A Name With Meaning. A Commitment Since 1986.
Since 1986, Daniel Transmission has helped drivers and businesses across Woodbridge, Vaughan and the GTA get back on the road, with careful diagnosis, clear explanations and transmission work done right.
Helping Ontario Drivers Get Back to What Matters
Every vehicle carries something important: a family heading home, a tradesperson travelling to a job, or a business delivering on its promises. At Daniel Transmission, repairing a transmission means helping people get back to the routines and responsibilities that matter.
Established in 1986, Daniel Transmission serves drivers and businesses from our shop in Woodbridge, Ontario. Our approach centres on understanding the problem, explaining the options and treating each vehicle with care.

From Shush (Susa) to Woodbridge
Imagine two places separated by thousands of kilometres. For our brand story, the shrine in Shush (Susa) offers a meaningful symbol: something valued across generations, cared for over time, and remembered through its name. That connection is symbolic. It expresses the values we want the Daniel name to represent in our everyday work.
A Place to Pause and Reflect
A historic shrine traditionally associated with the prophet Daniel, a place of remembrance with significance for people across religious traditions.
A Workshop Built on Care
A transmission workshop that, since 1986, has welcomed people facing a practical concern: a vehicle that no longer performs as it should.

From the Shrine of Daniel to a Woodbridge Workshop
In the ancient city of Shush (Susa) in Iran stands a shrine traditionally associated with the prophet Daniel. It is a place of remembrance with significance for people across religious traditions, valued across generations, cared for over time and remembered through its name.
Imagine two places separated by thousands of kilometres. In Shush (Susa), a historic shrine invites people to pause and reflect. In Woodbridge, a transmission workshop welcomes people facing a practical concern: a vehicle that no longer performs as it should. Their purposes are different, yet our story connects them through patience, responsibility and respect for the people who arrive at the door.
A reputation, like a lasting landmark, needs care. It grows through attention to small details, the willingness to listen and the responsibility to stand behind the work you undertake.
Patience. Responsibility. Respect.
Two places thousands of kilometres apart, connected by the same values we bring to every vehicle that comes through our door.
Patience
We listen first and take the time to understand how your vehicle behaves before any testing begins.
Responsibility
We stand behind our assessment and the work we undertake, and we tell you exactly what we find.
Respect
We respect your time, your budget and the role your vehicle plays in your family or your business.

Our History Begins in 1986
The Daniel Transmission story began in 1986. Since then, vehicles and transmission technology have changed considerably. Drivers now encounter a wider range of systems, from conventional automatic and manual transmissions to CVTs, dual clutch units and hybrid applications.
Our service offering meets these needs with transmission inspections, computerized diagnostics, maintenance, repairs, rebuilding and replacement. The purpose remains straightforward: help customers understand their transmission concerns and choose a suitable next step.
Sometimes that conversation begins with a warning light. Sometimes it starts with slipping, delayed engagement, a fluid leak or an unfamiliar noise. Whatever brings you to our shop, listening carefully is an essential part of the process.
