Wow. Well, if you like old school service where the people treat you with respect, are very honest and only charge you fairly for what was done, then John and the team at Re-Car are the best in Adelaide. My transmission is running like new again. I can't recommend them enough. The mechanics where I have my car serviced, who suggested the trans flush will also now be sending all their customers to Re-Car. Amazing job everyone at Re-Car and for the great service, you've just gained me and also my best friend as ongoing customers.

If you want an honest, knowledgeable, well priced and quality mechanic go no further than John and the boys at Re-Car. I have used them since 1990 for general servicing, suspension and specially work. A+

A fast and professional service with excellent quality for reasonable cost. I was going to have to wait a fortnight to have my transmission looked at and fixed anywhere else. Would highly recommend

Common signs of transmission issues include delayed or harsh shifting, slipping gears, unusual noises, warning lights, fluid leaks, or a burning smell. If you notice any of these symptoms, early diagnosis can help prevent further damage and reduce repair costs.

Yes. Re-Car specialises in automatic transmission repairs and rebuilds, as well as manual gearboxes and transfer cases. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair both modern electronic systems and older hydraulic or mechanical transmissions.

Re-Car is a specialist workshop with in-house remanufacturing and machining capabilities. This allows us to diagnose faults accurately, rebuild critical components on-site, and maintain full control over quality and turnaround times — rather than relying on outsourced repairs.

We take a diagnosis-first approach. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we assess electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic systems to identify the root cause of issues before recommending repairs. This helps avoid unnecessary parts replacement and repeat visits.

Repair time depends on the issue and vehicle type. We keep a range of exchange transmissions and steering components to minimise downtime, and many non-stocked rebuilds can be completed efficiently thanks to our in-house capabilities. We’ll always provide clear timeframes before work begins.

Yes. Modern vehicles rely heavily on electronic systems, and our workshop is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to service and repair electronically controlled engines, transmissions, and vehicle systems, as well as older models.
