I needed a transmission service and after seeing the reviews of this place I decided to give it a try! Let me start off by saying that Stephen is a one of a kind person. In this industry, customer service is rare and great honest people are even more rare. Stephen took great care of me, was communicative, went above and beyond to provide excellent service. I ended up getting a drain and fill and my rear bearings replaced. Care left driving better than when I brought it in. This place is honestly unlike any other because of Stephen and the staff. I know if I need anything else done to my vehicle, I'm starting here first! read more

Aaction Transmission came highly recommended, so we decided to bring our car here after receiving a shocking transmission quote from the dealership. I'm so glad we did. Stephen is amazing--extremely knowledgeable and communicates clearly every step of the way. He called with his estimate, which was significantly better than what the dealership quoted. On top of that, he went through the car's computer system and provided a printed report showing a few other items that may need attention in the near future. That level of transparency and thoroughness really stood out. If you're having transmission issues, I highly recommend checking out Aaction Transmission before going anywhere else. Honest, professional, and trustworthy service. read more

Wow wow wow I'm so blown away by this place. I came here on a friend's recommendation after a dealership tried to completely rip me off. I needed a new transmission, which I was completely aware of. The AAction Transmission staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They took the time to not only explain what was wrong with my car in a way the average person without car expertise can understand, but to actually show me. They explained the options and how they arrived at the price, which was about half of what the dealership was charging. They were honest and communicative throughout the whole process-also a million times better than my experience with the dealer. They even offered a no-interest payment plan. They finished my car within a reasonable amount of time, and it's been running perfectly since. I can see why my friend recommends this place to everyone, and I definitely will now as well. read more

Another big Thank You to Steffan and his amazing staff. A car repair shop is not an easy business to run I imagine. Steffan is a gentleman, always walking me outside. He is respectful. This is a busy shop because they charge fair prices and are super honest. That is why so many policemen bring their personal vehicles here. Do I wish my SUV was being fixed faster? Yes. Do I know this complicated job will be fixed correctly? Yes. I have total faith in this business. This is why I am patient and appreciate Steffan going the extra mile for me. A+ Business for sure. I highly recommend them for all your transmission needs. read more

Professional and trustworthy! I was from out of town and needed to blindly find a place to have my daughters car repaired. We braced ourselves for outrageous quotes and questionable ethics, but Stephan was great, honest, and handled the repair without delay. read more

Extremely professional team, with excellent facilities for the job as well as waiting area. Very clean

This is the 7th or 8th year that they changed the transmission fluid in my 2003 Expedition. They do a great job keeping my older vehicle running great. I trust them to always do a great job. The team there is very professional. read more

Completely happy with their service this is the second time I've used them for trans fluid and filter changes. I have recommended them to friends and family also. Don't hesitate to call or visit them because they will treat your vehicle with care. read more

I'm convinced half of these reviews aren't real. At first I took my car (02 Buick Park ave base) to transmission King in Fort Lauderdale which is who I wish I would've just went with and they were able to explain how my band had cracked in my transmission because of a water pump leak causing heat/steam. I ended up taking my car to action instead because they were closer and initially quoted me $1800, after action got my car in they told me it would be $2600 to fix the transmission because of the electrical components. asked them if they noticed any leaks and they said no but they would check. two days later. They call me to get my car. They said they didn't find any kind of leak. something to couple days later, my power steering goes out. I took it back and they tell me I need a power steering pump and I should replace the rack and pinion and hoses too because of "wear and tear". I just replaced all of that in 2019 so now I'm suspicious and take my car back home. a week or two later my car overheats while I'm driving and breaks down. I go back to action transmission which I shouldn't have done, but they've already got $2800 of my hard earned money so I have them look at it again and that's when he tells me I need a new water pump. And my rack and pinion is bad and my power steering hoses are leaking. So now it's the opposite of everything last time . I think Mike is full of (s) hit and either tore my lines and didn't want to take accountability or make a problem for me thinking I'd be naive enough to give him more of my money. The mechanic who did my water pump looked like the hoses looked like they were cut. I'll update when I get a new transmission diagnoses if I don't have new solenoids etc I am pursuing legal aaaction! This might've been a nice place in the past when you see most of the good reviews come from, and there could really be some good honest people there but Mike isnt the guy he portrays over the phone/ in person. He is up to some shady work and it's going to get this company in a lot of legal issues. read more

Great personal and really back up their work! Rebuilt my transmission. 5 years later they fix a problem part used to rebuild my transmission. They also replaced the filter, oil for free. They didn't charge a dime! Where do you get service like this these days? Very professional and they are my transmission experts for life. read more

Honest, transparent, good communication, timely. With that said, I've been working on my cars for over 25 years. Always struggled with finding good consistent shops and found doing it myself was less stressful than dealing with shops. I understand that's not everyone's motivator. Transmission work, is not one I could handle. Received Stephan name and number at AACTION from another trusted mechanic. The experience has been nothing but pleasurable. Yes it cost me money but I priced it doing myself and for the service, warranty and timely repair I couldn't have done it better myself. I do not typically post but when someone WOWS me, they deserve the recognition. I wouldn't think twice or waste time with other shops. Go to Stephan at AACTION first and it's your last stop needed! I didn't need it but when I read his site there may be FREE TOWs. Another thing to consider and confirm. A very much deserved thank you to him and his team for getting our family vehicle back on the road! read more

A big thank you to Stephan. Honest, professional and impeccable customer service. A new transmission and other car maintenance exceeded my expectations with in 48 hours. I highly recommend. read more

I was referred to this Transmission Shop by a friend. I met the Owner who is none other than Al. He test drove my 2003 Ford Crown Victoria POLICE INTERCEPTOR so that he could diagnose the problem I was having with my Transmission. He told me what my problem was. He gave me a Quote which shocked me and he honored that Quote like a Gentleman. Now my 2003 Ford Crown Victoria POLICE INTERCEPTOR runs like it just came out of the Ford Factory itself. I have a 4 Speed Automatic Transmission and I can't even feel any type of shifting cause everything is so SMOOTH. In SOUTH FLORIDA it's hard to find an Honest Repair Shop. I work around Law Endorcement and one of my buddies from Broward Sheriff's Office turned me onto this very reputable business. I am telling all of my friends and family. Sure wish there had been a way to give this Professional Transmission Repair Shop a 6 STAR RATING. P.S. I even called a few other Transmission shops who actually RESPECT this Business called A Action Transmission and they even had great things to say about this Transmission Repair Shop. WOW!!!!! WHO DOES THAT IN SOUTH FLORIDA UNLESS YOUR REPUTATION PRECEDES YOU. Thanks Al. You are a Lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I told my truck to them to checkout my trucks transmission. One guy hooked up my truck to computer and told me about all these codes. Told me nothing wrong with my transmission but my truck is kicking back and forth and jumping gears and also leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. For them to tell me there is nothing wrong with my transmission was crazy. Finally took it to a transmission location where they confirmed code problems but all pointing towards a bad transmission which they fixed. I wish they would have properly checked my vehicle before sending me on my way with no remedies. read more

Oscar and Stephan were AMAZING!! Very knowledgeable about cars and educating the customer. The dealer gave me their diagnosis that I was skeptical of and the Aaction Transmission team was able to test my car as well with options. They're very honest, have competitive pricing and super nice. Try them out! LS read more

I just walked in to ask a few questions about a truck I just purchased and the customer service was OUTSTANDING. They did not charge me to look at the car checked all of my fluids and gave me some great advice. Stephan even told me next time your buying a car bring it in and I will check it for free. Wow I think I just found the place to get all of my family cars fix. read more

AAction Better Built Transmissions - Here is the number to a place you can trust. - Auto Repair Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Aaction Transmission is deceptive, unprofessional, incompetent inadequate, argues with customers (including the owner Al), and tries everything in their power to avoid honoring the warranty. * Vehicle was taken to two different mechanic shops one for maintenance other for a minor fender bender, whom BOTH documented that the vehicle had the same TCM code problem (after Al's transmission work), and upon second visit, BOTH also reported that the code was in fact reset or cleared by Al's transmission to reflect that the car was "fine" (NO TCM code). * Aaction (Al's) Transmission refused to honor the warranty. * The vehicle was driving fine but acting the same, with the same TCM problem; before, after Aaction (Al's) transmission work, after maintenance work and prior to going back to Aaction (Al's) Transmission. * 3rd party diagnosis & inspection indicates that the new TCM replacement by Al's transmission was not communicating with the overall transmission, and as a result it triggered the same TCM code problem. In addition, evidence from 3rd party further reveals that the "transmission is not responsive" (stopped driving while in Al's Transmission's hands). * 3rd party mechanic shop also stated that the other two shops indeed did NOT misdiagnose the vehicle. * The 3rd party mechanic shop also discovered that the vehicle was (4) quarts low of transmission fluid and the gear selection was binding inside the transmission after Al's Transmission installed the TCM. Upon further inspection they had found metal shims had fallen between the shifter rods causing the gear selector to bind. * 3rd party concluded that Al's transmission work seems to point to incompetency or foul play. read more

When it comes to car maintenance I always want my baby running in tip top shape. That's why a "check engine" light is alarming to me. After the "check engine code" was found to be a transmission problem I went to a mechanic. They referred me to Aaction Transmission. When I arrived there the "check engine" light was already off, so it was hard to show them. Dan introduced himself and offered to take my car for a spin to help detect the problem. As we drove around he checked to make sure the transmission was working properly. It seemed to be. When we returned he had the high quality diagnostic computer hooked up to my car to make sure nothing was missed. The transmission code was no longer there. They did not charge me extra for this. I have been to many different auto and transmission repair businesses in the past. I have already been quoted ridiculously high prices for repairs that weren't needed. I am grateful to Dan and the staff at Aaction Transmissions for their honesty and knowledge of cars and transmissions. read more

Let me preface by stating I was the one who brought Rachel S. in 2015 to Aaction transmission who left a glowing 5 star review. OK... now I've recently had some transmission issues and I decided to check a couple places to see what the problem might be. So obviously this place was first on my list, being I had been there before. Strike 1) This place definitely has new owners, not only was the interior different, but there was nobody there that I recognized. Strike 2) This dude, I guess one of their "salesmen" comes and drives with me in my car to feel it out. We didn't do any of the traditional gear shifts or accelerations, but some how this genius was able to come to a diagnostic conclusion. Strike 3) They didn't hook up my car to a computer to read the error codes from the transmission. Strike 4) Dude looks at me with a straight face and say's " we can't rebuild your transmission, but we can put a new one in from the dealer". Trust me for the over $3000 price tag this DeVry grad wanted to charge me, even if they were sourcing a new transmission from the dealer, the transmission alone would probably be double the $3000 they were trying to ripp me off with. Strike 5) This dude pulled out some picture book, then started to over-state all of the special tools they need to use if they actually could rebuild my transmission. I swear to god this DeVry grade must of thought I was also a DeVry grad with the mumbo jumbo wallet raping crap he was spewing. They had there whole laminated picture sales pitch perfected like a time share sales horror story. I went down the street to another transmission shop, they test drived my car, hooked it to the computer and quoted me a "rebuild" of my transmission and informed me the exact parts that are malfunctioning. How is that possible? Aaction Transmission said that I could not rebuild my transmission and that it was impossible to get the parts, like the "valve body" my car needed that was being sold all over the internet. Stay away from this place, they start with lies end with lies, and like their filtered reviews statr, they're going to play bait and switch with your car. read more

I brought my 2006 Mercedes ML350 in to the shop & they looked at the car and instantly knew what was wrong with my car. They repaired my car in less than one day the right way.. I highly recommend AACTION & I appreciate David's Help, very Honest & knowledgeable. David Rodriguez read more

Want great service, a friendly smile and a pleasant place to wait for your transmission needs? Look no further! Had my transmission rebuilt here a year ago and I'm back for my 1 year checkup for the warranty. Absolutely awesome staff that greet you with a smile and hello when you enter. Much to the point that they overused "Ma'am" in addressing me repeatedly. You rarely find customer service like that these days. The waiting area is nicely appointed with comfortable chairs, a radio, TV, keurig and filtered water. There is an outlet available as well if you need to charge anything. A large fish tank breaks up the "mechanics shop" vibe and is quite a nice touch. read more

They are very helpful and the price is right. They explained everything about what was going wrong with my transmission and provided prompt service.i would like to say Thank You for being professionals. read more

PERFECT. !!! This was my second experience with this service. My first was for my son who had just bought a Chevy Cruise and would be taking it to South Carolina where he lives. I was a little concerned about the distance but the trans was rebuilt perfectly. So when my wife's Pontiac G6 trans went on me Om Wednesday, I didn't hesitate to call Al of AACTION and he said don't worry about a thing, I'll send my tow truck within the hour. I was informed Every step along the way. Within two hours I was informed what the issues were and I had to have it rebuilt. I received a phone call 8:30 am on Friday morning telling me my car was ready and I could pick it up. That was great news because I had to drive my wife back and forth to work. All I can say again...PERFECT!!! Thanks again Al and Ralph and crew. Ron Formisano Coral Springs Florida read more

hi, my name is carlos tolentino and the service that provided this company is unprofessional, inadequate and the owner of the company was rude/condescending. i went in on dec 27th for a check up on my transmission, i had previously gone to another repair shop but wanted a second opinion. this shop being very close to my home, with excellent bbb rating, was convenient. the manager of the company (owners son) stephen was initially very polite when offering me the rebuilt and stated that he was going to provide me a $100 discount for me exclusively since he understood my situation (this was sales tactic because the back of the business card states that they will provide a 100$ discount on any major repair), so the repair shop offered misleading information. i agreed to the repair and received my vehicle 2 days later. upon receiving my vehicle, immediately i noticed a sound in the back, like gear clacking, never had heard this sound in my life from my ford explorer 2006, before arriving at the shop, there was no sounds or clacking at all and my vehicle has all it's maintenance up to date and serviced recently (month prior) and i knew the transmission was faulty and needed replacement soon, but never any alerting sounds or clacking in the back. when i took the vehicle back to the shop the manager (owners son), checked it and stated that the differential was faulty and it was a preexisting condition, he also stated that the differential has nothing to do with the transmission and offered a $295 check up, i guess the manager didn't know that i had knowledge about transmissions and when i stated that to rebuilt the transmission you would need to remove the driveshaft, which is connected to the differential, they then offered to take the differential apart and have me pay for the parts, seems to me like a strategy to keep customers spending money in their shop. it is not possible for a differential to completely fail after one day and coincidentally after a major repair associated with the same functionality. the vendor stated then that they wont be responsible for their actions and that i could "do whatever i want". how can we trust bbb ratings when we have repair shops like this exercising in plausible deniability, which means that if they make a mistake or one of their technicians commits a human error, the company will not be responsible for their actions and since their are no legal rights that the consumer has to acquire proper adjudication, the consumer is undervalued and taken advantage of. read more

I paid a little over $2100 to have my transmission rebuild on a 2001 Dodge mini van. The van was brought over by my mechanic who said this was a great place for service, so I never saw the place before I had the job done. The place when l picked up the van was clean roomy and staff were friendlyaa and they had a very large dog laying behind their desk, bull mastiff size. Front parking is a little crowded and you would think how does that warrant a 5 star rating. Well six months later the transmission locked into 2nd gear and my thoughts was did I waste $210. I took van back and told them I had it serviced 6 months ago but didn't bring my receipt. They told me to wait a half and hour and I expected a new quote for more money. They came back and said the problem was not the transmission but the alternator and it turns later to be the case. They were extremely pleasant. read more

I was having problems with my transmission and took it to Aaction Transmission in Pembroke Pines. From the gentleman that came to pick up my car with a tow truck, to Bob and the staff at the shop, they were professional, understanding, fast and do the job right the first time. Willing to work with me and go above and beyond anything I could have asked for. If I ever need work done again, there's no doubt as to who I trust. I'd recommend them to anyone. Thanks again everyone! read more

Took my 2001 Ram 2500 Cummins into this shop last year around July. Truck had lost reverse and all forward driving gears. This place had amazing reviews on BBB so I decided to go with them. Their staff was friendly and "understanding" so I let them rebuild my transmission. Truck ran pretty well for about 13,500 miles when I started to feel a stuttering and clunking sound whenever I was driving. Checked the fluid and it was burnt. Dropped the transmission oil pan and what do you know, there's 2 large pieces of metal in the pan as well as a ton of metal shavings attached to my now broken into 4 pieces mag pickup. I also noticed a kinked transmission cooler line on the side of the transmission which should've been repaired when I first had the truck fixed. So I put it all back together and took the truck back to Aaction Transmissions. I pointed out the metal in the pan, the burnt fluid, and the line. Stephen says he'll see what he can do. Came back to pickup the truck and the bill was $1850. He couldn't go any lower than that for some reason even though their repair job was clearly to blame. I get back into my truck and my AC doesn't work, 4x4 doesn't work, and door panel is falling off. He gets his "tech" to come out and look at it, the guy tried to tell me that I can take it to a shop and have it repaired even though it was all working perfectly before I dropped the truck off. After he finally figured out the vacuum lines had been disconnected or shifted he calls me back and says the truck is ready again. I come back and get in the truck, 4x4 light is on while the truck is in 2wd. His "tech" comes out once again to see what's wrong with it. Couldn't figure it out and tells me, "You sure it wasn't doing that before?" (Mind you they asked that about the A/C like 4 times before they fixed it). I looked at him and told him it was not doing that ever. So he couldn't figure out what to do. I got on my back and layed down under my own vehicle and switched a few vacuum lines around. BOOM, truck works like it should. Bottom line is, these guys are your typical "blame it on the customer and milk em for what it's worth" kinda shop. Will never be doing business with them again. read more

They ripped off my nephew. Charged $2,000.00 for a used transmission they never even put in the car. Dan started yelling like a girl that he was going to call the police when I started to complain. Changed his mind about calling when I said I would wait for them to come. All these glowing reviews are phony. I would never bring my car there. read more

Mark L., Miami I have had real rough time for the past two and half years with my Pontiac G6 transmission. I've had it into three different shops in the Miami area to no avail. First problem was a leaking drive axle seal, causing some ATF loss which then led to a stripped out planetary gear and finally the torque converter wore out. I was at wits end, the car started slipping gear shifts, stalling out and thunking whenever the car was placed in drive or reverse. I put the car up on jack stands and dropped the pan to check the color of the ATF and it was jet black indicating burned out internal components (i.e clutch). None of these shops did a complete check of the whole transmission and torque converter. Everything with these other shops seemed to be piecemeal changeouts, assumptions and guesswork. Whenever I went back to these places they seemed to get whizzed off at my queries as to why it still was not shifting properly. I decided to look further afield in south florida and on the web, found the reviews for Aaction Transmission which made up my mind. I put the car on a flatbed, took up there and met Dan. He hooked up an excellent Snap On code reader and we took it for a spin. He noted a few error codes stored in the ECM in addition to the poor shifting. Within two days they had finished a complete overhaul at a very reasonable price which included two new mounts and a torque converter. He also repaired about four sensor wires which one of those other shops had either cut or had the insulation chaffed off during one of the attempted repairs. I couldn't believe I hit pay dirt with Aaction after all I had been through. Since I picked the car up a week ago it hasn't missed a single shift, no clunking, no banging, no stalling and the gas consumption dropped dramatically. When you pick the car up they ask that you bring it back in about a month for a follow up check which I will do. (One thing I've noted on some reviews. Don't be scared of the word "rebuild" . By the time you have the problems that I have had with a transmission - the transmission needs to be rebuilt. It has to be dismounted off of the engine and all the gears, clutch, seals, converter, mountings, filter, etc., gone over completely and any worn out parts renewed. There are no half measures - otherwise it will just be back in the shop again. A complete rebuild for a couple of thousand dollars is still cheaper than buying a new car) Good Work Aaction! read more
