brought my wife's Jeep in for a transmission flush with one issue. From the day I left there was…read moresome type of rattling noise that was driving me crazy I called the owner and he told me to just bring it in, and I'll take a look at it. Just by coincidence it was some type of muffler issue rattling and making the noise. He called me up said he would fix it for me at no charge. Just added a few washers and tighten it down for me.My point is this is why this place is so recommended by everybody . Most mechanics would've sent me to a muffler shop and been done with me. This is a perfect model of how a business owner should run his business to keep his reputation. I now understand why whoever I asked about a transmission flush this place was always recommended

Recently, I had a vehicle die on us, no acceleration, and assumed it was the transmission. After they diagnosed the problem, it was identified as a throttle issue. Mr. Pat took care to see our van transferred to a shop specializing in that repair, saving us time and money. If you need transmission work in Kenner or Greater New Orleans, these are the people to trust. They know their stuff and treat customers right.

I asked specifically $2,000 out the door/ good to go? He said yes. Kool with me. Got the car to them, (they took forever) I would drive by and see the car in the lot sitting, then they turn around and it's fixed in a day after me calling? To top it off I came with the money (2,000) and then the guy says it's $2,700. Like what, you quoted me 2,000 and never mentioned any price change within the last 24 hours. I paid the 27 but to me it's the principle of communication/ having honor in your word. All that being said yes the car lasted the first year for the warranty (barely) then went out shortly after. I'll never knock a man for doing his job or discredit him. Just need to clean up on the communication skills. Cause it's like, what if I didn't have the extra bread you trying to charge? I'm just SOL? But good luck if you choose them

If you need transmission repair and actually need your vehicle back in a reasonable amount of time,…read moreor in the First, Second, or THIRD time it's promised to you that it will be ready, DO NOT GO HERE!! My husband was in New Orleans and started to have car trouble. Car wouldn't go into gear. Saw that this shop was open on weekends (It was Saturday) and thought this would be a good thing. Figured they could start & finish work faster. Well, turns out that this was false advertising. They WERE NOT OPEN ON WEEKENDS! The husband called as the car was loaded to tow, and was told to call when he got close, so the guy could come and open so the car could go inside. Appears the owner lives close by, and runs in when this type of thing happens, opens for car, and then locks back up. Initially we were told the car would not be ready as promised because the wrong part had been ordered. Then, no go excuse - just not ready on the second date it should have been ready. Then after continued calling, we were told it should finally be completed and they would drive it and call us back. We get the call, head to pick it up in New Orleans to find that it now WILL NOT START!!! Mechanic went on to tell my husband that "The cold weather will drain batteries" and continued to try clumsily how batteries work. Finally husband explained to him that he was well aware of how battery's work. (Also mind you, the temp has not been lower than high 50's with highs in the 70's!!) So, we're told they will charge the battery and call us. We wait in the city for a few hours, get a call "Hey, we're about to close. Car started. Not sure if it will start when you get here." Yep! That's what he said! So, we get there, shop is of course Closed! And yes you guessed it - CAR WILL NOT START!! We had to go buy a new battery & buy tools, return to the shop, remove the old battery, and replace with new one. With a Flashlight! It would have been much better just to have been told the truth, car won't start and you'll need a new battery. But, it appears honesty is not a strong suit here. I'll admit, once the car started, it worked well. But Lord knows it wasn't worth all of the delays and hassle. So, moral of the story: If you can go someplace else, Do That!!

My total ended up being around $7000. It would have been very helpful to have an accurate quote (which could have been managed by them looking into the manufacturer's recommendations regarding that model's transmission before quoting me a lower price). When they had finished the repair, they caught a crack in the transmission housing (which seems to have been the manufacturer's fault). They communicated with me about that very well, and completed the repair with no hassle or extra cost. Their warranty appears solid, and the car runs great!
