    David at Sonny's Transmission is a true hero. He was able to fix my son's Hyundai Tiburon Automatic…read moreTransmission for a 1/3 of what the Hyundai dealership or AAMCO quoted me. He even warrentied it for 50,000 miles, something the above two laughed at when I asked if they could offer it. Sonny's Transmission is a small family owed business with heart and soul. Keep up the good work.

    Ok..This place can really be good..my transmission was in need of major work...mind you this was…read moretwo years ago..When it was done I had to put my car up due to money problems...over 1700 bucks in repair and that was all I could do at the time. It sat for the next two years .. Finally raised enough money to get my tags and new plates..drove the car to the tax office and what happens..the tranny goes out..Im really freaking now..took it back and found out that the service advisor was ripping this place off...that didnt fix my problem..found that he forged false paperwork for my car and more than likely pocketed the money.... I came in with hell fire in my heart and my boots for kicking..but the owner was there..I told them how the hell can my trany break again just sitting there...now the warranty was expired...It never had been driven more that 25 miles before I was stuck again....they took a look and found the problem...speed sensor..easy fix. I also had leaking lines..both uper and lower trans lines..which i payed for them to fix before and they never did but said they did..bunch of b.s..also when they removed the trany i had a skid plate that was taken off and never replaced..there were so many other parts that were missing on my car that it was a wonder my car still held itself together....brackets screws and a lot of little things...they replaced motor mounts which was a needed thing but all the wire harnesses were replaced wrong and torn from the black wire cases...sloppy sloppy work..but this was done by an idiot two years ago....I had to replace the tranny lines myself because it wasnt done the first time I payed for it..so more money out of pocket.....and I wasnt about to let them work on my car ever again. If your looking for transmission service...well dont be me...go else where....I wasnt treaded any better by the owners...more like they didnt want me there...of course not...who wants someone there whos car they screwed up.... All repairs that were made were made by my hands...these guys may be nice in your face but...they'll stickcit too you when you turn your back....buyer beware.... The owners. Well they try to help but what can you do...this can be a good place..just watch who your dealing with there.

    To everyone reading this, please avoid this shop and shops like this. I am writing for someone that…read morerecently went to this shop to get a so called diagnosis on her vehicle. Concern was check engine light and smoke coming from under the hood. So to start off I'm a mechanic and when I got this call for help I couldn't believe what I was hearing...$1200 to replace a radiator on an old 2003 Lexus. And on top of that to add an insult to injury they quoted another 2.5 hours to replace the radiator hoses which is apparently $585 of labor and parts. Oh and get this, another hour of work for adding the coolant into the vehicle.....so like you don't do that when you replace the radiator????? From the beginning this whole thing smelled of scam and guess what I was right in thinking that. Then they tell her her thermostat is bad....how do they know.....who knows maybe they did testing? Nope they just told her it was bad and quoted 2.5 hours which is $750 on top of everything else quoted. The thermostat calls for 1.4 hours of labor and yes I understand it's in a different area and all but gosh I can't help but think my conscience would scream at me for trying to quote someone $1200, $585, $750, and $385 and not try to help with cost. Wow. My problem is these shops exist out here either knowingly scamming or unknowingly just bad at their jobs and are incompetent. But anyway no indication of what the check engine light was on for, no information on what they did to diagnose it or any expectations set for her to understand what's going on. So what was the technicians diagnosis...radiator was leaking at the top seal and any person can see that. I'm sure they didn't pressure test based on the track record of saying the thermostat was bad without checking. But back to the story. I received the car after she paid for the so called diagnosis fee which who knows what that's all about because doesn't say any information or a story on how they diagnosed anything, then started on working on the radiator, I literally timed myself and it took 15min to pull the radiator out....removed the top covers, removed the support beam, the radiator isn't even bolted to the condenser....15 mins guys. I don't know what kind of things yall are smoking....transferred over the upper and lower radiator hoses not for another 2.5 hours and transferred over the temp sensor which took another 20min to do. Then another 15 min to install radiator and then top off the coolant and burp the system another 5 min. Sooo all this is under the 1.4 all dats time to do. And they wanted to charge 5.5 hours. I have no idea where in their right mind they thought 5.5 hours was acceptable to quote. Now Iet me tell you guys something, in my head I told myself when she gets here I'm going to ask what did they say to you when you said I'm going to pay the so called diagnosis fee and take the car because it's too expensive. And in my mind I told myself watch she's going to tell me that they tried to lower the prices and give a discount by waiving the diagnostic fee which is laughable. How can you charge a diagnostic if you leave without using information on the check engine light and or the leaks. Well clearly the radiator is leaking but where does that diag fee go to? The person who's going to respond to this is going to say well it goes to the tech to pay for his time to look at the car. Yea yea my butt, I've been in this industry for 15 years and all my notes for every single car has pictures and exactly what I checked down to the pressure I used on the cooling system to check for leaks. Everything is documented and if a car comes in we can look at the history of what was done previously. That's because we notate exactly what's going on. If a car comes in with a check engine light I take a picture of it and upload it and attach it to the multipoint inspection so we can have a record of what the light is. Oh and that's not diagnostic labor that's just looking at what the light says. Actual diagnosis is checking the circuit, checking the module or solenoid or running test on evap components or smoking the intake for leaks and pressure testing the cooling system and having a full formed conclusion. Condition, cause, correction and confirmation is a full formed conclusion of diagnosis which if this was done I wouldn't have had an issue paying $120 for a diag. Shame on you guys and other shops like this. Shame shame shame!!! Im appalled at what you guys did and to the person working for this shop trying to respond to this, there is no response, there is nothing you can say. The sheet says it all, I have receipts and proof. You cannot come at me and say all the responsive garbage you say to other customers who have a bad experience. I've read your posting responses. All you need to feel is shame and fix yourselves, apply better fundamental values and progress from this caveman style of automotive repair. You wrote down the quote on a piece of blue paper for God sakes!

    An honest mechanic shop is worth its weight in gold. This place excels at auto repair in an honest…read moreand completely transparent way. They've actually saved me money with their honest assessments before. I won't take my car anywhere else.
