Automatic transmissions are growing in popularity, which means more independent garages and dealers are now encountering cars with auto transmission issues.
The complex nature of these systems means that repairs and rebuilds are often very specialist in nature, requiring very specific skills and knowledge as well as a range of relatively unique diagnostic equipment. Now in business for 25 years, Dublin based Cassidy Motors, is a specialist in automatic transmission repair and rebuilding. Richard Cassidy Senior and junior are a father and son team, who work with two other skilled mechanics in the workshop, to offer a full service and repair on all makes and models of automatic gearboxes for cars, jeeps and vans. The company has many long-standing trade customers from both the independent garage and the main dealer sector, who rely on Cassidy Motors to provide an effective solution to their automatic transmission needs.
Richard junior comments, "Automatic gearboxes are one of the most complex systems on a vehicle. Diagnosing and repairing problems is an involved process and we have invested in expert training and advanced equipment so that we can offer this specialist service to a very high level.” The equipment includes the latest dealer level diagnostics, while the family team has vast experience with all types of transmission systems.
The transmission rebuilding service offered by Cassidy Motors sees the unit removed from the vehicle, complete disassembly and detailed inspection of individual parts. These are either subjected to a special cleaning process or replaced. The team can then reassemble and reinstall the unit and carry out all the necessary vehicle coding to ensure it is in perfect working order.
Richard says, "This is a growing sector, but many garages are currently missing out on offering transmission repairs and rebuilds. By dealing with us, it means they can retain a customer’s business and offer them a high quality additional service when they need it.”
As well as automatic gearbox services, Cassidy Motors also offers a classic vehicle restoration service specialising in marques such as Bentley, Rolls Royce and MG.
