About Us

Over 40 Years of Expertise

One Roof, Two Specialisms

Marshall Automotive and Marshall Transmissions share a workshop at 78 Greenwood Street, Frankton, giving Hamilton and Waikato drivers a genuine one-stop shop for vehicle repair and maintenance. Marshall Automotive handles general mechanical servicing, WOF inspections and diagnostics, while Marshall Transmissions is Hamilton and Te Awamutu's specialist in gearboxes, automatic transmissions and clutch repairs. Between the two teams, most jobs can be diagnosed, quoted and completed in a single visit, without the runaround of multiple workshops.

Our History

Marshall Transmissions has been part of the Waikato motoring scene for more than 40 years, building a reputation as the region's trusted gearbox, transmission and clutch specialist. In 2015, ownership passed to Dustin Phillips, a car enthusiast who brought experience gained running both mainstream and prestige dealerships. Under his leadership, the business has continued to grow, with an updated structure and modern tools supporting the same commitment to quality that the workshop was built on.

Marshall Automotive has grown alongside this, extending the same standards of transparent pricing and thorough workmanship into general mechanical servicing. Together, the two businesses now operate as a combined workshop, offering the breadth of a full-service garage with the depth of specialist transmission expertise.

Working With Integrity

We know that visiting a mechanic means putting your trust in someone else's hands. Too many drivers have stories of being sold parts and repairs they didn't need. Our teams pride themselves on working with integrity, giving straightforward advice and maintaining the trust of every customer who walks through our doors.

Diagnosed Right,
First Time

Our technicians don't work on a "change a part and hope" basis. Both teams use proper diagnostic equipment and resources to identify the actual problem before starting work, so repairs are accurate the first time. We've invested in the tools our mechanics and transmission specialists need to problem-solve efficiently and get you back on the road safely and quickly.

Ongoing training is a priority across both teams. We attend regular seminars and undertake annual training to keep pace with new vehicles, parts and technology, whether that's the latest transmission systems or general vehicle diagnostics.

Looking After Our Customers

As well as transparent pricing and quick turnarounds, we offer the following services, subject to availability:

  • Waiting room - grab a seat and enjoy the Wi-Fi while we diagnose your car
  • Local vehicle collection - we'll collect your vehicle from a convenient nearby location
  • Local vehicle delivery - we can drop your vehicle back to your home or workplace
  • Customer drop-off service - bring in your car, and we'll drop you off where you need to go

If you're noticing any of these, it's worth getting the vehicle checked before a manageable repair turns into a full replacement.
