My faithful Versa, which has never caused me a day of trouble, suddenly started having transmission…read moreissues - the equivalent of a perfectly healthy person suddenly being on the edge of heart failure. The dealership told me they'd have to replace the transmission, which was going to cost me upwards of $3,400. This is never something you want to hear out of nowhere. Fortunately, someone at Art's Automotive pointed me in the direction of Wilf's. Wilf's had a look at my car, confirmed the same problem the dealership found, and said they could just replace the stepper motor for about $1,200. I was more than willing to give that a try, especially given the great reviews here. They had to source the stepper motor, and it sounds like it wasn't easy to track it down, but they kept me in the loop with what was going on and when they'd expect it to arrive. My car was running well enough to keep going in the meantime; it was more of a question of inevitable failure at some point. When the day came for the operation, they let me have a courtesy car. Everything went smoothly, right on schedule, and my Versa has been humming along as well as before. Everyone I spoke with at Wilf's was pleasant, intelligent, courteous, and even fun to deal with. I got the sense they were honest and doing their best at all times. I hope not to need them again, but if any other transmission issues come up in the future, I know where I'm headed.

My 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan with just under 60,000 miles on it dropped into "limp" mode driving up…read morethe Fairholme hill on my way home to Forks. I had to drive it home in 2nd gear. When I started it the next day, it no longer went into limp mode. I crossed my fingers, hoping it had "fixed itself," but a few days later it happened again. I called Tranco and talked to Mitch. He explained that "limp" mode can be caused by many things, but gave me a few things to look for. He also explained how to check the transmission fluid level, since the van doesn't come provided with a dipstick. He suggested that I take the van to a local garage so that they could put it on a scanner to make sure that the problem was transmission-related. I took his advice. The problem was transmission related, but it wasn't always there. It would drive fine one day, then go to "limp" mode the next. I called back to Tranco and talked to Brian. He explained that it's difficult to diagnose an intermittent problem. I explained that I couldn't trust driving the van anymore. He checked for technical service bulletins. He saw that there was an available control module update, but the Dodge dealer would have to do it. When I told him how far away I lived, and asked if he could help me get it fixed, he agreed to let me leave the van long enough for them to drive it enough to diagnose and repair it. So I dropped it off for a couple of weeks. He made the appointment at the dealer and got the update done. The module update added diagnostic capability. That, combined with driving the van like it was his own when he had a reason to go somewhere, enabled him to diagnose the problem with confidence. One of the clutches in the transmission was sloppy -- basically worn out. Brian clearly explained how he'd come to the conclusions that he had, and clearly described what they would do to make sure that the problem was properly fixed. My background includes having run my own garage for 26 years, and having been an ASE-certified master mechanic. Everything Brian said to me made sense. I told him to go ahead and rebuild the transmission. The price was reasonable, especially considering the good service they had already provided to me. We got the van back three months ago. I'm pleased to say that the transmission performs astoundingly well. It's better now that it was when we bought it. The shift points are so smooth that they're barely detectable. It drives like a different vehicle. I've fixed and replaced a lot of Dodge van transmissions in my life, but none of them drove as well as the one that Tranco built for me. Their rebuilder is a master builder. Their service is topnotch.

I'm from out of town and broke down on my way into PA due to a shop back at home doing a bad job…read morewith a clutch install. I first went to a different shop in PA which sent me here because they thought the whole transmission was bad (I was skeptical of this because to me it really felt like the clutch was slipping, but I figured a transmission place would still be able to work on a clutch, whereas a regular shop might not be able to do transmission work if that was actually the problem). Bayview could have taken advantage of me because they knew I was stuck out of town and had a 2-3 week lead time for most work. They also could have told me that it was the transmission and charged a lot for fixing that. However, they agreed that it was just the clutch and got me in and out with a new clutch in under 2 days. Being a city slicker, I also ended up actually saving money overall, since labor charges are relatively low here compared to in Seattle. The new clutch felt great from the start (unlike the bad one that grated and crunched in 1 and R from the beginning, which the installers refused to acknowledge, despite the grating and crunching continuing for almost 2 years) and has been performing as expected since. If I ever needed a transmission rebuild that wasn't an emergency situation, I might honestly consider coming out here for the work and making a trip out of it. Also, the desk people were super nice!

I brought in my car to have the steering fixed, and they forgot to replace the panel underneath the steering column. Unfortunately due to its location I never noticed until much later. A year later I brought it in to have a windshield wiper motor replaced, it was replaced but misaligned, and the wiper arc didn't cover some of the windshield. I brought it in again to have that fixed and the transmission looked at, as the transmission was starting to experience issues. They told me it might be fixed by replacing the transmission fluid, which they did, but they charged me for fixing the windshield wiper misalignment, which was their mistake to begin with! Finally, two weeks after they replaced the transmission fluid, the transmission failed completely. I'm a bit resentful about this, I feel a mechanic should know that a transmission problem (one severe enough to render the car eventually undrivable after two weeks) couldn't be solved by just replacing the fluid. They replaced the transmission, and it works fine now, but: - The steering wheel cowling wasn't fastened properly, and slid down to block the gas pedal while my wife was on the highway. - They replaced the clutch, despite it being only a year old and my requesting they not do that during the estimate. - When I brought their attention to the panel missing from underneath the steering wheel (which they had neglected to replace from the steering job) the mechanic just shrugged and said he had noticed it missing from the 'bad' job done on the steering, completely oblivious that it was their previous work. - They charged me again for new transmission fluid. Admittedly I don't know if the fluid can be retained or not, but given the cost of replacing the transmission + their faulty assumption about the new fluid fixing things to begin with, it just felt like a poke in the eye.
