My 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 Diesel Duramax 6.6 HD, 4-Wheel drive, went into check engine warning light mode. Never a good thing! The warning messages displayed included 1. Service Stabilitrak 2. Service Traction Control 3. Park Assist Off. The truck went into drive safety mode which means lower MPH to prevent any further possible damage to the warning light mechanical issue. After getting home safely, I plugged in my OBD II (On Board Diagnostics) code reader to the OBD II unit on the truck. I did not get a message telling me what the issue was. This was unusual since I always get the code identifying the mevhanical problem. I took my truck into the local Chevy dealership service center as I have always taken my vehicle there since it was purchased at this dealership brand new. Long story on this, I was told by the service advisor that the Allison transmission was the issue and had to be replaced with a new one. Needless to say a very costly issue in the $12,000 plus bend over repair cost. After some agonizing thought and puzzlement I decided to get on Yelp and make some calls to pursue a second opinion. Long story on this was finding CRC Transmissions and their positive Yelp reviews. I called and spoke with Todd likely close to the day's closing time. Todd was gracious enough to offer some takes and opinion on the apparent and possible issue/s. The next day I received a call from his wife Lori for an update on my matter. This discussion with her of the likely mechanical issues and repairs, along with her genuine knowledge and expertise sealed the deal for me to tow my truck from the Chevy dealership to their shop for their look and second opinion. From my initial phone contacts to tow drop off of my truck to being kept in the progress loop was just amazing! In this day in age it's not that often to find business folks who are honest, genuine and sincere. This business people is not 5 star but rather 10 star. Todd and his mechanics almost immediately determined that the problem was not the transmission. The issue was identified as the Transmission Control Module (transmission computer unit) and not the Allison transmission (reputable work horse of tranny's). All I can say is wow, wow, wow! I can't say enough about Todd, his mechanics and his special wife Lori at CRC Transmissions. I felt so comfortable and confident that I also agreed to additional preventive mechanical work. Bottom line, CRC Transmissions honest work saved me about $10K. You have a new customer and I will be referring you all to family and friends. I highly recommend CRC Transmissions read more

Surprisingly I found CRC Transmissions through AI. Being a bit skeptical of AI, I did some research and saw great reviews, so thought I would give them a try. AI was right, I had great experience! Todd and his crew were professional and throw, they really know there stuff. Lori was very polite and personable. Had a great conversation with her. From the first call I made to schedule an appointment, to the end of my service. I felt I was in good hands. read more

Todd, Lori and the whole CRC Team are fabulous! They helped me with a complicated situation and got me back on the road. They are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, fair, and good communicators. Go see CRC if you have a transmission or drivetrain problem. I recommend CRC without hesitation. read more

My olde Grand Marquis started slipping gears, I checked for DTCs and none were found. Transmission fluid was clean, so I immediately assumed mechanical transmission damage. I remembered CRC Performance Transmission and got an appointment set up. They diagnosed my car, even checking to see if it was a transmission control module issue. Many shops will just suggest the big rebuild/replace immediately for the quick profit, but not this place. They determined that my transmission needed a rebuild, the price was reasonable and they completed the repair quickly. My car shifts better than way back when I got it ( and it was only 2 years old then). Much love to everyone at CRC Performance Transmission! read more

They're extremely honest and fast. Can't say enough good about them. I've taken my truck in a couple times for various things and they've always impressed me. Go bere! read more

Super transmission super. Great job. I had a complete rebuild. No issues since. Friendly, professional and timely. Check them out

CRC Transmissions did an excellent job on my 2020 toyota tacoma 4 wheel drive Transmission. They where quick, efficient and honest. If i ever have Transmission problems again, I will definitely be coming back here. Good honest people... nothing but good vibes... also it drives like it's brand new... I'm extremely satisfied read more

My 2014 Honda had transmission trouble (a month or so ago) and my local mechanic who I trust was already overloaded with work. He recommended CRC Transmission because he trusts them. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did they fix the problem, but, they didn't have to replace/rebuild the whole unit. It turned out to be a fitting that caused the fluid to leak to a level that the car was not drivable They could have told me the transmission was shot and needed to be replaced, but ,they didn't! The job was certainly cost effective and the work was done in just one day!! My local mechanic was right they can be trusted. Hats off to the great service provided by Lori and Otis (and their team) I now have another trusted mechanic to call when needed :) read more

Honest!! Know what they're doing, responsive, timely and even called a few days after they were done with my truck to see how it was running. Who does that!? I'd recommend CRC all day. A+++++++ read more

Fantastic shop. Pricing is very fair, and their work is high quality. I have a 2017 RAM Power Wagon with the infamous 66RFE transmission. Plenty of horror stories on the internet with regards to reliability. So, I started researching aftermarket parts for improving its durability and longevity. Ended up ordering a collection of parts: Sonnax Valve body, deep transmission fluid pan, line pressure signal booster, thermostat bypass, etc -- to address the weak points. Lorie was awesome to deal with for scheduling and updates on the phone. Todd is a man of few words but clearly knows his stuff and gets the job done right. I'm so happy I found this shop and it'll be my go-to for transmission work going forward. read more

We landed at CRC after a referral from a friend in the automotive business and a bad experience at the dealership. Lori was very accommodating with the entire process of our trans replacement job. Todd and Lori run a great shop and had our vehicle finished as promised for a reasonable price. Nobody wants transmission problems, but if you have them CRC should be your first stop. read more

Amazing service from CRC! Lori was very knowledgeable and helpful and professional! Got me in as soon as my truck needed to be towed in and will definitely recommend anyone to CRC! read more

Best decision I made after being referred by a fellow UPS mechanic coworker to get my transmission done here. It runs great, shifts perfect and the warranty is 2 years/ 24,000 miles. No other transmission shop in town offers that. Only 1 year/ 12000. Best part, they were $800-$1800 less than the competition that I got estimates from and locally owned. read more

Took my Impala to CRC because of an uneasy feeling I got from the competing transmission only shop in Conejo. Met with Laurie who handles the appointments and gets your estimates. Long story short, I am SO HAPPY I used CRC Transmissions. Not only did they provide a transmission service at a fair price - they found I had a bad wheel bearing (causing a noise I thought was coming from my transmission) and were able to replace it along with my service. The best aspect of this .. it would have been so easy to tell me my transmission was going and I'd never would have known better. HONEST and FAIR. How can you beat that combination. I highly recommend CRC Transmission. Thank you Tod and everyone who worked on my car and especially you Laurie for being ON IT with communication and being so friendly and easy to work with. read more

Brought Tod a messed up 4L80 transmission I bought off of Craigslist. He tore it all apart, rebuilt the whole thing, and made it better then new. He finished the full rebuild in a timely manner, the price was reasonable and it was obvious he was an expert and knew what he was doing. I dropped the oil pan down after the first 1,000 miles of driving to see how it was holding up after the rebuild and the oil was clean and the magnet empty. This thing has been performing flawlessly and I know I won't ever need to worry about this transmission. I threw a new filter in and filled it up with new oil. 10 out of 10 would recommend and I will be back for other stuff. read more

Crc Transmission 's is high-quality, honest and amazing service. I took my daughters 2014 Subaru outback and for some repairs they were absolutely great. Todd is a great mechanic very knowledgeable great in communication on helping us and we got the problem solved. Lori his wife that runs the front desk is fabulous. Easy to talk to and very attentive. They are my go to for everything that they can possibly offer for my car repairs. I highly recommend them and I'm so happy I found them. Thank you again for the amazing work anthe honesty and the quality. read more

I was referred to CRC Transmission from my regular mechanic. I wish I would've found this place years ago. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, honest and respectful. I will be using them in the future. read more

Once again, CRC came through for me. A few years ago, a trusted mechanic I had working on a classic Mustang utilized Todd & Lori at CRC for the transmission work on it. It came out perfect. Fast forward to today, and I stopped by with my Chev truck asking if they could find the time for a transmission and diff service. Without hesitation, they set me up for the very next day. Truck runs great, prices are very reasonable - less than the original estimate - and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you, both! read more

I picked CRC on a whim because it was close by and had good reviews and I'm SO grateful I did! I had an awful sound coming from my car when I would accelerate and thought for sure it was related to the transmission. My car is 20 years old with 197K miles on it so I was bracing myself for the worst- turned out to be something totally unrelated and super small to fix! But what stood out to me about my experience is that it was clear I knew very little about the situation and a dishonest mechanic could have easily taken advantage of that, overcharging me in general or charging me extra for things I didn't really need. Todd told me exactly what was going on, fixed it for an extremely fair price, and was honest about how my transmission was doing. I was so impressed, and will absolutely be returning if or when my car needs more maintenance. Thanks so much Todd! read more

Lori and Todd were AWESOME!!! I called them a 4:45 PM on Friday, because our 2003 Toyota 4-Runner was leaving oil spots on the concrete driveway. After checking with our mechanic we found the leak was at the transfer case. I called and spoke with Lori and she scheduled me to bring it in on the following Monday and was able to get it in to checked the transmission and four wheel drive transfer case. Lori provided an estimate for the removing the transfer case, checked the transmission and provided a quote to repair. They were friendly and provide an estimate for the work to be completed. All said and done, the cost was affordable. We refer and use them in the future as well. read more

Rebuilt my Chevy 1500 transmission, fair price, great service and done right on the time they promised. Highly recommend them, family owned and local. I am a strong believer on shopping local. read more

I am so surprised I haven't written a review about these guys yet! They have handled complicated transmissions, clutches and flywheels on multiple of our cars over the years. Everything always works great and they are super nice! A pleasure to do business with. As a woman, I have to say it is nice to do business with guys who treat women well and gave me good prices and were straight up about what was needed. They remind me of the decent kind of guys I grew up with. read more

CRC Transmissions - We trust them with our treasures! - Transmission Repair Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Car has a 135K on it, manual transmission. Wasn't sure if it was the transmission, clutch or driveshaft that's noisy like a bad bearing. He test drove the car and said that it wasn't the trans. He could have just as easily said yes it needs rebuilt. I felt like he was honest, when I do need trans service I will come back for sure. Also referring others there if they need it. read more

CRC transmissions did an excellent job working on my 65 TBird. They were fast and had great pricing. They know their way around classic cars. Tough to find mechanics with this skill set. read more

Great customer service, great work ethic and most importantly honest. I was told my truck needed a rebuild by other mechanics but upon further review Todd found it was just solenoid that needed to be replaced. Saved me thousands. How many mechanics would have just done the rebuild. My transmission mechanic for life. Thanks read more

Brought my Dodge Ram truck to CRC transmissions after a disasterous experience at Shaver Dodge in Thousand Oaks. Thought I had a transmission problem and it turned out to be an electrical issue. There fixed the problem and we're great to deal with. read more

I've been coming to CRC for a couple of decades now. The prior owner, Craig, took the current owner, Todd, under his wing and taught him everything that he knew, back when Todd was a very young man. Craig was a super-knowledgeable and capable mechanic and he instilled and passed that onto Todd, along with the honesty and integrity with which the shop has always been run. Todd couldn't be a finer representative for CRC, as he's an amazingly knowledgeable and skilled mechanic and technician. More importantly, he and his wife, Laurie, the office manager, possess a straight-forwardness, competency, and honesty so needed in businesses today. Recently, I brought my car in for a stubborn leak and not only was Todd able to address the problem, he also noted that my speedometer cable gear was starting to go out and he replaced that for me at the same time. I don't hesitate to highly recommend them. If they are super busy, as they always seem to be, they are worth the wait! read more

Had a transmission light pop up driving today and called up CRC and Todd told me to come by and 5 minutes later he had run a diagnostic on it and drove it around for free to check the issue out. Super appreciative for his expertise and diagnosis which was that it's running fine but there was an issue with one of the gears and to keep an eye out since it's running fine. read more

I highly recommend this shop. They are competent, honest and accommodating. I've had the best experience with them. They build a race transmission for my classic, they have done custom mods for me. Worked on my suspension and fluid systems. They service my Jeep Eco-Diesel. They returned calls in a timely manner and address all my concerns. They have earned my business and I will trust their expertise for all my repair and service needs. Thank you CRC Transmission for all your help. Jack P. read more

Such kind people! I had a terrible worry that I was about to spend above my means to fix my car, as the first mechanic I brought it to told me I'd need a whole new transmission. I brought the car here and Todd let me know I only needed some transmission fluid and then she was running great! It really showed me they aren't just here to charge you more than you'd really need to spend. Todd took the time to test the car many different times to ensure everything was in order, and I couldn't be more pleased. DEFINITELY recommend them! read more

I really want to thank Laurie and Todd for an awesome experience! I own a GMC 2018 1500 Sierra Truck which I take great care of and when my transmission suddenly and aggressively started slipping in almost all gears, I immediately thought it would be better to take it to a GMC dealer and use my extended warranty to replace the transmission! My truck was at the dealer for over a weak just to get a diagnosis and then they told me that they are completely backed up with trucks just like mine which are all having transmission failures! The dealer told me that there is a national back order and it would be over 5 weeks before I would get my truck back! I couldn't believe it! Thank god for the extended warranty I purchased but to get a rental car for over 5 weeks would have cost me around $2200 bucks! I decided to go another route and had 2 legitimate referrals for C R C Transmissions in Thousand Oaks! After talking to Laurie and Todd at C R C and explaining my frustrations about my predicament with the GMC dealer being backed up, they assured me that they would get the insurance appraiser over to their shop ASAP and also use their connections to get a new transmission to the shop shortly after the insurance appraiser signed off for a new transmission! C R C called me after a little over one week letting me know my truck would be ready for pick up in 2 days! Wow, dealer would have taken over 5 weeks CRC took 1 1/2 weeks and handled everything for me and got me back on the road! Customer Service was superior! You guys were an awesome team, thank you so much! Sincerely, Robbie Berger read more

Hello All, I got a really solid rec' from someone else to go to Craig, so I did. My van (1999 GMC Safari) has been throwing a tranny code. Craig had Todd look at it with me (drive it, check the code etc.). Todd and Craig were both very knowledgeable and honest. I didn't feel like I was being sold anything etc. And, they didn't charge me a dime for the consultation. This was better service than the tranny shop I went to a year ago that charged me $150 or something to do the same thing. Thanks Craig and Todd. L read more

CRC Transmissions was great! I needed a new transmission in my 2015 Nissan Quest and they were reasonably priced and offered excellent service. It took about 1.5 weeks because they needed to order the transmission from Nissan - but once they got it delivered, they worked hard to have my car ready ASAP. I feel like they run an honest and hard working auto shop. read more

I have 100% trust in CRC, which is very rare in the automotive world. I've had work done at another well know shop (similar initials) and choose CRC over them any day. I've had a Ford C4 and a Dodge 727 rebuilt, plus a 5 speed transmission swap done in my 65 Mustang. Todd pays attention to every detail and doesn't leave anything to chance. I refer everyone to them without hesitation. read more

Great guys. Very on top of it. Got my beast driving like new. Hard to find shops that will work on vintage trucks and actually do it right. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with Todd the owner. This was my first time here but came as a highly recommended transmission shop from people I trust. I have an '89 K5 Blazer with a tired 700R4 trans. Todd asked me many detailed questions to see what I was planning to use the Blazer for because this would affect the type of converter as well as shift kit that was installed. While the trans was out I also had the transfer case rebuilt. Todd called during the removal of the trans to let me know that the fly wheel was bad as well as the starter going out. I had him replace these as it was the perfect time to do it. He also noticed the rear main seal on the motor was leaking so he replaced that as well! Talk about someone who is honest and knows what he's doing. Thank you again Todd! I will be back with more projects read more

100% incompetence. Diagnostic code indicates selenoid problem in transmission. I walk in & tell Craig. Craig calls over the technician who says he could clean out metal shavings or if necessary, replace selenoid. $400 .... Great! I leave the car. 2 WEEKs later I receive a call: "Call us back." I call back. "Uh, I don't know why we called you." I get another call 3 hours later: "Call us back." I call back. The guy says, "Why is your car here?" UnBELIEVABLE. I gave them the code & after 2 WEEKs they never took 30 seconds to diagnose my car with a $40 diagnostic plug-in tool. read more

These guys are great, I trust them with all of my vehicles. Craig, the owner is trustworthy and knows his sh*t!! Ive had several transmissions worked on here, all with tremendous results. Prices are fair and the workmanship is top notch. They specialize in all types of transmissions, including custom high HP builds. A++ read more

If you need someone honest to work on your transmission this is the place. I took my F150 here after two other shops told me I needed a new transmission ($2500 to $5000 depending on what they found). I paid CRC $600 for some simple parts replacement work - truck runs great! read more
