I can highly recommend these guys. They did an awesome job on my front differential restoration. The team is very professional and communicated very well. Don, the owner, is also actively involved and is a great guy to deal with.

Ruan was amazing, super generous with his time, advice, friendly, concerned and honest. Hard to find that these days. And it didnt cost me a cent. will definitely be going back next time, when i really need help with my gearbox

Took my car to spring field 2015 due to gearbox moved when my car was drove in from behind.They wanted me to pay upfront for the job so I eft the money in full. Brought them proof of payment and drop my car with them. Filled in no paper work. They told me the job will take 2 days. After 10 day I went to go pic my car up my petrol tank on empty, that I left by them more than half way and 100km extra on my car.I checked the car out and saw my reserve water tank cap was gone. I went to the owner manger and brought it to his attention and he refused to replace my cap.The guarantee on the gearbox was 3 months and the 4rth month my gearbox leaked oil.They also refused to fix their poor workmanship.

Springfield Gearbox were very helpful.I phoned them before hand and on arrival they took my automatic Honda for a test drive and confirmed my gearbox needed an oil change.The oil change took an hour to complete.I got honest,fast and efficient service.My Hondas response was noticeable almost immediately.My gearbox changes were better,faster and much smoother.

Just picked up my car today.. so happy to be able to be driving it like I stole it once again :) Was also lucky they had another gearbox to replace my rare one with for my 20 year old car. Fingers crossed this gearbox lasts another 20 years

As a gearbox building company owner myself i am very impressed with these guys. I only build manual vw and audi transmissions so. I enlisted their help some time last year. I dropped off a box of bmw automatic gearbox parts and they did a damn good job of rebuilding it. They taught me alot about how to deal with clients and how to go about running a business in this industry. Really a group of great guys with insane quality workmanship. Shoutout to Don and Riaan for the excellent service and all the time they took to personally explain to me how to go about fitment etc. They may not know it but i learnt alot from them. Id recommend the president of the United States to these guys for gearbox repairs. They are just that good!

Once the job was done they walked me through what they had done and anything else that i must notice of for the future .all in all the service given was very much appreciated and the job done was explained properly.thank you very much to management and staff for service given.

Took my Honda to these guys . No one wanted to help me. Riaan and his team at Springfield were extremely helpful and got me sorted out and back on the road. Thanks for listening to my long sad history with bad mechanics and service and finally feel I found the right company to assist me with my future vehicle maintenance. Great service, great job. Thank you

Review №22

Excellent. I walked in there just for advice and they treated me like a customer who is about to spend millions there. The boss donovan spared no time when speaking to me and answered all my questions with a smile. They didnt treat me like a time waster. These guys are real true legends! I ended up having them repair my transmission and boy did they do a good job. Even though I sent it in stripped already. They knew exactly how to put it together and even picked up issues that I didnt...they are very thorough and deserve the title of gearbox gurus

Excellent service. Riaan always kept me posted on the progress. The cost of fixing gears was rather reasonable. Car was even vacuumed and cleaned.

Review №24

Update after owner response: Most information in the response is incorrect.Ive been trying to be in contact with them since Sep2020 but no response and when i go there they tell theres no place in their yard to fix what they broke. To owner, I sent you an email with the facts instead of untrue claims you wrote.Ive used Springfield gearbox for two jobs for my Renault Automatic transmission issues and on both jobs the customer service and workmanship was just absolute terrible. 1st job was to fix oil leaking on top of gearbox, after paying for a full labour to examine gearbox for any damages and them confirming theres no damages, Gearbox broke on the road 15 minutes after I took the car from them, they didnt provide any help at all although they offered warranty on this fix... Second job of course was a result to gear slipping because there was sort of damages before (for 2nd job I asked to remove warranty since its useless because it covers only parts not poor workmanship according to them). They fixed the slipping alright but right after test driving, the car made strange noises from gear box, although they confirmed it was suspension not the gear box, one week later I discovered a bigger oil leak (although they charged to replace all gaskets..) on the bottom, strange noise was actually coming from gearbox because a fault in torque converter and they didnt even connect the natural safety switch properly when they put back the gear box in the car causing car not to start sometimes.. so after 22k spent on fixes by them I end up with faulty gearbox still.. Bottom line: dont use this workshop if you have a Renault Automatic transmission, they clearly dont know how to build/fix those

I was recommended by a friend who had been to Springfield gearbox who had a good experience and to ask for Donovan Clarke the owner about my Mercedes Benz issue I was having. I was welcomed and immediately felt relaxed that I had come to the right people. Donovan explained the issue with my car in detail that I could understand and quoted to repair my box. A few days later I got my baby baby changing all her gears like a dream. I have to say the friendliness of all the staff and professionalism over and above the great job on my car was really comforting. I have never experienced that from a mechanical garage. Just thought I needed to share that. Thanks again Springfield.

Had a really good experience recently at Springfield gearbox. Had the pleasure of meeting donovan and his team. Very happy with the level of service, professionalism and most of all the attention to detail and personal interaction and freindlnes. Really took the time to listen to me and my issues with my car and a genuine interest in me as s client. I can truly see now the ratings from other clients and there experiences and can believe every good word that has been spoken about this company and there staff. Keep up the amazing work. The proof is definitely in the experience. Stranges thing is all the complements arent about how happy the people are with there cars but the experience, which is exceptionally rare in this trade.

Wow. What can I say that hasent been said. Theses guys are as good and honest as as everything you have read. I took my car because of the good reviews. Didnt say anything about why my car has no gears. I was told by other similar companies I need a replacement auto box for my car. Don assessed my car, a day later told me some ratchet was broken 🤷‍♂️. So I ask for a price. Well lets put it this way. 6k is way better than 30k what I was being told. Thanks again. You are stars. Honest and credible. 🙏👍

Friendly, professional, on point and affordable. If you have gearbox problems, you might as well go see a gearbox specialist. They know more than your local mechanic and will not sell you a new or second hand gearbox. Highly recommend.

Review №61

These guys are brilliant. First time Ive ever taken my car to them and I wont be going anywhere else anytime soon.Between Rian and Donovan the place is run smoothly and efficiently and most of all compassionately which is a rare find at other places.My gearbox as well as my front left ABS sensor needed to be replaced which as some of you may know is one of the more pricey car procedures.Driving a Honda civic my first call was the Honda outlet and service center who immediately told me that labor alone would be 15+hours at R750 an hour + the 3 weeks it would take for the parts to arrive. I then phoned around and was told to contact Springfield Gearbox by a friend whos cousin had dealt with them. I told them the situation and within 2 days of dropping the car off I had a reconditioned gearbox and front left ABS sensor. That speaks loads to the capabilities and efficiency of Springfield Gearbox. It also cost a fraction of any other quotes.I highly recommend them. Whatever your concern is, call them first.

Brought my merc b200 auto in for a diagnostic test. I was told by similar companies that the warning light was going to cost me a fortune to fix. The guys at Springfield saved me thousands of Rands by just clearing the fault codes. I was so impressed by the level of service and professionalism, honesty. I was chatting to riaan the manager about trading my car in for a newer model and asked for some advice. The boss Donovan sitting in his office overhearing our conversation stopped the work he was doing to come and chat to me and gave me some most valuable advice I had never known before about buying cars and selling. Thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me. Your time and advice. Im writing this for all the people out there looking for a honest great company to deal with. Most impressed. Keep up the good work.

Thee best people in the business. By far. I had a more than exceptional experience whilst dealing with Donovan and Riaan from Springfield Gearbox & Diff Centre. The work was nothing but quality and I could notice this in the driving of my vehicle. It was sound and smooth. I would definitely refer this repair centre to anyone who has a gearbox & diff issue with their vehicle. These guys are the experts. My BMW 135i is back and fully operational. The communication was good, the turnaround time was as promised and the handling of my claim was dealt very reasonably. Thank you!!

Thank you Springfield for your great service. I handed my Audi in with a damaged gearbox a few days before their workshop closed for the Christmas and New Year holidays. They went out of their way to get my car running which would enable me to have transport over the festive season. I was informed that the car needed to be brought back in the New Year to enable them to complete the work they started. Well done Donovan and Riaan. I’ll recommend you guys any day!

I took my automatic Nissan pathfinder to Springfield gearbox in December as my mechanic suspected it was my gearbox that was causing the lack of power. Riaan from Springfield did a diagnostic scan for about R900 and concluded that it is not the gearbox but most probably the turbo that is faulty and quoted R19000!! for a reconditioned turbo incl labour and second hand R10000Glad I didnt do it as it turned out that just the filters were clogged which costed me R400.Rem to always get a second opinion.The service was good and friendly

Never before have you experienced such a professional establishment, top quality service and a fresh an trusted advisor approach to problems, I would highly recommend this establishment as the go to spot for all your mechanical issues, its a one stop, owner managed by Mr Clarke an age old industry veteran, better service, advice and after sales of this level cannot be found anywhere else!! This trusted business began its humble beginnings in 1985 and over the years has helped many of my family and friends and saved them a significant amount of money where others had over quoted them for small and simple problems. You cant miss the prominent Red Building @ 260 Ottery Rd where you will find friendly and excellent service. Call them you wont be sorry!!!!! Thank you again Springfield Gearbox, you have a customer advocate for life!!!!

Riaans team made great effort to replace my cars clutch and was unfortunate in that the parts they were supplied with left the car with a shudder. A second clutch kit resulted with the same shudder. We later found out that only Mazda agents are able to source the original clutch and Springfield refunded me fully despite enduring huge costs in parts and labour. Always open and honest with me and always offered great service while being available to talk. Well done guys! Im very impressed with your healthy business ethic and fantastic service.
