I drive a 2003 Dodge Dakota 4x4 with 57000 original miles. it runs and shifts fine, I just want to get routine service on it when it hits 60000 and also wanted to have the 4x4 mechanism checked. The problem with this salesman who answered the phone is he wouldn't give me a straight answer. If that business does not have the expertise to do this work, he should have been honest enough to refer me to a more knowledgeable professional. I don't have time to get their $139.95 diagnostic that I don't need because it is just a routine maintenance issue which doesn't need an overpriced analysis, trying to get me to approve unnecessary work. Don't waste time and money with this place.

They were kind understanding and absolute saints. I sent for a Uber and started looking for a rental car. Totally thinking we are screwed, but by the time the Uber got there the had already completed the repair! The price ..well that could have gone south as well ..but again they were complete angels and we rolled out for a little over $ 300.00 dollars !! They could of price gouged us but they were kind and understanding. My faith in humanity is restored. Also H & H Wrecker saved us as well..Have a little Faith everyone,good people are still out there!!! I give them a 100/100 dont be put off by the shop it doesnt look like much but I have a feeling God has big things in store for this family.

These guys really are the best and I am SO glad my transmission failed me in Corpus. I had the transmission go on my Lexus and with the good reviews I had it towed there for an estimate. Not only did they fix it perfectly but they offer a 3yr 75000 warranty (including parts and labor) which is much longer and better than most. The Lexus dealer was going to be more expensive and have a shorter warranty. They put it all back together and its running like a top! Plus I LOVE that the do all the rebuild work onsite... buying a rebuilt transmission from an unknown source is not a good idea and brand new OEM ones are very expensive. These guys seemed very honest and great to work with!

From the very first phone call, the gentleman I spoke with was kind, patient, and attentive. He explained everything clearly, fixed only what needed to be fixed, and charged a fair price. No scare tactics, no upselling, no games -- just genuine, knowledgeable service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop to anyone looking for an honest mechanic who truly cares about their customers!!

Over time I have developed the opinion that repairs at the dealership are overpriced and under skilled; especially if you know where to go instead. I needed specialized troubleshooting with sensor problems on my vehicle. Ace Transmission got my problem fixed for what I consider a very reasonable price. This is a legacy and family owned business, and I am pleased to have received such good service. I would definitely use this place again.

When I first called for an appointment and asked for the cost of a Service B I got "It depends" and no amount. I went to this location specifically for a transmission flush, but they were unable to flush it and didn't call me to tell me that. All their costs are very high. I was charged $175 for 4 spark plugs. Their labor costs are extremely high. Get a full written detailed estimate BEFORE you let them work on your car and make them stick to it. I didn't and boy do I regret it.

Wanting to make sure this new (used) car was safe I opted for both inspections. Within a couple hours I was sent a detailed list of things from their courtesy inspection that needed repair along with photos. And soon after received a phone call with the details and he was happy to help with any questions I had. My reasoning for a missing star was I asked for the details on the $159 inspection and was told everything looked great, but that could have been because the seller wiped it clean (?!). I'm just your typical women who knows nothing about cars and had no idea this was possible. I felt taken advantage of for not being told about this before I agreed to pay $159. On top of that, there was some kind of $12 fee I was not told about that brought my total to $172 after taxes. I really appreciate their kind customer service and their nice clean waiting room but I would still recommend anyone who has no clue about cars to ask around before spending money here.

It's been a couple of years since I had that car and I now know that those are very clear signs of a bad transmission. Something these people would definitely have known, but instead decided to hide behind not being able to read what was wrong with the car because the battery didn't have any history on it. BAD people, I hope no one else has to go through this.
