No stars would be the best review. Took my girlfriends Acura here for a transmission issue, the car won't shift into fourth gear. They told me no problem, they will look at it and call back in an hour....eight hours later right before they close they call and tell us to pick the car up because they can't fix it, and now it won't start! They told her to be careful because if she turns it off it won't turn back on. Not a very specialist transmission shop if you ask me. They didn't charge us for wrecking her car by the way. Do not go here!

I took my Z28 Camaro here as well as my crown Victoria. Both of my cars were treated with respect and the staff was amazing. They also have a beautiful dog who loves attention! I meant to write this review earlier! I will be returning soon as all 3 of my cars need service. Thanks for being amazing and polite.

Very bad experience with company when they rebuilt the transmission in my car. After paying $2800 I had to take my car back 5 times and still, 3 months later my car is not fixed. Now they have stated that I need to take it to an engine mechanic to have the travel position sensor fixed. Apparently that is something that needs to be adjusted anytime you replace or rebuild a transmission. However, in talking to numerous transmission shops, that piece is included in their work. Also, the company took my car to the dealer to have them scan the transmission without my permission. Who takes someone car to be looked at or worked on by another mechanic without authorization?? And then they claimed that my car was not at the dealer that they worked on it all day. However, I bought the car from the dealer so the dealer contacted me; wondering why my car was there, as when transmission specialists dropped my car they stated that they didn't know who the owner was, nor did they know anything about the car. These guys are trying to get out of finishing the job that they were paid for. I've been back 5 times for help but no such luck. Now, I've spent nearing $3K but my car is still not shifting properly. These guys are dishonest and shouldn't be allowed to take another cent from anyone else. Very very hard lesson to have learned!

Honest, and Reliable

My 2004 ford explorer was acting funny, so I took it in and it was a simple fix! They didn't try to sell me like ScAAMCO did on a new Transmisison. Thank you so much!

Transmission Specialists

The Transmission Repair was outstanding. No complaints. To the previous poster that said the employee wanted to do a deal on the side you should have notified the managment/owner.

Impressive

I have had problems with AAMCO in the past so I decided to try a shop with a good reputation. Transmission Specialists were able to fix my problem and I havent had any trouble since! Thanks again and I will definatley refer my friends to you guys!

I was working in woodland and my dodge 4x4 broke down out on the hwy on Thursday with a blown out overdrive unit that blew up. As I was laying n the ground trying to assess the damage a vehicle pulls up an its Curtis, the owner of Transmission Specialists. We had my vehicle towed to his shop (mind you i didn't get pd until the following day and they paid for my towing) and actually had an overdrive unit at the shop in stock. By 4pm the following day after they let me join in with them for free pizza and pop and letting me work out of their lobby, they had me running and out the door again...... not sitting on the side of the road until I got paid on Friday like I expected I was going to have to do. We worked out a deal for the remaining 200.00+change which I didn't have and they granted me the ability to be mobile and continue making money. To top it off, I received a courtesy call from the office manager who was wanting to make sure the truck was doing fine and to make sure I was comfortable with the work I received. To that I'll say yes indeed and I'm super satisfied with the job and allowances they made for me in my situation......cause I woulda been screwed if I tried to do it myself. So for anyone considering using this shop, my answer to that is a big YES although I hope you don't have to throw your whole paycheck at such an unexpected expense

They recently rebuilt my Toyota transmission. It was done in 2 days and at a fair price. Very pleasant to deal with. Car runs great!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS SHOP! I have had the misfortune of taking three vehicles to this repair shop and must to say don't make the same mistake I made. I have had 2 transmissions rebuilt and a rear axle done here. The first vehicle that I took to this shop I had the transmission rebuilt and it is still in good running condition. I took another vehicle to have the rear end looked at and I was told it needed to be rebuilt. Al quoted the rear end rebuild costing approximately $2300 but don't remember the exact figure. I requested a breakdown on the cost and labor was roughly $700 and roughly $1600 for parts.....pretty steep! Al's explanation for such a high cost on the parts was that there wasn't rebuild kit available so each part needs to be purchased separately. Can you say liar! After calling around(literally 15 minutes) I located the parts needed in a kit for $900 less than what Transmission Specialists had quoted me. Odd since Al had said a kit was not available therefore time consuming and more expensive getting all of the parts. Since I found the exact same parts considerably cheaper I asked them if they would do the install if I were to supply them with the parts. Hesitantly they agreed. When I went to pick the parts up one of the gentleman behind the counter asked me if I was from Transmission Specialists because they had asked for the same rebuild kit. Bizarre.....it appears that Al was getting the same parts from the same place I was getting them but wanting to charge me more than double what they were paying. I would love to make 130% plus or minus on customers but I have a conscience. They probably get them for even less because they are a shop with a business relationship with this place. I unfortunately also had the transmission rebuilt in another vehicle by Transmission Specialists prior to the situation with the rear end rebuild. 18 months after that transmission was rebuilt with only 35K miles on it the rear planetary(part of the transmission) was toast. Al's explanation for this was that the radiator must be plugged up and consequently the transmission overheated. Unfortunately they only offer a 12 month 12K mile warranty on their work. I now understand why their warranty is so limited. Al quoted the repair costing me $2714.78, $460.77 to R/R radiator and $2351.01 to rebuild the transmission again and minus $100 for an online coupon(how generous). These figures are exact because they are recent and I have them on my voicemail. I had no intention of paying to have anything done there again. I thought that they would man up and say this should not have happened and we will do this free of charge or at least little expense, after all it had only 35K miles since the rebuild. I should have known they wouldn't since they tried to rip me off just a year prior on the rear end repair. I decided to get a second opinion and surprise surprise another shop said something very different. It was obvious that the transmission needed to be rebuilt but the radiator was fine. The other shop informed me that my vehicle had an external cooler separate from the radiator. Hmmm, why was I told that the radiator needed replacement? Also, the external cooler was not plugged because it was flushed and had no obstruction. So the transmission could not have overheated as I was told by Al and the repairs Transmission Specialists said were necessary were definitely NOT necessary. When the transmission was removed and taken apart I was also told that whomever did the rebuild "did not do me any favors", in other words they cut corners. Long story short, I had my vehicle repaired elsewhere for less money and a warranty of 3 years and 36K miles. You do the math, don't forget about how Transmission Specialists will do whatever they can to attempt to rip you off.

I took my blazer to this shop with major problems. They diagnosed the numerous issues pretty quickly an promptly gave me a quotes for basic repairs up to building a transmission that would last all the punishment I dish out. My new trans was installed quickly an hasn't had a single issue since.

People are nice but they do not know what they are doing. My vehicle has been there 3 times and they still haven't fixed the transmission. They take it to the dealer. I have been telling people about their great prices. But it's not worth my time.

Excellent Transmission Repair!

I had my ford explorer towed to their shop because they are one of the only shops in the area that are AAA approved so I already trusted their service. Honest and up front about the whole process and I even got a coupon from their website!

Transmission Specialists

repair tech told me upper and lower belt pulleys needed replacement and he could do this on the side (belt was causing squeal, pulleys were fine)
