Mike and Betty are wonderful to work with! They are polite and went out of their way to help me with my Ford Focus. For those of you with the 2012, you know of the issues with the transmission; for those that don't, it is the biggest pain the in butt. It jerks horribly between first and second. Anyways... even though Mike was not able to fix it himself (as it is a really wonky transmission type), he found someone with experience on this transmission to help me. Nor did he charge me for anything!!! Husband was also having transmission issues in his Chevy - Mike fixed him right up without killing our savings account. Seriously, best transmission shop in DFW - heck, best in Texas!!!

When my grandfather owned a repair shop, he referred his customers to A-1 United Transmissions. When my friends have transmission problems, I refer them here. When I have problems, I've come here in the past and I'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough. They deserve to be drowned in new business. This is the last transmission shop you will find, because you'll stop looking.

I took my 2000 Ford Mustang to A-1 United Transmissions with a small transmission fluid leak. I thought it might be a ding in the pan, and Mike said he'd be glad to find another one to fit it. I left it there for a day while they looked at it. Turns out it was a gasket that is notorious for leaks, but it was too small for Mike to recommend doing anything about it. Instead, he just suggested checking the fluid levels and keeping it full. The shop charged me nothing for the checkup on my car, and Mike even showed me how to check the fluid level. This shop is honest, fair, and has quality service, and I highly recommend it.

Mike really took care of my truck. I know it may have been slightly unusual but they did a full rebuild and it was ready 24 hours later. Big savings for me did not have to rent a vehicle to keep working.

I wouldn't take my car anywhere else! If it isn't in the categories of what they do fix, they will send you to a place that will and that you can trust!!

My truck needed a transmission rebuild. I took them a full kit with heavy duty parts (650$ kit) and was told the rebuild would cost roughly 1250$. I requested that I was notified when the transmission was out so I could pick up my converter and have it cut/flushed and built up with better parts. I got a phone call 2 days later saying it was ready and that I owed 2700$. I asked why it was twice the estimated amount and they said " i needed hard parts replaced". When I picked up the truck they refused to give me a receipt other that a slip of paper with the total hand written in on half a carbon copy receipt. No work detail or inventory of the "hard parts". About two weeks later first gear started to slip occasionally and there was a screeching noise from the transmission when the TCC was commanded off under 1500 rpm. I broght the truck back to them and they used up nearly a tank of gas driving it around and told me they couldn't hear anything. My wife who knows nothing about cars even noticed it without me saying anything. I picked the truck up and was told to bring it back if it happened again. 10 minutes after leaving the shop about a block away my truck was broken into and very specific things were taken. A couple weeks later after the break in damage was repaired I took my truck back and left it with them while I was out of town. I was told my truck would be kept inside and I would be notified if for some reason it couldn't be put in at night. I called twice and was told that the owner was out of town while I was away. When I got back I received a call saying my truck was left out and had been "hit" and that there was nothing wrong with the transmission. "Didn't miss a lick" was the technical detail I was given. Just over 7k $ in damage was don't to my truck from this breaking and body damage that wasn't there when I dropped it off and over 400 miles where put on the truck.. again it was returned empty .. transmission slipping. A fee days ago the transmission went out completly. Upon disassembly I found that a majority of the kit I purchased was not in the transmission and my converter was replaced with a revision that had a know defect. The defect caused the converter to wine at low rpm when the TCC was comanded off by the computer. I was never asked to sign any authorization for work.. a hold harmless.. or even given a receipt that was anything but a number scribbled on a half of a carbon receipt. The owner took no responsibility for anything and didn't even say sorry. His exact words were "boy someone has it in for you". I have filed a complaint with the attorney generals office. Oh and I almost forgot to mention. When I dropped my truck off with one of the shop employees the first time after the initial repair. He said yes! Sighed when I told him why I was there and slammed his gun up on the counter as he sat down, blowing cigarette smoke in my face... If I remember correctly his name was Tommy. Very shady people.

I had a car with a sick transmission, wouldn't shift into 6th gear,,I didn't know if I should trade the car in or repair. Mike was very straight forward from the moment I meet him. In the long run, after his advice, I traded in the car. It would have been easy for him to tell me they could take the transmission out, tear it down and see exactly what was wrong, but he gave me some rough estimates of what the repair could be based on his initial diagnosis. He seemed more interested in me making the right decision than him getting work out of it It's hard to find mechanics that will be 'straight up' with you, and it seems especially when it comes to transmission,,,believe me, if I ever have a transmission problem, I will only go to A-1

Car: 2007 Chevy Avalanche A 1 United Transmission did an excellent job of explaining the problem and fixing the issue quickly. They laid everything out upfront and allow me to make an informed decision. I felt totally comfortable with the entire experience and I highly recommend them!
