Joel quoted me $2,250 if they had to do a full rebuild, but explained that it might not need a full rebuild, and it could be much less. The transmission did need a full rebuild (as expected, the truck is 20 years old with 208,000 miles!) and when I picked it up the bill was exactly, to the penny, the $2,250 I was quoted. If you need any transmission work be sure to call these guys, you won't be disappointed.

The man I spoke to was so rude and…read morebelittling, he told me there was no way he could give me an estimate without seeing the car first and he told me I had to drop it off and I tried to explain to him that it did not drive because the clutch was out and he was talking to me like I was so stupid and I didn't not know what I was talking about. I'm pretty sure they were going to try to rip me off and sell me something unnecessary so I ended up taking my car to kern transmission AFTER receiving a quote, where I got it repaired for a fair price. I would not recommend going to this place, especially if you're a woman.

These guys are phenomenal. I'll spare you the gruesome details of my situation but I will tell you…read morethat they were kind, honest, thorough, and communicative throughout the ten days my car was at G&G. They were empathetic and personable when delivering me tough news. They updated me every step of the way. They reassured me. They guided me to the proper entities to handle the $11,000+ cost of repairs the car needed that I had only purchased 2 1/2 weeks prior. They are the real deal. And most importantly, they care! Thank you all so much for your help through such a frustrating ordeal.

I pulled over to Sears Auto and the guy recommended this shop which thank god was only a mile away. After my car hobbled there, I was relieved to be greeted by Tess and Ken. They were very nice and understanding of the predicament I was in. I wanted to keep going and by some miracle there was an Enterprise rental car next door. What are the odds?? Not only did they get me a discount on the rental car, but they simply replaced the computer on top of my transmission and the problem was solved. Picked it up after my trip and headed home. Great experience- they were extremely knowledgable and honest!!

Check engine light came on and O/D started flashing. Of course, we got the blame for it. I understand calling before expected finish time causes a delay in the labor but if it's passed that, the customer has the right to call and check on the status. They don't like that but if Tom had done the job right the first time, my car wouldn't be back in there. Last time, they did not call me when my car was ready for pick up. He blamed Ford for pos part. Let's see what excuse he comes up with this Friday. Annoying!

HUGE mistake. Luckily, the truck stopped running near this place. The guys came out to ask us what was wrong. They realized the sticker was wrong and gave us an idea of what could be done to fix the problem. We left the truck with them (thankfully we had a rental) and returned home (to another state). Jimmy communicated with us throughout. He told us when the car would be ready and gave us a fair price. We drove back to Bakersfield and picked up our truck last Friday. We've driven it about almost 1,000 miles so far and it's worked perfectly. These guys are honest and helpful. If I needed help again, I wouldn't hesitate to give them my business.
