OUR ASSOCIATION

OUR ASSOCIATION

The Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) is the world’s largest trade organization of transmission rebuilders, transmission specialists, and transmission part suppliers with over 2000 members throughout the United States and Canada. ATRA is your premier source for transmission repair information and transmission problem solving. Our mission is to provide you with the resources needed to keep your transmission running, or get it fixed quickly. Whether you are looking for transmission service advice, transmission maintenance, simple transmission repair, or a complete transmission rebuild, an ATRA member nearby is ready to help.

The ATRA Australasian Chapter is a recognised chapter of ATRA USA and serves to promote the general welfare of its constituents throughout Australia and New Zealand.  This chapter offers members networking and training opportunities they could not realise on a National or International level. The primary purpose of this chapter is to engage in local activities that directly affect and enhance the transmission rebuilding industry. These activities may include but are not limited to:

• Working with the local community and education institutions to help train technicians, and for job placement.
• Local advertising that promotes business for ATRA members throughout the Australasian region.
• Meeting with members to discuss business topics and programs.
• Provide technical and management seminars.

Fixing transmission problems is our specialty. Whether its transmission maintenance, simple transmission repair, or a complete transmission rebuild, you can be sure there is an ATRA member nearby to help. Having problems with your check engine light? One of our local members can help. Looking for transmission service advice?

And not just automatic transmission repair, most ATRA members also provide diagnostic and repair service for manual transmissions, clutches, differentials, driveshafts, drive axles, and transfer cases. Which all boils down to one inevitable conclusion: If your car starts but doesn’t move, you need to call your nearby ATRA Rebuilder Member…right away!

Why Choose an ATRA Member?

Automatic transmissions are more complicated, have more parts and operate at higher temperatures than older transmissions.  The specialists who repair them require higher skill levels than ever. Hands-on experience is not enough to keep them abreast of today’s technology. ATRA technicians supplement their high skill levels by subscribing to ATRA USA, MotorTech and a wide variety of other technical services and training. This ensures repairs are undertaken in accordance with manufacturers specifications and procedures and provides consumers peace of mind their vehicle is in safe hands.  For all drive-line services or repairs, feel confident in dealing with an ATRA member.
