This review IS INTENDED for Discount Transmissions on Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia: I would gladly give a rating of "0" if permitted. The gentlemen (and that's being extremely nice), sold us and installed a badly rebuilt transmission... Was told upon pickup to look out for any leaks that are red in color on the ground. It leaked from the time it was returned to me... our neighbor pointed the leaked fluid out to us the week after we got it home. Each time we tried to return the vehicle to have it serviced "under warranty" shortly thereafter, "conveniently" they didn't have a mechanic available to look into or fix it. Thousands of dollars of our hard earned money down the drain. You cannot convince me they didn't know they knew they were installing a piece of junk into my car. This is so hurtful to say the VERY LEAST. I'd say steer clear at all costs. We have spent so much money over the last year paying for the car to be lifted to replace leaked transmission fluid. Verdict the last 2 times we took it back to Philly for it to be looked at? "Looks like the rebuild on this one was bad and I don't have anyone to fix it... the work would have to be outsourced." If you've made it this far into the review, you value honesty, quality and your hard earned money, I wouldn't take the risk. It's not worth the heartache. 1000% DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Discount Transmission Service - Stuck in a parking lot attempting to put my own transmission fluid in my car. - Auto Repair Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I went to them on a Monday due to my son's fusion not working. They were so precise on the problem and worked effortless to help diagnose the problem. They diagnosed it within a day and the price was so much better then I anticipated. At first I was nervous at what the price would be but they were so up front and DID NOT charge me excessively I will send all my cars and if you want an honest transmission person they are the one. read more

being a single female I was in distress. I waited for the tow truck , which he was so nice. I had it dropped off at Dodge dealership only to be told I would have to wait 30 cars ahead of me and MAYBE they can fix it... then I quickly had it towed to Discount Transmissions. They said we will have it done in 3 days. 3 days came and still no one even touched or looked at it. What a dishonest shop. I had to pay for my hotel every day that Discount transmissions continued to not work on my van even though they said one more day...one more day. Enough with the LIES!!! I contacted Joe Pirrone's shop... he knew that I was in a bad situation and went to pick up my vehicle. No run around here. He was prompt, kept in contact with me daily, fixed the transmission, and I made it back to Florida safely!!!!! Thank you so much for a job well done. People if you need your transmission taken care of Joe Pirrone Transmissions is DEFINATELY the place to go!!! Do NOT hesitate!!! DO NOT TAKE IT TO DISCOUNT TRANSMISSIONS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I was looking for someone honest and knowledgeable who would service my Nissan pathfinder transmission. The car would drive by would "buck" every now and then. After speaking with several shops, I called lou. From the conversation, I could tell Lou was on the "up and up" . He ok'd for me to bring my car in for him to check it out, and I did. I left my car with him for the day, he checked it out and all I needed was tramission fluid. Lou checkout my car and did not charge me DIME! There are still honest and reliable people out there like Mr Lou! Thank you for your service! read more

My transmission went bad. I called these guys on a recommendation. AAA picked up my car. They looked at it, return my call with an estimate. They recommended a used transmission for my specific car. The price was right and the car was fixed in two days. No problems. I took the car back for a follow-up inspection. No problems. Drove the car on short and long trips, 18 months later...still no problems. Customer service was honest and straight. I strongly recommend this place for their technical know-how. Transmission places generally have bad reputations. read more

Needed a quick repair and the big guys were no help. Luckily I found Lou's and they accurately diagnosed the issue and were able to get me back on the road in very little time. Highly recommended. read more

These people have had my vehicle for over 2 weeks now and they keep giving me the run around. On the day that they should've had my vehicle ready, I kept calling and they were ignoring my calls until I called from a different number. Someone picked up and told me that the owner left for the day. I asked how was that possible when he told me to call him at noon because he'd be leaving at 3 PM. They haven't even touched my vehicle yet. I'm picking my car up on Monday whether it is fixed or not. At this point, it's not worth the trouble. On top of that, they're overcharging me. I should've just purchased the transmission on my own from Nissan and paid a local dealer $800 to install it. We're going on week 3 and I need my car to travel to other counties for work. I have to wait until Monday to try to get in contact with the owner since the shop is closed on the weekends. I am BEYOND frustrated. read more

My regular mechanic recommended them when my engine/transmission light came on. They checked it and found it was likely just a wire. Charged me nothing and I got lucky. That light can stay on as far as I'm concerned until I'm good and ready to get the wire checked...lol read more

Awesome. Lou does not bullshit you (as other reviewers have mentioned). He fixed my car for a very decent price and was incredibly kind. I will return if I ever have transmission problems again. Go here. You won't like it if you're a superficial asshole/used to people kissing your ass, but Lou and his team are as nice and as competent as mechanics come. read more

Lou is a straightforward, pragmatic, no nonsense kind of guy. I "thought" I was having some issues with my 2011 Hyundai Elantra. He gave me a quote for a replacement Transmission. When I took the car in for evaluation they determined I did not need the replacement. What do I know? Pretty much nothing about cars. I have to count on people I can trust and Lou is one of them. He did not charge me for the evaluation! I will definitely refer anyone I know who needs transmission work to Lou! read more

Took my car to discount transmission's and the first time I can have trust in mechanics. The prices are fair and reasonable and they do a great job. read more

So I brought my car in for trans service. Not knowing what to expect. I was quite nervous. I met with Lou. He was very easy to deal with explained to me what was wrong in Lemans terms that I actually understood. I will now always recommend Lou and his trans shop . Great experience . Very few ever happen with your car read more

Last week my car died after losing ability to shift into gear and then turn on at all. I was told by one mechanic that the transmission needs to be replaced, but decided to get a second opinion. Very glad I took her to Lou, who was able to get my car up and running in almost no time. I will need a new transmission sometime in the coming months to a year, but Lou was able to get me driving and give me time to figure out my next move. Plus, he priced out a used transmission so the sticker shock of transmission replacement was greatly reduced. Lou took good care of me and my car and took the time to explain what the issue was. I'm not one to write reviews, but he took my car nightmare from extremely overwhelming to very manageable. Would definitely recommend this shop, and Lou, to others. read more

Took my car there for them to take a look and see what they can do but the place didnt feel comfortable at all and in the end their price was way too high so i took it to a place in darby. I dont recommend this place read more

Overcharge for parts. Lied and told me that I could pay with a card in the store, only to tell me that it is cash only. Very sketchy place, avoid. read more

Had my transmission rebuilt on May 2013 for my 2000 Honda odyssey so far it is still moving and working

Lou is THE nicest guy I've ever encountered at a garage! He was very accommodating of our financial situation and did the work on OUR schedule, a great overall experience. Not to mention the FREE towing (they saved our car from the PPA tow-truck!) I can't recommend this place enough for anyone who needs a transmission or clutch! read more

I had an annoying vibration issue with my truck for 7 years that no mechanic could seem to diagnose. Brought it to Discount Transmissions and they had it figured out in no time. The price for repair was very reasonable. Lou and the guys are stand up people. I will definitely recommend to others. read more
