Toyota · Gearbox Repair
Slipping, jerking or delayed engagement diagnosed and rebuilt properly. Priced per Toyota model, not per brand.
What follows is what gearbox repair on a Toyota specifically involves, what it costs, and what we check while the car is with us.

Every visit includes a battery health test — not a voltage reading, a load test — because a Toyota in Dubai is on a two-to-three year battery cycle and the cheapest time to find a failing one is while somebody is already looking at the car. We also check charging voltage, because a battery that keeps going flat is usually an alternator story.
Automatic transmission fluid degrades sharply above 100 degrees, and Dubai traffic in July puts a torque converter well past that. Fluid that has cooked stops holding pressure, the clutch packs slip, slipping makes more heat, and the failure accelerates itself. A fluid change at the right interval is the single cheapest thing you can do for a gearbox in this climate.
Clean red fluid means time. Dark brown fluid with a burnt smell means clutch material is already circulating. Metallic glitter in the pan means the hard parts are going. Those three findings lead to three completely different quotes, which is why we look before we price.
Pick your model for the price and the labour time that apply to your car.
Briefly and gently, no further than it takes to get it looked at. Every kilometre driven while slipping generates heat and debris that raises the cost of the eventual repair.
Every 40,000 to 60,000 km, sooner than most manufacturer schedules suggest, because those schedules assume moderate ambient temperatures. Ignore any claim that the fluid is sealed for life.
Yes, and we will also tell you honestly when a CVT is past the point where a rebuild is economical, which for some units is earlier than owners expect.
