We have been customers and going to Steve for over 20 years now. The first time we ever met Steve and went to A Line Transmission, Steve replaced the Transmission in our 1983 Toyota over 20 years ago, working to find the best price and willing to go far and beyond to find the cheapest yet correct way to do the job right! From the Start, Steve exemplified Excellence in Customer Service, willing to work with us fairly, while being informative, acting with integrity being more than truthful and with character to resolve our cars problems and any other needs we may have. He was willing to do anything to work with us as a customer and do certain things that another shop would never do! Steve was able replace the entire transmission by using a excellent condition like new low mile exchange transmission, which ended up saving us alot of money, at a time where we could not even afford to do any mechanical work. Steve was a caring, conscientious, thorough, honest and loving person, willing to go above and beyond to treat a new customer in an honest and courteous, knowing how we and others have been burnt before by shady & dishonest mechanics! Unlike these types of dishonest mechanics, Steve has never tried to add extra charges or fictitious/imaginary unnecessary or any other parts, service or labor chargers...just so he could inflate costs and make more profit off of us as a customer, nor have I ever heard of him doing this to others! I will also add that Steve has also offered to do free inspections or check transmission fluids without charging inspection fees, which is important when most people can hardly afford mechanical work as it is during these tough times! If you are looking for an honest Transmission Shop and Owner that is hands on during the complete process, and who will be truthful and does good work, I highly recommend and hold Steve in high regards and would not hesitate to refer anyone who wants honest, courteous, caring, truthful, professional, conscientious mechanical work done right and with integrity to phone or visist Steve at A Line Transmission in Wilmington, CA! They are among if not the Best in their Fields, and the service and prices as reasonable and honest than you will find in this day and age...They are a Rare Breed, Indeed! Simply Refreshing and Amazing...but guess that is why they have been in business for so many years, and that is also why they are respected in their community and everywhere else for that matter! Steve and A line Transmission is the kind of person or people that deserve and have earned your business, so next time you need to spend your hard earned $$$, don't get other opinions wasting time, but rather give Steve a chance to earn your business....You won't regret it! read more
