Dot Transmissions is capable of saving you time and money with transmission rebuilds in Edmonton. With a comprehensive inspection, including computer diagnostics, we can determine the type of repair your vehicle needs and make a recommendation based on our decades of experience.
Today’s transmissions are complex, with computer-controlled electronic parts and hydraulics working together to keep your vehicle in motion.

But if the problem is more involved and your transmission needs an overhaul, we can take care of it. Contact us today to schedule service from our expert technicians.
