Gearbox Repair & Transmission Service
at Ember Automotive
Automatic gearboxes are among the most complex — and most expensive — components in a modern vehicle. A gearbox that is serviced at regular intervals lasts the life of the car. One that is neglected often requires a rebuild or replacement that costs AED 8,000–25,000+. Ember Automotive specialises in gearbox diagnosis and repair — we use transmission-specific scan tools to read live shift data and identify faults long before they become catastrophic failures.

A gearbox that slips between gears, hesitates on engagement, or produces a burning smell is warning you of imminent failure. Continuing to drive with these symptoms rapidly increases repair costs — a AED 4,000 valve body job can become a AED 18,000 full rebuild within days of continued operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Slipping between gears, delayed or harsh engagement from Park to Drive, shuddering at low speed, a burning smell, or a warning light are the most common early signs. Book a diagnostic immediately — early repair costs a fraction of a full rebuild.
Every 60,000–80,000 km, or every 4 years. Many manufacturers incorrectly label ATF as 'lifetime fluid' — in Dubai's heat, this is not the case. Old ATF accelerates clutch pack wear.
Yes — we service DSG (dual-clutch), CVT (continuously variable), and conventional automatic gearboxes. Each type requires specialist knowledge and tooling we carry.
Minor repairs (valve body, solenoids, fluid service) take 1–3 days. A full rebuild typically takes 5–8 working days depending on parts availability.
Valve body and fluid service: 3-month / 5,000 km warranty. Gearbox rebuilds: 6-month / 10,000 km warranty.
