Got several quotes for my Dodge Caravan Transmission Rebuild. RJ Transmission had the lowest rate…read moreand one of the best warranties. Jorge was very responsive and professional. He told me it would take around 12 days. I told him I was renting a car in the mean time and he had it ready earlier than expected. He said he wanted to get it back to me ASAP so I wasn't renting a car. I really appreciated that. Transmission works great so far. I used to feel a big "clunk" when going into reverse but it is gone.

Well, the transmission fix that was done didn't work right away, so ended up having to take back my…read morecar several times until he got it to work correctly, at no charge (I do have a one year warranty). I think what got me was that he said he would have it done, but then when I called the part hadn't even come in yet (my car needed a special component). And often times, I wouldn't get a phone call to say if the car was ready. I showed up several times to just have to walk home. Thankfully, I only live a few blocks away. All in all, I'm still pleased with the work he did, it was just that my car had some tricky fixes and it took several times to get it correct. And still to this day it doesn't shift as well from a cold start. But, I guess that's what happens with a rebuilt transmission.

Brought vehicle in for a trans rebuild. I'm a commercial vehicle. Completed within a coupe days. It…read moreincluded a 12 month 24,000 mile warranty. Well on mile 23,000 and some change trans went out only had 1st and 2nd. Took it back another 2-3 days later said it was "completely rebuilt". Less than 1,000 miles later had the same issue, 1st, 2nd. ANOTHER 2-3 days back again this time it lasted roughly 8,000 miles or so. Completely unacceptable. Not only cause it should be done right the first time but the next two times it wasn't done right either. So I took it to a real transmission shop and paid a little more but I'm confident I'll not going to have further issue. Super disappointing. Tried to support local business but was unsupported.

My local mechanic in Silver Lake was going to charge me $700 for an auto repair, and although I…read morehave no knowledge of how auto repair quotes are generated, this did sound high. I brought the car home to my dad and he offered to do it just for cost of parts. (Uhm.. no, love you daddy, but grandpa was the mechanic in the family, not you.) I asked him for his recommendation, as I didn't want him to waste a wonderful Saturday working away when he could be enjoying the weekend with his princess. So he gave me the info for the mechanic who does repairs for the stuff my dad can't fix. Drove around a bit, missed it the first time and went back around after calling for directions (its in the back garage) of the repair units. He was busy with what looked like a complex repair, but Carlos was beaming and welcoming. He took the time to bring in my car, look over my car. He diagnosis was the same as my local mechanic, but his quote was much better. Of course I said yes, he could begin. I asked him when I should come back to pick up my car, as I was expecting to have it take as long as my mechanic told me (2 days: 1 day to wait for parts, 1 for work). I was calling my parents, as I would be borrowing their car for work over weekend when Carlos surprised me. He said it should be done after lunch. 2-1/2 hours. Well, lunch with my parents took much longer than I would've liked, and I didn't make it back to the garage to make closing time. Carlos was still there and still took good care of me, the work was actually cheaper than what he had quoted. I thought it was going to be more, as my experience with quotes is that they tend to be a little bit HIGHER than what was quoted. Took my folks around for the rest of the weekend (I had to stay in San Gabriel valley for work) and had them talk to me. Ugh. Wish I had scratching sound in my car to listen to... that would've been better. Ah, parents. Never change. So, after another novel, the summary: - Better rates than my local mechanic. Check (saved $150!) - Better service and attitude. (I admit, my family has good history with this mechanic) - Better turn around time. I know I sound like a commercial, but what the hell: With the money I saved I was able to treat my parents to a nice lunch. The cons. - Most of us 9-5 stiffs may not be able to drop off the car or pick it up on their Saturday hours. Plan ahead. - Garage is hard to find and you may end up at the wrong mechanic. I know I did and I had to call to get to the right place (I admit, my fault.) - This is a mechanic, not a salon, so expect to see a good working blue-collar environment. - And my father insists I add that you should plan ahead, as the Auto Repair Service does get crowded over the weekends. I got fast service because I happened to be lucky on a weekend. Overall, it was worth the trip from Silver Lake to Covina to get better service and lower prices.

I normally do all my work myself but since I have multiple projects going at a time and the price was fair i was able to save some time by paying for it. I installed my transfer case and new drive shaft. After two short trips I experienced severe driveline wobble followed by a blown up transfer case and my new drive shaft broken along with very a expensive tow. About $3,000 down the trash. I called and explained the situation and did not accuse them of anything but asked possibly if I would be able to get a small discount if I were to go with them again and buy a new drive shaft. The guy was very rude and said how can I blame them. First of all I didn't blame him but just brought to his attention what happened to me. As a mechanic I clearly can see what happened and pictures speak for themselves. Although I can't prove It was their bad workmanship. This picture will explain what happened. Transfer case rear yoke was not torque to spec. The yoke shaft nut backed off completely and threw the drive shaft which caused the transfer case to get wacked and explode.
