For many years satisfied customers have requested if we could open a service bay to carry out general maintenance of their vehicle too, so in 2009 by customer request we opened the "The Geartorque Service Centre." The fully equipped service bay can fulfil your vehicle needs from full servicing to air con recharging. If your vehicle is at our workshop for transmission rebuild, why not have our highly skilled technicians carry out an engine or full service to your vehicle while it is with us.

We are located on the A6, near the Reebok stadium, in between junction 5 and junction 6 of the M61, centrally located between Manchester, Bolton, Preston and Wigan.

Geartorque has the capability to rebuild any gearbox/transmission from classic car transmissions through to the latest high tech multispeed CVT transmission like the Audi Multitronics and DSG's, Geartorque is more than capable.

Overheating or water contamination is the main reason for automatic transmission failure, caravan towing being one activity that can cause it. Mercedes 722 6, Vauxhall, Saab and Volvo gearboxes are particularly susceptible to this problem. The solution is to have an additional air cooled oil cooler that will guard against the damage that could occur, and which usually results in a costly gearbox repair.
