After being sold a “tested and good condition” gearbox from a wrecker and having it faulty upon install, I dropped it off at the gearbox factory for diagnosis. They swiftly removed the gearbox from the vehicle and figured out the issue. A replacement gearbox was needed and we couldn’t find any in New Zealand so I had to purchase from overseas and wait for freight. Paul & his team were extremely understanding and accomodation of my situation and let the vehicle sit in their workshop for over a month while we got it all sorted and I can’t thank them enough. When we got the gearbox fitted & it worked fine as expected, I was suprised when my invoice came out to a lot less than I had anticipated and I found their pricing to be extremely fair and reasonable. If you have any gearbox related things you need sorting I couldn’t recommend them enough. Big thanks to the team.Posted on AWA NZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Briil8ant help and servicePosted on Dianne BradfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a particularly problematic Impreza, and the team walked alongside me every step of the way. They were incredibly thorough and committed, working hard to get to the root of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. What really stood out was their outstanding customer service, honesty, efficiency, and how much they genuinely care about finding the right solution. They went above and beyond more than once, and I always felt I could fully trust them. It's rare to find a team this dedicated and dependable. Can’t recommend them highly enough! Please go see them if you're having issues - they're the best! Big thanks to Steve and Steph, and the team.Posted on Kevin CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a retired motor mechanic and recently rang the Gearbox Factory for some advice, as I live out of Auckland. I was talking to Steve for awhile on the problems I was experiencing with my CVT transmission and the symptoms. Steve was so helpful with his suggestions which was a tremendous help in eliminating to find the final answers to the problem. Over and above that, I was convinced Steve was a specialist so knowledgeable on CVT transmissions gave one full confidence in the company from a customers point of view, plus giving me free advice and the time of day , which deserves recognition. From my experience, I would strongly recommend this company for motor vehicle servicing and repairs, especially CVT transmissions. Thank you Steve.

These are the go to guys for DSG issues.Posted on Martin JacobsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing service from Gearbox Factory – Steve and Steph were really helpful. I have taken both of my vehicles to them for Trans Oil change in the last two weeks and everything from booking, quot e and getting the job done on time was great.Posted on Ria MellingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great team at The GearBox Factory! Honestly, I had been given the ‘run around’ by multiple mechanics prior and I had lost confidence (and a lot of money) trying to get my vehicle fixed. The team at the GearBox Factory were helpful, honest, provided a wonderful service from the get-go. They provided options and quotes, picked up & towed my car to their workshop, went out of their way to ensure they provided the best service, kept in regular communication with me & provided a courtesy car too, honestly, I really appreciated it.
