We do transmission repair across the whole Kia range, and we quote it per model rather than per brand, because a quote that covers every Kia equally is a quote that is wrong for most of them.

Which Kia do you have?

The vehicle database lists 114 Kia models, and parts, labour time and price all move between them. Pick yours from the list below for the detail that applies to your car rather than to the range.

While the Kia is with us

Every visit includes a battery health test — not a voltage reading, a load test — because a Kia 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. On the start-stop models in this range that also means checking whether the battery has been registered, because an unregistered replacement is being charged to the wrong profile.

Sealed for life is a marketing claim

Several manufacturers describe their transmission fluid as lifetime fill. The lifetime in question is the warranty period, not the car's. In Dubai heat, fluid that has never been changed at 120,000 km is the most common single cause of the failures we rebuild.

Harsh shifting is usually not mechanical

A jolt into gear, a flare between ratios or a refusal to select drive when cold is far more often a solenoid, a pressure sensor or a mechatronic fault than worn clutch packs. Those are days of work apart in cost, and the diagnosis takes an hour.

What the visit covers

  • Fluid and filter service with the correct specification fluid
  • Mechatronic unit, solenoid and valve body diagnosis and repair
  • Torque converter replacement and lock-up clutch diagnosis
  • Full rebuild with new friction plates, steels, seals and bearings

Questions we get asked

What does a slipping transmission feel like?

The engine revs climb without the car accelerating proportionally, most obviously under load or on an incline. Any delay between selecting drive and the car moving is the same warning.

Is a transmission flush safe on a high-mileage car?

A pressure flush on a neglected high-mileage box can dislodge deposits that were holding pressure and cause immediate failure. We drain, drop the pan and change the filter instead, which is slower and considerably safer.

How much does a transmission rebuild cost in Dubai?

It varies widely by unit. We quote fixed after inspection, and we always price the alternative — a tested used unit with a warranty — alongside it so you can compare.
