I felt respected & honestly dealt with. My usual mechanic shop recommended this transmission shop & I've recommended this shop to friends & family. I'm a single mom (3). Ladies know what we have to deal with when it comes to any type of mechanic shop. This shop was BETTER than that; my transmission was rebuilt (extremely reasonably) 8 months ago. Zero problems still.

Absolutely 100 percent impressed with this shop and Jeff the owner. He is so nice and tried to make sure that I understood everything when I went to pick up the transmission he built for my Tahoe. He had it built and ready for pick up 5 business days from the day I ordered it. I couldn't pick the transmission up so quickly and he was very nice about it he was very accommodating and just let me pick it up when I could I give this business and Jeff 10 thumbs up.

I thought my car had a leaky transmission, so I took it here. After a FREE diagnosis, Jeff discovered that my motor oil was leaking. Although, Jeff was not able to work on my car, he filled up my oil and referred me to another great place. Great service, professionalism, and very helpful. Definitely, 100% recommend.
