Who could repair the gearbox on my 2000 Honda Odyssey?

My son has bought a 2000 Honda Odyssey which was imported into the UK in 2004 for a 'scrap' price of £350. It goes well but has had a bit of trouble in the past with its autobox. I believe this car was sold in the UK as the Honda Shuttle. This car has now done about 100,000 miles. Can you advise of a suitable company to repair the gearbox?

The top man was www.kingautomatics.com, but Trevor is now semi-retired. He may be able to recommend someone else (he's very helpful), or there's www.fedauto.co.uk.
