Worried about what your transmission service will cost?
We understand that an unexpected transmission or gearbox problem can put pressure on your budget. That's why Marshall Transmissions offers a range of car maintenance financing and insurance options, so you can get back on the road without added stress.
Our friendly transmission and automatic gearbox specialists know that car servicing and transmission repair costs can add up quickly. We work with a number of trusted financial lenders and mechanical insurance companies to help make your payments manageable, whatever your situation.
If you're not sure which option suits you best, give our team a call. We're happy to talk you through your choices before any work begins.
Our car maintenance financing partners
Your experience matters to us, so we offer a range of payment options, including Q Mastercard, Farmers Card, Mastercard and Visa.
We also recommend the following financing options to help spread the cost of your repair.
MTF Finance
MTF Finance specialises in personal and vehicle lending, and is a trusted option for car maintenance financing.
MTF offers both secured loans (using a vehicle or other asset, often with a lower interest rate) and unsecured loans, so you can choose the option that suits your circumstances.
Forlongs Finance
As a partner with Forlongs Financing, we accept payment through the Forlongs card. Forlongs offers a simple way to pay your transmission repair costs off gradually, rather than all at once.
All you need to do is sign up for a Forlongs card. Once approved, you can use it to pay for your repair in manageable monthly instalments, and it stays available for any future servicing or repairs as well.
Q Mastercard
With a Q Mastercard, you can enjoy a minimum of three months' interest-free, payment-free^ on all standard purchases, with no minimum spend.
It's a straightforward way to cover your repair now and pay it off over time, without interest charges eating into your budget in the short term.
WINZ / Work and Income
If you're on a low income or receiving a benefit, Work and Income (WINZ) may be able to help with the cost of essential car repairs through a recoverable assistance payment. This is a loan rather than a grant, so it does need to be paid back, but it can take the immediate pressure off if your car is essential for work, health, disability support, or getting around where public transport isn't a practical option.
Work and Income doesn't cover routine costs like fuel, registration, standard servicing, or your WOF, but essential repairs such as transmission faults may qualify. If you'd like to apply, you can contact Work and Income directly on 0800 559 009. If it's helpful for your application, we're happy to provide a written quote for your repair.
Protecta / Assurant
Protecta Insurance has rebranded to Assurant (the same company, trusted since 1986, now operating under its global parent brand). You may still see it referred to as either Protecta or Assurant, so we've included both names here.
Assurant provides mechanical breakdown insurance and vehicle protection plans that cover the cost of repairing sudden mechanical or electrical faults, including many transmission and gearbox issues. As an approved repairer, we can assess your vehicle, confirm what's covered, and submit your claim directly to Assurant, so you only need to worry about any policy excess.
Quest Insurance
Quest Insurance offers mechanical breakdown insurance designed to protect you against the cost of unexpected mechanical and electrical failures, including transmission problems. Cover is available for vehicles up to 300,000km, with claim limits that depend on your vehicle's age and mileage.
If you have a Quest Insurance policy, we'll carry out a diagnostic assessment, then contact Quest's claims team directly to confirm cover and get your repair approved before we start work. Quest policies typically exclude routine servicing, general wear and tear, and pre-existing faults, so it's worth checking your policy documents if you're unsure whether your specific issue is covered.
Janssen
Janssen Insurance offers a range of mechanical breakdown cover, including EliteCover and EliteCoverPlus for petrol and diesel vehicles, and EcoCover for hybrid and electric vehicles. These policies can cover a wide range of components, often including specialised parts like sensors and suspension systems, and the cover typically transfers free of charge if you sell your car.
If you hold a Janssen policy, let us know when you book your vehicle in. We can talk you through what's covered, confirm the details with Janssen, and take care of the claim so your transmission repair is sorted with as little hassle as possible.
Autosure
Autosure specialises in mechanical breakdown insurance, and is a trusted option for covering unexpected repair costs before they happen.
Autosure covers the cost of mechanical faults so a major repair bill doesn't catch you off guard. It's a reliable way to protect your vehicle for the long term.
Not sure which option is right for you?
Every situation is different, and the best payment option depends on your circumstances, your vehicle, and whether you already hold a mechanical insurance policy. Get in touch with our team and we'll help you work out the most practical, cost-effective way forward.
