Automatic cars are now very common here in karachi.....................and about the availability of mechanics, small problems can be handled by any typical mechanic, electrician etc. Transmission will not bother you for years if you mantain the auto transmission fluid and drive your car decently. And even then if something goes wrong...............you can go to usman bhai (in dastagir) or any other auto tranny specialist and get ur problem ixed for a long time...........
