere missed a few key issues, including a serious problem with the transmission. The team at Central Automatics were incredibly generous with their time. They inspected my car, and after just a few minutes, made a small adjustment to fix the transmission issue. They advised me to come back only when or if the clutch needed to be replaced, rather than pushing unnecessary repairs.As a young woman who isn't very car-savvy, it's rare to leave a mechanic feeling confident, well-looked after, and without a hefty bill. Central Automatics went above and beyond to make sure everything was checked thoroughly, and I didn’t feel taken advantage of. I’ll definitely be going back to them exclusively for any future transmission and related issues. Highly recommend!

The team at CATS were knowledgeable and diagnosed my DSG transmission problem very quickly. They were friendly and helpful in the process of finding and fitting a replacement gearbox, and were very accommodating when the wrong gearbox was delivered, keeping my car on the hoist overnight until the problem was resolved. Kudos to you guys, great service and great prices too!

Great mechanics, honest and would totally recommend. Took my xtrail there after a few mechanics didn’t find out what was wrong. They fixed it and charged exactly what i was told. My xtrail is working great now. Thanks!

I honestly couldn't be happier with the service and expertise from the guys at CATS. I was in a sticky predicament with my car which was an older make and model. I was met only with proffesionalism, honesty and great advice that would help me financially in the future, rather than the shop just taking the money for a quick fix that I would struggle with again in the near future like most shops would. I was dealing with Serge in particular and he went above and beyond to help me through all of this.Cant recommend the boys enough, thankyou!!

If you have a VW DQ200 gearbox then don't hesitate to contact CATS to get it repaired. Being an engineer I researched the hell out of what might be wrong with my sad and shuddering DSG gearbox. What I quickly realised was that this is definitely not a DIY fix and I needed to find a specialist. The moment I made contact with Sergio and his team I realised that I had brought my car to the right place. Sergio is a mix of old school values, genuine courtesy and clinical engineering precision. I dropped my car off and felt totally at ease. It didn't matter how bad the gearbox was that it would be fixed and fixed properly.CATS has parts in stock, excellent communication skills and a passion and commitment to their craft. So hard to find these days. The car was fixed by the next day. The gearbox repair transformed the feel of the car and it now drives as it should. The cost of repair was a pleasant surprise and totally a totally fair price. I had read some real horror stories about the cost of DSG repairs and replacement, and I can honestly say that the experience with CATS was nothing but professional and totally stress free. I can't recommend Sergio and his team highly enough. Thank you Sergio.

Serg and team at Central Auto Transmissions were unbelievable. My Mercedes (5 years old) had major transmission issue, their service, communication, solutions and workmanship had my car back on the road in less than a week and at a fraction of the price quoted initially by other shops. Don’t go anywhere else - straight to Serg! Thanks again Serg!

Excellent service! I would give them 10 start, The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and my car feels like new. They explained everything clearly about my transmission issue and had no hidden charges. The service was quick and efficient. Highly recommend!

Thank you to Gian and team for the excellent repair you have just done on our 2009 Koleos! We've had some repairs over the past couple of years but they have never really fixed the noises we were hearing coming from the engine. We really appreciate the work you guy have done and the car drives SO smoothly now. Thank you!

We highly recommend this company for all automatic transmission repairs and services. They were recommended by over 95% of workshops in Sydney as the place to go.Our Mitsubishi Outlander had a totally failed transmission. After weeks of researching for a reputable repairer, we contacted Gian who was enthusiastic about the repair challenge we had for the business.Central Automatics Transmission Services accomplished a complete total rebuild of our transmission within days! We now understood why this company is so well respected within the automotive industry 👏. The complete repair cost was more than reasonable which included a 40,000klm warranty.Thankyou guys for your professional services, you've most certainly set the bar very high for any competitors!

Why are there only 5 starts? These guys should get 10!My usual mechanic recommended CATS as my 2011 Suzuki Alto manual transmission was showing signs of serious deterioration. The CATS crew assessed the problem in no time, identified the problem with my transmission, gave a free quote and fixed the car all within 3 days.Gian is an absolute legend, so flexible, personable, reliable and transparent. Do you know when you feel you can trust someone? When you have a great professional in front of you? That you are in good hands? That's him.So happy to have come across the team at CATS. Definitely they just got a customer for life.And if you are thinking about it, just go visit CATS. Couldn’t recommend CATS enough.

My Nissan Pathfinder was having transmission issues and CATS came highly recommended by a local mechanic. Both Gian and James were extremely helpful and they had my utmost trust and confidence to fix my car. Very professional outfit and a pleasure to deal with. 🙏 I hopefully never need their services again 😂😂!

Should get 7 stars. They checked my car's automatic transmission and gave me very helpful recommendations around next steps. They even took the time to talk me through everything in detail. Great service and very kind staff.

My car has had a noise that I thought was coming from the differential. I have seen 4 different mechanics and all tried to fix the problem and all had no idea but charged for things like new rear tyres.Central Automatics told me it was the front left wheel bearing. Fixed at a great price and now the noise is gone. They even said "no fix no pay after diagnosis " . I highly recommend these guys. I will return.

I took my car in because I thought I had a transmission problem but it was electrical.Despite not being able to fix it because they don't do that type of work, the guy helped me identify the problem and recommended another workshop where I could go, very kindly.Thank you so much.

My normal mechanic recommended CATS as my 2011 Mazda 6 transmission was showing signs of deterioration (260K km apparently is well overdue for overhaul). Nevertheless, Gian and James assessed the problem and provided me with options to consider; these were fully explained in detail.I am very happy with the quality of the service. Strongly recommended.

By far the best transmission specialist in Sydney I have been to multiple places which none of them either could find the issue or just try charge me thousands to fix I took it here and they straight away found the problem which was coming from the ecu recommended me to an auto electrician and sorted my problem straight away honestly couldn’t be happier

I’d spoken to half a dozen mechanics who couldn’t identify the problem. These guys did it in less than 2 mins. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you for the peace of mind.

Gian was great to deal with, he gave an honest and informed diagnosis of the problem with our transmission and so we only needed to fix the parts that were broken not rebuild the whole transmission. Quick service and great to deal with, friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommended.

We experienced incredible service when we took our car to CATS. They came highly recommended when my husband and I experienced trouble with our car transmission. Gian went over and above to help us out. He’s an absolute legend, so flexible and personable. So happy to have come across the team at CATS. Thanks again!

Gian and the team at CATS went above and beyond the call to help my wife and I out when we found ourselves in a tricky situation. We were visiting Sydney from Melbourne when our cars transmission gave up and we were due to drive home the next day. We called CATS and Gian was immediately helpful booking us in early the next morning to see what the damage was. After receiving the call that it would be an expensive fix, confirming our worst fears, Gian provided helpful advice as to what our next move should be. After long discussions we decided not to fix the car but rather trade it in to a nearby dealership towards a new car. Gian even offered to look over the new car we were thinking of purchasing that same day! With his endorsement that it was a good deal we bought the car and were able to drive home that day as planned. Gian’s compassion for our situation cannot be understated, thanks again!

I love my car…. I’ve had her for 20yrs. Lately she started acting up while changing gears (automatic).Took her to my mechanics at mycar Annandale and while Arman did the best he could we needed the help of another who deals with transmissions on a daily basis.So I asked him if he could suggest anyone reliable….”Gian is great” … it maybe a little out of your way, but I take my cars to him. I was sold.I called him, he said he’d look at her. Tuesday afternoon I rolled her in Gian said he’d let me know by Wednesday lunchtime. So I got the diagnosis call… “good news … it’s not the transmission but a computer part”… wait my car has a computer? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ ok go for it let me know when it’s done. Friday afternoon come and get her and I did! And she is better than ever 💎Gian and the crew are professional, courteous and made me feel like a part of the family ….If you have any transmission issues please reach out to Gian and the boys… I am sure they will help you outThank you Gian… my mind is now at ease

Great service and a fantastic reception! My local mechanic highly recommended me to use CATS for my transmission fluid work, and I am very happy with the service. Jian has been wonderful and friendly in helping me book my service and get it done on time. Thank you Jian and the CATS team.

Professional specialised service from the get-go. Will def spread the word for this business. I had the transmission service done on my Q7 as mine was a lil over 200kms. Didn't think id notice much of a difference but undoubtedly smoother in rpm/changing of gears. It's not often u leave a place feeling money well spent! Reasonably priced and honest intentions 🙏🏽 Thank u Gian & Team.
