What we do

A one-stop shop for the driveline and the everyday jobs around it. Specialists first, and a full service centre for everything else.

Why garages send their gearbox work to us

  • 49 years of transmissions. Established 1977 and approaching our 50th year, one of the largest re-manufacturers of manual transmissions in the North West.
  • Six ramps, two workshops. Real capacity, which is why same-day appointments are usually possible, and why dealers use us for overflow.
  • Reconditioned gearboxes on the shelf. Stripped, rebuilt and checked in-house, with a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty in writing.
  • The parts the manufacturers fit. LUK, Valeo, Exedy and Sachs by name, not vague “quality parts”.

  • Can't recommend Top Gear enough. If you have a gearbox problem, this is the place. Good honest people who won't rip you off, a very quick turnaround, and genuine specialists at what they do. The gearbox on my BMW 3 Series completely went, and I'd been quoted silly money and long waiting times elsewhere just to diagnose it. Top Gear booked me in that week and had the car fixed and back on the road the same day it arrived. Sam and Ernie made my life a lot easier. Thank you.

  • My local garage checked my car for what I thought was a clutch problem, but the team spotted it was the gearbox and recommended Top Gear in Aigburth. I spoke to Ernie, who told me to bring it in the same day. Mark took it for a drive, found the problem and had it back to me in under 24 hours, at a competitive price. A big thank you to Ernie, Mark, Sam and all the team. I would definitely recommend this garage for clutch and gearbox problems.

  • This is the place for gearbox repairs, definitely the best. I've had a few done over the years: quality, quick and reliable. These people do what they say. Simply the best. Don't mess with the others, just use these guys.

  • Brilliant service. They diagnosed the problem within an hour of dropping the car off, replaced the bearings and seals in the gearbox, and had the car back within two working days. Would highly recommend.

  • The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. They talked me through the job that needed doing, replaced the clutch master cylinder, and had the car ready to collect the next day. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you.

  • I called Top Gear only a day before the Easter bank holiday. Mark initially said they were too busy and I'd be without the car until after the long weekend, but he later called back to say it would be ready the next morning. That was an absolute life saver, and I'm so happy with the level of work done. Fast, efficiently dealt with and back on the road. Top marks from me.

  • I want to thank the team for the outstanding service they provided to my deaf uncle. They were patient, respectful, and made sure communication was clear throughout. They explained the work needed and kept him informed in a way that was easy for him to understand. The repair was completed professionally and at a fair price, but what stood out most was the kindness and consideration they showed. It's reassuring to find a business that treats every customer with such care.
