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.

Hi, i brought my 2013 ford edge for a transmission repair at around 125k km. I'm at around 240 k km now and the only things that still work are the Power windows and transmission - that's it.
Hi Alessandra, my car works peeerfect! I'm loving it since. Thank you very much!
... it's an honest truth as I had many bad experiences with shops who didn't even touch my vehicle but charged me, I was trying to keep up with the transmission maintenance and every time I was just assured that work was done which in fact it wasn't and here I am without my work vehicle and crippled business, I wish I have found your shop years ago…
I was happy with the service provided and communication from the reception and techs.
