They did an amazing job. They explained what was needed and promptly finished the work. The process is great for a transmission shop. They are very knowledgeable. Will be returning if I need any more work read more

All i can say is Jimmy and the boys at capital district transmission are the real deal when it comes to transmission work!!! After taking my truck to lia infiniti they told me that my truck needed a new transmission and quoted me 8100 for a reman tranny, so from my sisters recommendation i took my truck to capital district, Jimmy drove my truck and told me that it needs to be flushed and refilled with new tranny fluid and shudder fix, low and behold my truck is fixed for a mere 310 dollars, far less than the dealers quote of 8100!!! I highly recommend Capital District Transmission, stay far away from dealerships they'll only try and rip you off!!! Any tranny work give Jimmy and the boys a call, thanks Jimmy read more

Brought my 2018 sierra in for a vibration/shuttering problem. He changed the fluid and added an anti-vibration additive. He also fixed a factory issue with the transmission cooler. He told me that this might not fix my issue, but it was cheaper to do this than to install a new transmission. As far as I'm concerned, the problem is gone. Very knowledgeable and good pricing. Highly recommend. read more

Wow, I can't remember the last time I felt as good about a car repair as when I went here. I felt good going in due to all the other reviews and had a great experience. Jimmy was easy to reach and work with, the facility looked well kept, though modest, and I was able to schedule the repair for the next day and wait for it to be done. Jimmy actually drove to Honda to get my part after his parts supplier / delievery guy failed him. I was charged less than half of what the dealer was charging to replace a transmission oil pressure switch and it was done in about 50 minutes after I pulled in. Why does Honda say it will take a highly trained Honda technician 90 minutes to unscrew and change a sensor when it only took Capital Transmission about 30 minutes of repair time? Its great to find an honest repair shop these days. read more

This place is a waste of time , my Honda Ridgeline sat there for like 4 days and didn't even move all's jim did is plug his machine in and I already did that , and tells me I need a tranny swap for $4200 dam , I found a tranny for $1050 , so that being said how much is labor $3200 come on rip off , I ended up bringing to a real transmission shop and it ended up only being a dumb part that was shot costed me only $800 total , capital district transmission is only good if ur rich and need a tranny swap , they don't fix trannys it should only be called capital district mechanics , shot place don't waste ur time trust me , the 5 star rating is probably from all his friends and family read more

Transmission on the Miata gave out, wouldn't disengage. Called my usual mechanics (CDT) but they do not work on transmissions... they recommended Capital District Transmission over at Green Island, NY, which is pretty close by. I had the car towed here to get it fixed. Guy was polite, friendly and helpful. Properly diagnosed a leaky slave cylinder. Suggested a clutch replacement but said I don't really need it but it is pretty worn. Considering I got 100,000 miles out of the original clutch I said go ahead and replace that while you are at it. Got it done in a few days as promised, at what I think is a very reasonable price. That was this past January.... I think I held off on the review just want to be sure the repair held up and it did. Very impressed with the professionalism. Jimmy is who took care of me... never got to see him, just spoke on the phone but it all worked out great. I hope not to have to do this anytime again soon but if I ever need transmission work again I would go here without hesitation. read more

Had an issue with my transmission pushing fluid through my vacuum lines and screwing up the 4x4 actuator, as well as damage some vacuum lines. It was recommended to visit Jimmy at CDTC to get it fixed. After a couple of days the truck was fixed and for a low cost to boot! Have had the truck for a few months since it was fixed and it still runs like new. I highly recommend going here for any transmission work. read more

This place has been in business for a very long time. I was recommended here by a friend after being screwed over by several other transmissions shops in the area over the years. Jim seems to be a stand up guy, is willing to give advice to get you out of a pickle, and his work is quick and fairly priced. No complaints here! read more

If your vehicle ever needs transmission work, GO HERE! Jimmy, 'Transman' is honest & I trust him to care for my car. They'll diagnosis your vehicle, give you a fair price, fix your car & you leave there having peace of mind. read more

I live on Long Island my daughter attends a school in Albany. When her transmission went I search around not knowing anyone to talk to. I did a YELP search & found Jim Smith Capital District Transmission. I could not be any happier. Jim by far is the best honest & kind person. I needed the car back quickly so I bought a Refurbished transmission near me & brought it to him to have installed. He installed the transmission test drove & found one of my motor mounts bad he replaced the mount with no labor charge just charged me for the cost of part & the car is running great.. read more

CD Transmission was recommended to me from a friend, and i was really pleased with the quick response and help i received from Jim the owner. He went above and beyond in helping me get our truck towed to his place at a very reasonable price. They came the same day i called and i was very impressed with how prompt and honest Jim was. He had our truck back to us in less than 2 days. The total of our bill was better than i would have expected from any dealer which always seem to take advantage of the average customer..Thank you Jim and you are now my go to guy for all my future help.

My car was having issues with shifting into the correct gear. I searched around and from other reviews this seemed to be the place to go within the Capital District. I called and told them the issues over the phone and they knew exactly what had to be done to fix the problem. They were able to work on my car the following morning. Then that morning they called me about another concern, I was told I could get away without having it done due to my car having high mileage (I did get it done). My car since picking it up feels like it has double the power it had before bringing it there. The wheels are definitely getting all the power without waste. The acceleration hasn't felt this great in years. I'm excited to be driving my car again. The cost was inexpensive when compared to other commercial shops, and their honesty makes them a gem in the area. I recommend you to go here if you need maintenance. This is my go to shop from now on. I'll be recommending them to everyone I know. read more
