Our Services
Comprehensive drivetrain care from Etobicoke's most experienced transmission shop.
Transmission Rebuild & Repair
When your transmission slips, hesitates, or refuses to shift, a full rebuild is often the most cost-effective long-term solution — and it is what All-Type Transmission does best. As the most trusted transmission repair shop in Etobicoke, we strip the unit completely, inspect every gear, seal, band, and solenoid, then reassemble it to factory specification using quality parts. Whether you drive a domestic sedan, a European import, or a heavy-duty pickup, our transmission rebuild service in Etobicoke covers all makes and models from the 1930s right through to current model-year vehicles.
Automatic Transmission Service
Automatic transmissions are complex systems with hundreds of moving parts. Symptoms like delayed engagement, shuddering at highway speed, unexplained warning lights, or a burning smell all point to automatic transmission problems that need professional attention. At our Etobicoke shop on Sixteenth Street, we perform comprehensive automatic transmission repair — from a simple service involving a fresh filter and fluid to a complete overhaul of the valve body, torque converter, and clutch packs. Catching problems early almost always saves you money, so do not wait until a soft shift becomes a hard thunk.
CVT Transmission Repair
Continuously Variable Transmissions are found in a growing number of Nissans, Subarus, Hondas, and other popular vehicles on Toronto-area roads. CVT transmission repair requires a specialist — the belt-and-pulley system, the variator, and the control module behave completely differently from a conventional automatic. All-Type Transmission has the tools and hands-on experience to diagnose CVT issues accurately, perform CVT fluid service on schedule, and carry out CVT transmission repair in Toronto without the steep dealership markup. If your CVT is jerking, making a whining noise, or going into failsafe mode, call us before it becomes a full replacement.
Transmission Fluid Change & Flush
Old, burnt, or contaminated transmission fluid is the single leading cause of premature transmission failure. A scheduled transmission fluid change — typically every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometres depending on your vehicle and driving habits — keeps seals pliable, prevents sludge buildup, and ensures proper hydraulic pressure throughout the unit. We offer both a standard drain-and-fill and a complete power flush to purge old fluid from the cooler lines and torque converter. If your fluid looks dark or smells burnt, book a transmission fluid change in Etobicoke before the damage becomes structural.
Clutch, Flywheel & Drive Shaft Service
Manual transmission drivers in Etobicoke know the frustration of a slipping clutch, a chattering engagement, or that telltale burning smell on a steep hill. All-Type Transmission handles complete clutch repair in Etobicoke — replacing the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing as a matched set, and resurfacing or replacing the flywheel as needed. We also service drive shafts, CV axles, U-joints, and transfer cases, so whether you drive a front-wheel-drive commuter or an all-wheel-drive SUV, we can get your drivetrain back in shape. There is no cam, master or slave cylinder, or flywheel we have not worked on.
Oil Change & Preventive Maintenance
A fast, honest oil change in Etobicoke is the foundation of any good maintenance relationship. We offer conventional, synthetic blend, and full-synthetic oil changes paired with our complimentary 60-point inspection — checking fluid levels, belts, hoses, brakes, tire condition, and more. Many of our transmission customers started as oil change customers, and we are proud to be the neighbourhood shop that Mimico and Lakeshore residents trust for everything from a basic service to a complex drivetrain overhaul. Ask about our multi-service packages to keep costs down on combined visits.
20+ Years Serving Etobicoke & the Lakeshore
All-Type Transmission opened its doors in Mimico more than two decades ago with a simple promise: treat every customer fairly and fix their vehicle right the first time. That promise has not changed. As a small, owner-operated shop on Sixteenth Street, we have no sales quotas, no service advisors pushing unnecessary upsells, and no allegiance to any particular parts brand. What we have is a master mechanic who has seen — and fixed — virtually every transmission problem a vehicle can have.
Our reputation as the go-to Lakeshore transmission shop was built word-of-mouth, one satisfied customer at a time. We regularly see cars that have been misdiagnosed elsewhere, and we are proud that a straightforward second opinion has saved many Etobicoke drivers thousands of dollars.
We work on all makes and models — North American, European, Japanese, Korean — and all drivetrain configurations: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. If it has a transmission, we can repair it.

Your Neighbourhood Transmission Shop on the Lakeshore
Etobicoke's Lakeshore corridor — stretching from Mimico through New Toronto to Long Branch — is one of Toronto's most active commuter communities. Residents travel the QEW, the Gardiner, and Lakeshore Blvd West daily, putting real wear on their vehicles. Stop-and-go city driving, highway merging, and the region's notorious winter potholes all accelerate transmission wear in ways that highway-only driving does not.
Being the neighbourhood's mechanic near Lakeshore Blvd West means we understand the specific demands of local driving. We know how Toronto's seasons affect transmission fluid viscosity, how Lakeshore road salt accelerates seal degradation, and how the long westbound backup on the QEW at rush hour stresses a cooling system into the red. That local knowledge shapes how we diagnose and repair every vehicle that comes through our doors.
If you live in Mimico, New Toronto, or Long Branch, we are likely less than five minutes from your front door. If you are coming from Alderwood, Islington, Rexdale, or Humber Bay, we are a straight shot down Lakeshore or a short drive off the Gardiner. For customers coming from Mississauga or Port Credit, we are the first quality transmission shop inside the Toronto border.
We are proud to be part of the fabric of this neighbourhood. Our customers are our neighbours, and we believe that the best way to serve them is to be genuinely honest about what their vehicle needs — and what it does not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from our Etobicoke and Toronto customers.
How do I know if I need a transmission repair or just a fluid change?
A slipping, jerking, or delayed shift is usually a sign of internal wear that a fluid change alone will not fix — you need a proper diagnosis. However, if your transmission is shifting normally but the fluid is dark, smells burnt, or is at the wrong level, a transmission fluid change and inspection can often head off bigger problems. Bring your vehicle to our Etobicoke shop and we will give you an honest assessment.
How much does transmission repair in Etobicoke typically cost?
Costs vary widely depending on whether you need a minor repair, a full rebuild, or a replacement unit. A transmission fluid service starts at a fraction of the cost of a rebuild. Rather than quoting a number that may not apply to your vehicle, we encourage you to call or stop by for a free road test and diagnostic. We are transparent about what needs to be done and will not recommend work that is not necessary.
Do you work on CVT transmissions?
Yes. CVT transmission repair in Toronto is a specialty area for many shops, but we have the experience and equipment to service CVTs correctly. Common issues include worn drive belts, deteriorated variator pulleys, and failing control solenoids. We also perform CVT fluid changes at the manufacturer-recommended interval, which is critical to longevity.
How long does a transmission rebuild take?
Most transmission rebuilds at our Etobicoke shop are completed within three to five business days, depending on parts availability and the scope of the repair. We will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. We know your vehicle is your livelihood and we treat every job with that urgency.
Is clutch replacement covered under any warranty?
All of our clutch repair and transmission rebuild work is backed by a warranty on parts and labour. Ask us for warranty details when you bring in your vehicle — the specifics depend on the parts used and the type of repair.
What areas near Lakeshore Blvd do you serve?
