We had an Iveco Stralis in our workshop for three weeks losing us money, we rang Shane and he was out to us the same day to collect the actuator and returned it fully working. (E.C.U Issue).
Excellent work and saved us a fortune on main dealer costs, Would thoroughly recommend Airtronics for a fast turn around at an affordable price.
Many Thanks
Al from Derbyshire.

I had an issue with the actuator leaking air on our as tronic gearbox and after talking to Shane about the fault he assured me that his refurbished actuator would have us up and running in no time,
True to his word he had the item delivered the next day and not only repaired the air leak but made the gear changes smoother
Extremely friendly service, great product at a great price, would not hesitate to use again
Thank you Shane

I had lost a lot of money fitting a couple modulators from South Africa, I finally came across ATS. After fitting their unit the truck drives like it is coming from the factory, seamlessly shifting up and down with no hiccup. To anyone thinking twice about ATS, these guys are the really deal they come with real time support for people as far as Zimbabwe like me. Thumps to Shane and co.
Thanks.

Certainly went the extra mile to get the unit working again ASAP for us. Would highly recommend to use time and time again. Certainly knows his stuff on the boxes! Talked us through each stage which made it easier to understand and get fixed correctly!

We had a problem with a Auto ZF gearbox top we tried our local supplier to repair the part 3 times costing us down time and labour costs in our garage to keep removing and refitting the part which was never fixed. We found Shane on the web and he came out the same day to collect and returned the next day problem sorted at less than half the price from my normal local supplier Shane now gets all our work when required.
Many thanks

Just echoing the reviews of Shane’s other customers. We had a coach with a faulty board which was blowing fuses on our Mercedes coach. We sent the complete modulator in to Shane at Airtronics and are very satisfied with the service we received. Clearly by talking to Shane on the phone you can tell that he is very experienced in his field and gives you confidence that the job is going to be done right. I feel that AirTronics went over and above what was expected to get our modulator up and running again. I hope we don’t have any further modulator problems but if we do, we would definitely be using AirTronics again. Would recommend Shane to anyone with an AS Tronic gearbox.
Thanks again from Chris at Wilkins Coaches

After having one of our Vanhool TX coaches not been able select any gear, we purchased a re manufactured GS3 modulator from Shane at ATS who kindly delivered it in person. New modulator fitted and now back on the road, the coach drives like a different vehicle, very smooth changes through the box I can’t believe the difference.
Shane is very helpful and we will definitely use him again for any future failures within our fleet.

We had a unit off the road for 3 weeks with what started as a faulty Modulator, then we had a Speed sensor issue with the replacement.
Shane diagnosed the problem almost immediately, unit was back on the road next day.
It’s nice to find someone that really knows his stuff, highly recommended and we will defiantly use him again.

I operate a haulage company in Bulgaria and have trucks in the U.K. making deliveries all the time. My driver reported that he had lost automatic and could only drive in manual, I found ATS on the internet and contacted Shane who arranged the delivery of a replacement Modulator to a garage in London where my driver would arrive the same day to have the unit fitted.
The transfer of the payment for the unit was very easy and included the surcharge to be refunded when the faulty unit was sent back. Shane spoke with the mechanics and instructed them on how to fit the Modulator as they were not familiar with fitting this part, the next day Shane arranged the collection of the faulty Modulator and I was refunded my surcharge. The whole process of the purchase, delivery, fitting and return was excellent and I cannot thank Shane enough for his very professional customer service. I would recommend ATS and Shane to all my fellow countrymen and to any other European drivers who have a Modulator fault.
Many Many thanks Shane.

We are a small passenger transportation (tourist bus rental) company from Lithuania. We have repeatedly encountered problems with the ZF Astronic gearbox shift modulators, that we needed a solution for. Passenger transportation is a very responsible business, and the bus repairs are not easy either, so we needed a reliable and inexpensive solution. And there I found Airtronics Transmission Services with Mr. Shane Collinge (thanks to Google). Nice and businesslike communication, even off workhours (which was surprising for me) has left me with a very good impression. I have never met this person but now I can tell for sure that you can trust him. Thank you, Shane, for a well done job.

Mark Curley –
Struggled with vehicle stuck in Neutral gear. After consulting with different companies and paying for engineers to test the vehicle, we were still none the wiser. At last we were passed the info of ATS and gave them a ring. Shane spoke to me in person and quickly identified the possible causes over the phone. We had the unit with Shane the same day as the diagnosis and it was ready for collection within 24 hours !
During the fitting process Shane had made it clear that I could ring him with any further questions I had during installing the unit. Shane obviously has extensive knowledge and experience with these gearbox units. He was easy to talk to and clearly laid out the costs and the process of testing the unit.
The Vehicle now drives perfectly
Thank you very much Shane 5 stars

We had an air pressure fault with loss of gears on DAF XF euro 6. Shane gave us very good advise and excellent service. The truck was back on the road quickly and at a fraction of the dealer cost.

I had a problem with my Iveco Euro 5, it had an air low issue and couldn’t engage into neutral. The gearbox was leaking air from the side and I contacted Shane the man. Who was quick in response and after I explained my situation he told me I needed to replace my pneumatic component. After some back and forth I paid for the component 5 days later it was here in Zambia via DHL. Fitted it and the rest is history. Thanks Shane

Over the past year we’ve had issues with two of our vehicles on the fleet, both being transmission related.
We’re a large Isle of Man based transport firm with a massive fleet consisting of a depot in Skelmersdale.
We got in touch with Shane regarding our issues, explaining all the testing we had carried out and a follow up plan to resolve the problems as down time to us is critical being where we are based..
Between us a plan was drawn up..the modulators were removed and sent to Shane who turned them round pretty much instantaneously and got them back to the Island..through old school explanation and what I mean by that he run through the installation with precision, meticulousness but in such a way that it was so easy to understand, I mean were all engineers but Shane treated you like a person and no question was ever silly to him as he answered with no hesitation and complete confidence which is why a full recommendation is given by us to anyone who requires such a professional service by a professional team with the best aftermarket support..
In the world we are in know doubt its all about making money and getting stuff out as quickly as possible and not caring about aftermarket, well I can safely and wholehearted say we at manx Independent Carriers Isle of Man do not entertain this work ethic as we strive to do the best for our customers and staff and the industry, and this is why Shane at Airtronics fits into our work ethic and is a true ambassador to Airtronic Transmission Services..
I don’t want to bleat on, but the primary and aftermarket support we’ve had and are still receiving goes far and beyond expectation..
Keep up the good work and thankyou for all your support and valuable advice.

We had an issue with a zf automatic gearbox in a daf xf.
Shane was so helpful and so obliging and any problem we had Shane would talk us through. I couldn’t recommend Airtonics Transmission Services enough definitely will be back again!
Paul braham –
I had a fantastic quick service from Shane, had a Daf 106 with Modulator issues, I phoned Shane up and he came across to Barnsley to pick it up at dinner time, by 5pm the Modulator was back at Barnsley ready to be refitted. Thank you Shane for your response. Paul. @ chas braham
John Lakeland –
Had an issue with as tronic gearbox stuck in gear. Coach wouldn’t start. Heard lots of horror stories about the cost of repairs by the usual suspects. Just by chance I saw a YouTube video of Chris Allen professional struggler who had a guy doing a tutorial of the AS tronic box. That guy was Shane. If you watch the video it will give you an insight of what to expect. We contacted Shane who picked our gearbox lid up the same day tested it that evening and returned it the following afternoon. The lid looked brand new . The whole unit looked like it was straight from the factory. Shane spent 2 hrs explaining how to put it back on the coach . Nothing was too much trouble. A true professional. Use this company ! You will not be disappointed.

Had problems with AS top plate, posted to Shane and had it returned within 3 days and looks like brand new. Fitted it and it’s working perfectly. Strongly recommend Shane and will be giving him a call in the future if we have any other issues.
andy beevers –
Advised by main dealer to contact Shane due to modulator issues.
Unit collected Saturday pm returned and fitted Monday am.
Fantastic service and great depth of knowledge.
Would recommend to anybody. Brilliant
Alex Whietehead –
I can easily say that Shane and ATS’s services were second to none, from communication to pricing and quality, to follow up service.
We had a faulty modulator causing our CF85-460 to shut down repeatedly which Shane rebuilt to perfection and had shipped back to us here in Barbados within approximately 4 days. On top of this, Shane checked in with us on a consistent basis until we had refitted the unit and he knew we were back up and running.
I highly recommend Shane and ATS to anyone.
Thanks again

Hi All,
My Iveco Stralis 460 was going into neutral by itself with ETC warning 9B, A3 and AL on the dash. We thought its the clutch actuator but that did not fix the problem.
Finally my regular mechanic diagnosed that it’s the faulty ZF Airtonic modulator that is creating the problem.
I had a quote from few suppliers here in Australia but I wasn’t very impressed with the price as it was going to cost me a fortune to buy a new unit in here in Australia.
I decided to go online and search for the modulator and that’s when my good time started.
I found Airtronic Transmission Services and watched a video on their website which was extremely knowledgeable. It was nearly 54 minutes that explains everything about the modulator units and how to remove it and install it.
After watching the video I was very impressed and decided to call Airtronic Transmission Services straight away.
Shane answered the phone call and we were engaged in the conversation for more than 45 minutes. Shane was extremely polite, helpful and sounded very knowledgeable, genuine and trustworthy.
Shane explained everything about the modulator and advised to check with the mechanic to whether it’s GS3.3 or GS3.6 to save us time and not receiving the wrong modulator.
Furthermore, Shane spoke to my mechanic as well and he was also highly impressed with Shane’s customer service and wealth of knowledge regarding the ZF tronic modulators.
I requested Shane to send the bottom half of the modulator here in Perth. Shane was very open and honest about the prices, custom duty that I might get charged and also the delivery charges through DHL.
Shane placed the order in the system and started the process almost immediately. Shane also made and send the video of the modulator unit and the packaging in which it was getting delivered.
The GS3.3 bottom half was sent on Thursday from UK and was arrived in DHL warehouse facility on Saturday after cleaing the customs.
I picked up the unit from DHL on Monday morning and very impressed how it arrived. It was very clean, looked brand new and very secure and tightly wrapped exactly as shown in the video sent by Shane.
The whole process of the purchase and delivery was very smooth, hassle free and excellent.
My truck is now back on the road and is changing the gears very smoothly with no warnings on the dash.
Once again Shane, Thank you very much for all your help. You are an amazing person and it was a great pleasure to deal with you.
I highly recommend Airtronic Transmission Services to everyone.
Kind Regards,
Jagjeet Dua

John Lakeland . Lakeland coaches –
Yet again we have had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Shane at Airtronics.
Coach would not go above 5th gear then into neutral and spanner on dash. Took the lid off Shane picked it up an hour later came back with it the same day. Back on the road the following morning. amazing service which you just don’t get anymore. He brought his uncle with him for the ride what a character. Thanks again
Melvin Klippenstein from Ontario Canada –
Received a GS3.3 complete unit, very impressed how it arrived, very secure tightly wrapped, it was very clean. great and efficient service.
I will be using Shane from Airtronics from now on, Shane was very helpful and went that extra mile, to help us out.
Shane was sooo helpful. We have a 2008 Setra S417 56 passenger coach bus. We used a few repair shops here in Canada. spent money but could never get our issue fixed. Shane knew his stuff inside and out. Talking to him on the phone he knew what I was supposed to see and what to expect. He shipped the part via DHL.
Honest and a fair man. I was a bit worried at first just because of the distance and all but very quickly caught on he was the man and the place to go. Sent us a video what to expect and how to do it. He followed up with us making sure we were happy.
We had so many issues with our tranny and no one here in Ontario Canada could figure out what was wrong and what to do. Shane, over on the other side of the world helped and fixed our rig. Works perfect.
I would recommend him. There should be a 10 star LOL
Freddie Barclay – Fox Feeds Ltd –
A real pleasure to deal with. Shane was helpful from the second he picked up the phone.
Shane has helped us get a truck back on the road that would otherwise be parked up – many thanks!
Alex – KB Coaches Ltd. –
Massive Thankyou and recommendations to Shane. We had been having trouble with our AS Tronic Gearbox for a while and upon being let down by someone else. We were able to get a very quick weekend turn around from ATS we sent our lid off on the Friday and had the new one back by the following Tuesday.
Highly Recommend
5 Stars
Dave Merry –
Five stars just isn’t a high enough rating for the service Shane provides. Happy to talk you through every aspect of the problem and share all his extensive knowledge to assist in any way he can. A truck which has been giving us issues for quite some time is now back on the road thanks to ATS.
If you are having AS Tronic headaches just give Shane a call.
Ugo Emeanuwa –
Had a GMK 3050-1 crane down with a defective modulator which was not immediately diagnosed right.
After it became obvious the modulator was the likely issue Shane came to the rescue and It only took less than 1 week
and our machine was up and running again.
5 Star personality and service I must say. Man knows his stuff and saved us a huge bill.
Would recommend to anyone any day.

Nicolae Iancu –
I’ll start my review saying that 5 stars are not enought for Shane. He deserve more then that.
So, I’ll make a long story short. I left Valencia with my Daf xf106 of 2015 having no problem and I barely arrived in Manchester Sunday morning, having hundreds of dashboard alarms with “Transmission malfunction” and real problem with my AS Tronic gearbox function. Payed a visit to Daf service in Manchester. After a diagnosis process, they told me the gearbox modulator must be replaced. Unfortunatelly, I couldn’t afford to replace it at Daf service, because of the huge price they asked for and please trust me, it was huge. I start looking for other solutions. Then I found Shane, who provided me the best services possible. After some clarifications about what’s happening with my truck, because Im not a specialist, he came where my truck was parked and replaced the gearbox modulator. Since then my truck has been working perfectly. He is a real profesional. I totally recomand you to work with him. Muchas gracias Shane
