Get to Know GTA Transmission Repair in North York
Meet Derrick and Alessandra, the duo behind GTA Transmission.
Derrick has spent over three decades working with transmissions—this is what he knows best. He’s a fully licensed 310D transmission technician who’s worked everywhere from small independent shops to big-name franchises. After years of seeing upsells, pressure tactics and poor workmanship, he knew there had to be a better way. Before opening GTA Transmission, he spent almost 15 years with AAMCO in Brampton, where he earned a reputation for doing the job right, with honesty, skill and consistency. His technical knowledge is the backbone of our shop.
Alessandra, with a background in administration and journalism, brings the structure and soul that keep things running smoothly up front. In 2014, the two of them opened GTA Transmission with a clear mission: to build a shop based on trust, transparency and care—the kind of place they’d want their own family to go to.
As a woman-led, family-owned business, GTA Transmission is proud to offer a welcoming space where every customer feels heard and respected. From digital inspections to financing options, we’ve built a service experience that’s clear, practical and free of the usual pressure or guesswork.

Our Testimonials
After a poor and deceitful experience from a previous shop, I went searching. A few shops came across my "Google search", so for months I read reviews and so on, then decided to go with GTA Transmission. I paid them a visit, had a little chat with Derrick before hand. I then, took my 2017 camry in for a drain and fill, that was due. That was done in reasonable time, at a fair price and I could feel the difference driving the car. I am pleased and will return.

I had a great experience with GTA Transmission Repair Corp. The service was excellent, and they were able to find the actual problem with my car quickly and accurately. Two other repair shops had pointed me in the wrong direction, but the team at GTA Transmission found the real issue and explained everything clearly. Very professional, honest, and knowledgeable service. I really appreciate their help and would definitely recommend them!

Derrick is a genuine mechanic. Got my car working again when no one wanted to touch a 2012 Ford Focus transmission. The cost for repairs was half the price I got from other shops. Thank you.
