Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial phone conversation with Justin, he explained the problem and what was required I had a quote sent within half an hour. My car went in and a couple of days later we picked it up. Problem solved, runs great. It was through word of mouth and a good outcome from a mate that I chose to use Ron Hill Automotive and I would definitely recommend to anyone.Posted on Andy DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron Hill fixed the shuddering in one of our fleet vehicles. Their service was fast and professional. They keep you in the loop after the inspection and during the work and speak in lay terms. I would recommend this business.Posted on Adam DemlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fit us in and did in a day so we could wait for it as travelled from Brisbane. New torque converter and valve upgrade . Drives fantastic now.????Posted on Peter ObrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RHA. They are professional and personal. We needed a transmission service for our Toyota Corolla sedan. With the basic details they were able to quote accurately for standard servicing at a great price.They are fast with email and txt time for drop and pickup. We are very satisfied with phone conversation and over the counter friendly care. Recommend for family atmosphere and excellent car care. We'll be back!Posted on David FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Squeezed me in 2 hours after I called to fit a trans cooler, a day before they closed for Christmas. Was insanely helpful as I was traveling through for Chrissy and my trans was cooking after a gvm upgrade. While I was waiting they Dropped and picked me up from the plaza. If I was local I would be back when my service was due.Posted on Bradley AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the auto trans recently serviced @ Ron Hill Automatics, great job from online enquiry, quote, confirmation of booking details, actual job done on time as per quote. My Camry had no issues before and certainly not after, just an ex police car that was seriously overdue for an auto trans service. Good value for money, left feeling confident my auto trans is ready for further work.Posted on andrew NolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took my Navarra in for a transmission service 30,000 Km know it was early was flaring between five and six. They dropped the oil put a new filter on it checked it out. put it all back together. Now it dose not flare from five and six anymore running perfect. nice and smooth thank you very much to Ron Hill automaticsPosted on Adam DevereuxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went for torque converter job. All done and transmission cooler put in.Posted on Greg HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a fantastic experience dealing with Ron Hill Automatics. Yep I was one with one of those dreaded Colorado’s with torque converter issues, I had tried others but only a band aid fix was applied, no stuffing around here, straight to the point, no hidden costs, everything is up front and honest. Dropped the vehicle off midday Wednesday and picked it up 7am Friday morning, upgrade applied, new torque converter installed…nothing was a problem. Would I recommend this Team…hell yeah, I’ll be letting everyone I know that has any hint of transmission problems to get in touch with them. Many thanks AKPosted on A K
Transmission Performance Upgrades for Towing, Touring & 4wd's
If your 4WD tows, goes off road or you simply want to maximise your automatic transmission’s longevity and reliability, tailored upgrades improve how it handles load, heat and demanding driving conditions. Our packages are built to maintain shift quality, manage temperature and extend durability, giving you a transmission that performs consistently when you need it to.
Valve Body Upgrade
Upgrading the valve body increases torque capability, improves load handling and enhances shift feel for a stronger, more reliable transmission. This refined hydraulic recalibration produces quicker, more consistent shifts and greater durability. Whether you tow, drive off road or want longer service life, it provides a more confident and dependable driving experience.
Transmission Cooling System Upgrade
Upgrading your transmission cooling system is a proactive way to prevent overheating, reduce wear and extend the lifespan of your automatic. Stable temperatures mean more consistent performance, especially when towing or driving in demanding conditions. It is a smart investment for any owner wanting improved reliability, durability and peace of mind under heavy load.
Torque Converter Lock-up Control Upgrade
A lock-up controller reduces transmission heat by reducing converter slip, the main source of temperature in an automatic transmission. By engaging the clutch earlier and holding it longer, it provides stronger engine braking, better control and lower operating temperatures. This upgrade gives you a cooler, more responsive transmission and a driving experience with improved control under load.
Transmission Remapping
Transmission remapping refines the control system to improve shift timing, gear selection and torque delivery. It reduces unnecessary gear hunting and sharpens response under varying loads. This upgrade is especially effective for vehicles running larger tyres, engine tunes or carrying heavy loads, providing smoother behaviour, better torque access and more consistent performance in demanding conditions.
Temperature Monitoring Devices
Transmission temperature monitoring gives you real time fluid data and early alerts when heat rises beyond safe limits. By allowing you to react instantly, it helps you prevent wear and heat related damage. Ideal for towing or steep inclines, it supports informed decisions and lets you adjust your driving behaviour under demanding conditions.
Transmission Sump Upgrade
A deep sump upgrade increases your transmission’s fluid capacity, giving the hydraulic system more volume for heat dissipation and contaminant absorption. This helps keep temperatures lower under load and can extend service intervals. By improving cooling efficiency and fluid stability, a deep sump supports better reliability and longer transmission life in demanding conditions.
