Unfortunately our transmission on a 2017 Ford Transit van starting to fail. Not cheap to fix no matter where you go, so you want to make sure that it's done right. This is a tricky transmission that a lot of shops don't have experience with rebuilding, often times they will default to a full replacement (no kidding: about $9,000). Vince has experience with these types of transmissions and was able to rebuild it, and also upgraded some of the internal parts to make it more robust. Easy going vibe, too. He has a gift of being able to explain complicated automotive concepts to the layperson, and helped us understand exactly what we were paying for. read more

My 2017 tahoe i had for all of 6 days my transmission has some sluggish issues so I took it to dealer not knowing there was a great shop down the road so after the dealer managed to completely break the transmission. I called over to fairfield transmission and they fixed it right up and runs better than ever Thanks Vince and Fairfield Transmission for your excellent work and service my family is back on the road!!! read more

I brought Vince a mystery issue with a Ford Edge I had just bought. He completed the first repair but the part was faulty and immediately had the same issue return. He brought it back in, submitted the warranty part for a new one, did not charge me to do any of the work again and then, when we discovered the transfer case also had an issue, he got me a great deal on a gently used part and put that in and took a bit off the cost of that as well...just to be fair to me (which I really appreciate). Overall, I intend to make this my new shop for anything I need done on my car; he's knowledgeable and provides great customer service. I highly recommend Vince and his crew, they are all awesome and they take good care of your car. read more

Vincent gave me a call the day of my first review post. We had a good conversation. Most importantly we are now communicating about the project. Vince is putting a 700R in my '70 C10. It's a project for sure that requires extra communication between the customer (me) and the builder (Vince). Vince called me this this afternoon and invited me to the shop to look at the progress on the differential upgrades and transmission install. Barring any unforeseen issues, I think the new phrase of the day is "Done this week" I am very thankful to Vince and his commitment to customer service and quality workmanship. I am looking forward to getting and driving my truck with the upgrades, and if all goes as well, as we are all expecting it to, I will upgrade the review as well. For now, things are really "Good." Thanks Vince and Crew. read more

Vince said he would honor the warranty I had on my car..He is very unprofessional and will make up stuff about your car so that he can charge you 4 the work..I've had a transmission leak for 2 years that they couldn't fix..I've been back 2 the shop about 5 or 6 times. Vince said he would take care of the problem..wouldn't let me talk 2 the owner of the company..said he couldn't get in touch with the owner and its a waist of time..Believe when I say take your business some where else........... read more

Listen, let me tell you about the owner Vince and his team. The customer service is everything. Vince is great and very passionate about what he does. He did my transmission on my camry four years ago. It's still going strong today. Thank you for always looking out for your customers and providing excellent a excellent service. read more

Vince was extra thorough with the inspection of my truck to ensure he was fixing the right issues. We sent pictures and even showed me once I was back at the shop. He fixed the issue speedy quick. Now that my truck is back on the road the issue is completely gone and drives better than ever. I will certainly take my truck back to him if it needs work. read more

Vincent is awesome! He replaced my front differentials for an unbeatable price, has the knowledge to fix things that most repair shops in the area don't, and is very friendly. What else can you ask for. I will definitely be going back for any of my cars repairs. read more

I had Vince Rebuild my 4L70E transmission in my 06 Gmc sierra 1500 4x4 pickup. I had him do a stage 2 build, built to handle 500hp/500 ft Tq, upped the stall speed, shift kit, corvette servo, heavy duty planatary gears. He was detail oriented to what my wants/needs were. He kept things in my budget range. The performance difference was very noticeable. I was also looking for an extended warranty and he gave me one of those for my own piece of mind on my investment. His prices are reasonable, he took a little longer then orginally expected but Im glad he took his time. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable, very communicative. Vince Made this experience very easy and low stress. A little bit more then a year after the rebuild. The truck is still running great. He will have my business again because of how professional, knowledgeable and friendly he was. Quality and service was impeccably. Thank again Vince. 5 stars all day! read more

Great customer service. Had a bad transmission and he was thorough in checking to make sure that it wasn't anything smaller than that before coming to that conclusion. Didn't make me feel pressured and helped me make the best decision for me. read more

Vince and his fellow technician are courteous, knowlegable and are highly competitive when it comes to cost. They have repaired two of my cars, did the work on time and right the first time. Vince is a super person and always has your best interest at heart. I highly recommend this service and will continue to use Fairfield Transmissions for all my vehicles in the future. Thank for your excellent service. read more

The experience was dreadful on top of the fact my truck was down I made 5 trips to pick it up and it wasn't ready or test driven ended up purchasing another trans for them to install. Fact is the old man retired left it to the son and I can't believe the number of 5Star reviews based on my experience guess even a broke clock gets it right 2x a day. read more

Vince said he would do us a favor and go off a warranty that was given. He did us a favor alright. Messing with paperwork. Stating things that weren't really wrong with the truck at drop off. (We have all the proof we need) we've contacted the BAR and are getting a lawyer. He could seriously hurt someone with all the "work" he does. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I have a 2017 Kia Forte and was involved in an accident that caused my engine to seize. I contacted them for an engine replacement quote online and was contacted by someone the same day. I was skeptical as this was my first time doing something like this but over a few conversations with the very knowledgeable manager, Vince, we were able to come to an agreement for an engine replacement that was $500 less than what I had found online. Not to mention I would've still had to find a way to have it shipped but thankfully he was able to find me the exact engine I needed with 30,000 miles less than the one I had! Just one week after dropping my car off I had gotten a call that my car had its engine replaced ahead of schedule. Very much so grateful for them giving me back a car that works just as amazing as when I first drove it off the lot. Highly recommend 10/10 everything. read more

We were in communication with Vince the most & he was awesome! Super knowledgeable and very kind. We brought our jeep here for a second opinion and he gave it without hesitation & presented his findings in a very straightforward manner that we could understand as well. Highly recommend bringing any transmission issues this way! read more

Vince and his shop have been very helpful in resolving the problems with my BMW. Stand up guys!

Vince the manager at Fairfield Transmission is best.I had a Chevy 2500 work van (very heavy) with major Transmission issues. I got several quotes from shops in Fairfield and Vacaville. After seeing the quote and meeting their staff I knew I found my shop. The transmission was finished on time and my trusty old work van is back on the road. Great service and great price what else is there? read more

Notwithstanding the positive reviews here, they won't even return 4 phone calls regarding a "check transmission light" situation. More like zero stars. read more

Vince was super helpful! Went out of his way and got everything fixed in a timely manner!

I had my 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 Allison transmission go out on my truck. So I called around and I fell in love with this place! Not only did they get me on the lift right away but they also sent me pictures and walked me though what they were doing everyday. I was in and out within a week. It was affordable, fast and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my truck. read more

Fairfield Transmission Specialist - 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 - Auto Repair Near Me - Fairfield, California

I usually don't write reviews but after my experience at Fairfield Transmission I had to! Being a woman and not really knowing much about cars I get really nervous about doing anything to it let alone get any services done; but Vince made me feel very comfortable and really took the time to answer all my questions. I felt very confident in leaving my car there. My car is fixed and is in great condition! If you're looking for a trustworthy and honest place I highly recommend Fairfield Transmission to all my friends and family!!! (P.s Ask for Vince the manager) read more

As per my last review I explained the situation and the unfortunate circumstances that came to pass but get this; took it to a new mechanic he looked at my transmission and said nothing was wrong with it. There was no crack like Vince said, there was a sensor loose and my fluid cap needed to be replaced. The new mechanic put fluid into the car after and it's completely fine. No leaks, no problems. This place did not even look at my car one time to access the problem, I'm assuming he just guessed what was wrong. Vince almost had me buy a brand new $5k transmission and I'm glad I didn't do that for him to probably turn around and do something shady behind my back, who knows what really goes on here. Bottom line is, Don't waste your time and definitely don't waste your money. This place will never be worth it. read more

I called all around town, and this place provided the most professional and positive experience. Not only did they give me the best deal out there, they kept in constant communication with me to make sure my needs were met in a timely manner. They did a fantastic job, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car than the guys here at Fairfield Transmission! Thank you for all your help! I'm so glad I ignored the negative reviews. I had no issues whatsoever, quick turn around, and will be coming back in the future. read more

Vince at Fairfield Transmission does great work and very trustworthy! Basically had to rebuild my whole transmission! His estimate was a great price and was right on target even after finding more work that needed to be done after getting it apart.

This review is on behalf of my senior parents who asked me to write a good review for the great customer service here! They were very thankful for how honest Vince Perez was. He kindly explained that they could choose a potentially expensive repair but that it wasn't necessary. He let them know what to look out for but assured them that they didn't need to worry. Thank you, Mr. Perez, for helping my parents! read more

Vince was professional and very helpful. I ordered my transmission thru a third party business and it took forever to arrive. He stayed in contact the whole time and kept his word on pricing and completion time had my vehicle back on the road within a week as promised . The vehicle has ran solid ever since with no issues. Repeat customer for life. Highly recommended!! Don't be fooled by other shops he is the real deal read more

Really satisfied with these guys. My rebuilt transmission failed and I had to get it repaired down in So Cal. They honored their warranty and helped me get it repaired down here and refunded me the difference. Highly satisfied! read more

Ed and his team are the best it comes for your transmission needs. I do all my own automotive work, but when it comes to automatic transmissions I leave it to the experts. Fairfield transmission listened to what I wanted to do with my vehicle and built the transmission to the performance level that I wanted, no "generic" rebuild here, and I drove away with an exceptional product at a great price (and an awesome warranty). read more

Vince at Fairfield Transmission went above and beyond to help us with our hybrid vehicle. We originally went to the dealership for a diagnosis and paid a large amount just for them to tell us it would be a very expensive fix. We took it here for a second opinion. Vince went out of his way to find affordable solutions for us. He drove and stored the vehicle for several days before we decided what to do. He spent a lot of time talking to us and problem solving. Definitely recommend and will return if we ever have to in the future. read more

First impression....I highly recommend checking out Fairfield Transmission! Everyone I met there was friendly and very knowledgeable. It has the feel of a family run business of the good old days. The shop itself isn't spit and polish by far, but the quality of service I received was excellent, so don't be discouraged by it's rough exterior. These guys seem to really know what they're doing, and are honest, which is what really matters. read more
