Sidney, BC — May 25, 2026 — Peninsula Transmission + Automotive is pleased to announce its upcoming opening in Sidney, BC, slated for July 2026. The new full-service automotive repair shop is preparing to serve drivers across Sidney, North Saanich, and the surrounding Saanich Peninsula with a wide range of transmission and general automotive services.

In a major step toward opening day, the shop has just completed installing four new hoists — a key piece of infrastructure that will enable Peninsula Transmission + Automotive to service multiple vehicles efficiently from day one. The added bay capacity positions the business to handle steady demand from local drivers while maintaining short turnaround times.

"Sidney and North Saanich have been underserved when it comes to dedicated transmission and full-service automotive work, and we're excited to fill that gap," said Peter Willie Jr,, owner of Peninsula Transmission + Automotive. "Getting our four hoists installed is a big milestone — it means we're ready to take on real volume as soon as we open the doors."

When the shop opens its doors in July 2026, Peninsula Transmission + Automotive will offer a full range of automotive services, including transmission repair and rebuilds, transmission service and maintenance, general mechanical repair, brake service, suspension work, diagnostics, and routine maintenance for both domestic and import vehicles. The shop will service cars, light trucks, and SUVs.

The business is being built around a straightforward philosophy: honest diagnostics, clear explanations, and quality workmanship that local drivers can rely on. With transmission specialists on staff alongside experienced general technicians, Peninsula Transmission + Automotive aims to be a one-stop shop for Peninsula-area drivers — eliminating the need to drive into Victoria for specialized transmission work.

The Sidney location was selected specifically to serve the growing Peninsula community, where many residents have long had to travel further afield for major automotive and transmission service. The shop's location and capacity have been planned with that local demand in mind.

Peninsula Transmission + Automotive will share additional updates in the lead-up to opening, including hours of operation, booking details, and a grand opening announcement. Drivers interested in learning more or being notified when the shop opens can visit the company's website.
