What sets us apart
Transmission specialization
While many shops handle general maintenance, our training and focus on transmissions and driveline systems allow us to deliver deeper diagnostic insight and higher-quality rebuilds and repairs.
Full vehicle capability
We bridge the gap between specialized transmission work and general vehicle repairs—addressing engine, suspension, and other systems that interact with transmissions.
Honest estimates

Customer education:
We take time to explain issues, repair options, and preventive steps in plain language.
Local reliability
Serving our community for more than a decade, we’ve built a solid reputation with repeat customers and referrals.
A well-repaired transmission improves safety, drivability, and fuel efficiency. It also protects other components like the engine and differential from undue stress. By focusing on robust repair practices and using quality parts, we increase the life span of your driveline components and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.
Why our work matters
Our service philosophy
Repair for longevity: We prefer repair approaches that address root causes rather than quick fixes. This may involve replacing worn bearings, seals, and internal components to restore proper function.
Cost-conscious recommendations: We present options when possible—repair, rebuild, or replace—with transparent cost comparisons so you can make the best decision for your budget and vehicle.
Warranty and support: Our services include warranties on parts and labor (details provided at estimate) so you have peace of mind.
Community involvement
Tri City Transmissions believes in local connections. We support local businesses, provide honest service to fleet operators, and participate in community events when possible. Our team understands the transportation needs of Kitchener residents and businesses and aims to be a dependable local partner.
Safety and environmental practices
We adhere to environmental regulations for fluid handling and disposal. Old fluids, filters, and components are managed responsibly, and we offer propane refills and tank services under proper safety guidelines.
