They took a look at my car for free to identify the issue and they detected the leak to be coming from my engine and not my transmission. They showed me exactly what they were seeing, why they thought it was my engine and not my transmission, and offered to put a dye in my transmission fluid to ensure it was my engine and not my transmission. I drove my car for a week and took it back to double check, and sure enough it was my engine! Although they spent time and care on my car, they didn't charge me a single penny, even when I insisted to at least pay for the dye. They were able to refer me another mechanic to fix my engine leak and I was able to get my issue solved that same day. As a woman who is nervous to get work done on my car, I had an excellent time at El Monte Transmission. If you are having transmission troubles, please go to them :)

John & his team are professional, and very honest, & took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my Jeep's transmission. The repair was done by the exact day they promised, & my beloved Jeep is running smoother than ever (it's 23 years old btw) Pricing was extremely fair & I loved their solid workmanship, you can tell they take pride in what they do. I'll definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs transmission work! Thank you guys!!!

I brought my 2013 Nissan Versa in for a second opinion because the dealership (where I thought my…read morenew transmission was under warranty) quoted $10,000 to replace the transmission AGAIN and replace a few other parts. Lee and Sam took the vehicle for a few hours and got it running again for a fraction of the price. They determined that the issue was not related to the transmission. Their willingness to listen, inspect, and be transparent was most striking. I'll definitely be back.

SERIOUS CONSUMER WARNING - DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION TEARDOWN AFTER "REBUILD"…read more I brought my truck with its 4L80E transmission to this ATRA member shop for a full rebuild. The owner, Mr. Lee, stated he has 43 years of experience and that he personally performs all the rebuilds. I paid him $2,850 and supplied an additional estimated $1300 in quality brand new parts, which he inspected and agreed to install. For context, I have 20 years of experience working on vehicles and am a certified diesel mechanic. The main reason I brought the transmission to a shop was that I didn't have the space nor resources at the time to perform a full removal, installation, and rebuild myself. Communication was polite initially, and the owner appeared willing to work with the parts I supplied. He was also extremely fast and did the actual rebuild in half a day. The transmission failed three separate times within three weeks, requiring removal and reinstallation each time. After the third failure, I towed the truck home and completely disassembled it myself. During teardown and measurement, I documented multiple serious assembly and quality-control issues, including: -Wrong pump installed, despite being told no hard parts were changed -Intermediate clutch pack assembled with incorrect clutches, leaving clearance nearly three times outside specification (which can prevent the clutch from holding properly and lead to rapid failure) -Sun gear installed upside down, blocking a critical lubrication hole required to supply oil to internal components -Several worn bearings, steels, seals, and other components appeared not to have been replaced -Reverse band misadjusted to the point the output shaft would not rotate in any gear The FIRST failure was caused by a transmission fluid leak from an old 180k-mile pump bushing and seal that were not replaced. The SECOND failure was explained to me as transfer case and transmission cracking as soon as Mr. Lee shifted into Drive.. the shop claimed it was caused by my driveshaft despite it being the original factory driveshaft with new, unbound U-joints. The THIRD failure caused severe transmission overheating (never disclosed to me) during Mr. Lee's 5-mile test drive, with a claimed valve body diagnostic code that never appeared when I scanned the truck myself. Because this truck is critical for my cross-country towing work, I ultimately spent three months in very difficult circumstance personally performing a very slow but full transmission teardown in order to rebuild the transmission correctly. I have extensive photos and video documenting all findings of why this transmission had repeated failures in a span of three weeks. If proper assembly, reliability, and accountability matter to you, I strongly recommend choosing another shop.

This place has really changed. I don't know if they care about selling cars more than the customer…read moreservice they used to offer, but this placed has gone downhill. I dropped my car off here because it stalled on fwy. They offered to charge me around $360 to fix the issue. Then issue after issue came up they taxed a bunch of labor, and additional charges ome which took them 45 minutes to fix. As i was on my way back from work after being left at the shop for 2 days, they said it would be ready Saturday. I made it back home in 45 minutes and the repair was done. It went from $360 to $400-500, jumped an additional $300. They charge a "non cash charge" of $32.37 on top of all that. I would have left alone and called myself a sucker. But, my Bluetooth cell phone charger was also missing. I go there to pick it up and the owner tells me only him and one other mechanic worked on the car and that guy steals nothing. Surely enough it's the same mechanic who tried to upscale patching my tire at $25 when he charged my gf $12 (in front of me btw) and i told him you charged my gf $12, why $25 now? I ended up going to get patch kit for less than $10. They even crossed out $140 per hour for diagnostic charge and put $185. ‍I didn't know on top of all the misc. Charges, fees and labor costs that i would have to take inventory of the items in your car on top of all that. Go to an honest mechanic. This will be the last time i ever use their services. Stolen goods much? No thanks. After everything i have to go buy another bluetooth charger now. Because they don't know how it ended up stolen.

If its a clunker, they will give new life to it. Who needs a new car and all those monthly payments! Let me explain. This is the third time I have taken my cars here. The first two times (read my earlier reviews), repairs were made, they threw in some extras (FOR FREE!!), and the cars run great! Also, the price was so much lower than others I thought they made a mistake. Nope, the price was correct and much less than others. This latest repair on 6/26/2026, was for my 2003 Honda Accord EX. The photo of the invoice will show all the repairs they made (water pump, timing belt, etc.) They also noticed other items and addressed, and did a free oil change! Crazy huh! When did you ever get anything free from a car repair shop, except a free headache when you get the bill! No headache from them. Excellent service. Terrific price. HONEST MECHANICS! Afterward, I confirmed with CHATGPT (artificial intelligence) what was done: price, repairs, etc. The answer was all good and verified they did everything they were supposed to do, along with a excellent price for the area. Trust me, and give them a try! Look at all those great reviews. Previously I interfaced with David. This time it was Monte. They were both wonderful.

He asked me about my issue and took the car for a short drive, he came back and gave me a quote. I liked that he explained everything to me about what he saw and what needed to be replaced. I felt like he was being genuine. Since they did not have my parts available that day I made an appointment for a few days later. When I returned to get the work done, he showed me the new parts and again explained what the issue was and what he would be replacing. I appreciate the fast and reliable service and would trust them again for any auto repairs. Highly recommend this shop. They offer great value, integrity, transparency, and reliability.

This is basically the 2nd worst thing that could happen to a vehicle IMO The job did take time but I made it work with getting around. Angel and his team did have to do some trouble shooting because this specific transmission requires the valve body to be primed on the bench prior to installation. He rebuilt the entire core and also changed out the engine rear main seal. Now, the transmission feels better than ever. I had to give him a little bit of a hard time about not having Zelle which he ended up getting after. Overall I would say, he really does care about taking care of his customers and will make sure the job is done correctly.
