Simply the best!! read more

I'm glad we came across Howard from Fred Transmissions from Massapequa. He diagnosed and repaired our Van torque converter and 100% transmission clean up. He said it would take approximately a week. He worked with us step by step: he recommended a place to get a rental where we were able to get a rental vehicle at an affordable price while he worked on our van. Then while he had my van he kept us informed every step of the way. We are happy we found someone that really heard what we needed. I recommend Fred transmission and his floor manager Ron. Great staff. 100% someone I can trust. read more

They held my car for five weeks to put a training in But there was more to it. I had to keep coming back to him about the transmission. And then he's not a good mechanic in Massapequa to get a transmission pump or any other type of work read more

Fred's Transmission World - Don't ever give your car to them because I had a wind of junking afterwards - Auto Repair Near Me - Massapequa, New York

I was having trouble with my Mercedes. It would not shift into gear Howard the shop owner was kind enough to take me under his wing and give me an excellent price on a solution for the transmission. All in all, I could not be happier. read more

My transmission died on Ocean Parkway. I had it towed to a mechanic who then suggested Fred's. Howie at Fred's had it immediately towed to his shop. Later that day, he called me with the estimate and promised to do what he could on the price. He saved me over two thousand dollars. I was also supposed to be trading the car in for a new car before this happened. Howie advised me to sell the car on my own because they had offered very little for the trade in. I took that advice and found that I could get alot more money. He was extremely helpful and informative as was the mechanic who worked on my car. I would definitely recommend this shop. read more

Do NOT bring your car here. They are liars. They told me I had a leak and wanted to charge me $1,800 so I brought it somewhere else for a second opinion and there was no leak. I wouldn't trust a thing these guys say. read more

I brought my 2011 Infiniti M37X to Fred's Transmission World because it was the closest Transmission shop to my home and I did not want to have the car towed to a shop. I am skeptical of Auto shops and felt that if it were towed somewhere, I'd have fewer choices regarding the repair of my car. Anyway, i brought it to Howie and I am glad I did. I was concerned because transmissions can be super expensive and the timing could not be worse to get an huge, unexpected bill to pay and I need my car to earn a living. Howie greeted me with a smile and demeanor that put me at ease. I explained the problem I was having with the car and that I needed to be have the repair done quickly so I could get to work. He asked me if it was OK to test drive the car so he could diagnose the transmission. He also had me along for the test drive. I was expecting him to pull it in the shop and have a computer and a technician evaluate the car. I also expected to have to either leave it for a while or wait for a long time before having any information. I certainly did not expect the owner of the shop to personally have a look at my car and right away. As we drove, he turned of the HVAC system, radio and opened the window so he could hear and feel how the car performed. It only took him a few minutes to diagnose. He told me not to sweat it because he thought the transmission needed a relatively inexpensive part and that he could have me back on the road in a day or 2. When we got back to the shop, he made a call and ordered the part. He told me the repair would cost $400 and he would call me as soon as the work was completed. This was around 3PM. I was relieved that the repair wasn't gonna a really costly one and that I'd be back in business fast. He called me the next morning and told me the work was done and I could pick the car up. This was probably the best experience I have ever had with an auto repair. I was pleasantly surprised to receive such quick, professional and personal service from a busy transmission shop for such a small job from a first-time customer. Howie and Fred's Transmission World handled my problem with a sense of urgency and respect. It was obvious that they genuinely valued my business. I would highly recommend Fred's Transmission World if you ever need transmission work. read more

The worst of the worst. Please listen and do yourself a favor before going to this rat of a place. The old grandpa that runs it charges you 995 right off the bat to look at whats wrong for your transmission. Then if you do the work with him, you won't need to pay the 995 so he claims... Whatever it is, the price to fix your transmission will be insanely high so he screws you either way since he always has you starting your bill at 995 minimum. Good luck if you guys decide to use him for any business, I can't believe this con artist has been in business for this long. read more

I am very pleased with the repair I received at Fred's Transmission.

I will highly recommend this mechanics shop to anyone needing a high level of expertise. read more

Fred's Transmission World - Auto Repair Near Me - Massapequa, New York

I was in LI visiting my brother when my 1998 Volvo broke down. Fred's Transmission World was the closest transmission shop so I had it towed there. I cannot say enough good things about my experience there, from when I arrived to when I got my car back...and I'm a tough critic!! Turn around time was great, good service, fair price. I would highly recommend Fred's Transmission World. read more

The negative reviews here are puzzling to me. Clearly competitors are attempting to discredit a very busy, competent & competitive transmission shop. Any real customer who had prior interactions with other dealers/mechanics and walked into this shop will feel the difference immediately. Howard is extremely patient, detail-oriented and helpful. Every car / transmission is unique. But rest assured that he will do his best to have yours fixed professionally and the car will run like new. read more

If you're looking to fix your transmission please look somewhere else!!! This guy Howard the owner comes out as a nice guy in the beginning but in reality a monster. I came to the shop because reviews were so good but I think it's so fake. He told me he's going to diagnose my transmission for free. Then calls me up and tells me there's no way to know for sure if we're not going to open it up. And I agreed, and asked how much will it cost me in worst case scenario. He replied $1200 if you want to proceed leave $600 deposit and we'll go ahead. I agreed and left him a deposit. He calls me up next day and tells me there's a problem and it would cost $2199 to fix. I immediately asked what happened to worst case scenario $1200? He said few hard parts were broken and I said we had agreement for $1200 worst case scenario. That's where he became a douchebag and said there's always an option where you can pick up your car and loose your $600 deposit. SCAM ARTIST please save yourself a headache and money!!! read more

Fred's transmission is where you want to be in the case of a major transmission failure these are professionals who take time to comfort you and guide you to your next steps to successfully repair and put you back on the road FREDS TRANSMISSION YOU ARE PHENOMENAL I LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP UP THE AWESOME AND AMAZING WORK read more

Brought my Range Rover with a transmission stuck in 3rd gear to Howard. Transmission works perfectly now and I saved thousands! I can't say enough about Howard and his guys at this shop. These guys are very professional and personable! The best in the business! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Just like the real reviews that warn you to stay away from this shyster, I am warning you. His free estimate cost me over $1000 to put my transmission back together if I didn't use his very expensive services. Read the reviews, this is his pattern. Go somewhere else! read more

i had my 2013 Honda accord fixed at Fred's transmission world. My car had no reverse and no over Drive. Fred's fixed my car in two days, and the car drives perfect. highly recommended read more

Great service. Mechanic's mechanic. Already recommended them to my family and co-workers. So important to have a mechanic you can trust. Estimate came in right on target. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! !! Same day service. Could not have had a better experience! read more

Howard is a thief. Got my transmission redone by him. It broke down. I had a warranty for a year, because I couldn't find the receipt at first, he acted like he didn't know me!! Said he would look up my transmission that he rebuilt in the system, and claimed he "never found it". read more

Needed a new transmission and waited about a week before I was able to pick my vehicle up. Only to have to return four additional times before the slipping stopped. Each time I was told it was fixed. They had my car for at least 6 weeks in total. Before a year was up the transmission started slipping again. Any good experience has to have been lucky..(so far). I wouldn't go back there if they gave me a transmission for half priced. If you go there - Good Luck. read more

I have known Howie for years and he does such quality work and I highly recommend him, his shop is very clean and organized, I took my Range Rover to have the transmission worked on and it still runs like new after 5 years, I always go back to Howie because I had an excellent experience with him, his prices are good and he is willing to work with you as much as he can, his wife Roe is a sweetheart, I can't believe some of the negative reviews I have read read more

Here is an update on the repair: - They agreed to repair my transmission for $2,100 - Next day it would not shift past the 3rd gear -brought my car back, it spent two weeks in the shop - picked it up today, drove it home and transmission broke again Will bring it back to the shop tomorrow. Meanwhile, will file the law suit to get my money back!!! PLEASE do NOT do business with them, save your money! read more

Do yourself a favor and avoid this slithering reptile of a owner. I went to a real mechanic and I found out that .instead of ordering the right part he used duct tape to make things for. Now I'm 2000$ in the hole and howard won't take responsibility read more

I don't know where to begin. Howard & Roe, they are sweethearts, I've made new friends. I was skeptical at first to take my Benz to a transmission shop other than the dealer but Howard being so patient & listened to my problem unlike any other car shop who would ask you to come & charge you for a diagnosis. Howard's a veteran in this business & know how to run his show. I was convinced & I took my car to Fred's. They spent almost 2 hours with me with the test drive, diagnosis & explaining me the problems I might have & gave me a couple of different solutions. I was convinced & came back end of the week & dropped it off. There were other aspects to the transmission other than just the actual transmission that needed to be fixed, Howard fought tooth & nail to get me the best prices on all the OEM parts I needed. At the end of the week, I took the car delivery. As he promised, the car drove like out of the showroom. It took its course to break in the new parts & get re-adjusted & re-aquatinted with the cars electronic modules. Today I'm happy to have Howard & Roe as friends. I happen to own a Burger Bar in Rockville Centre & it's always a treat to see my friends come for dinner & drinks. Did I mention to you that they also provide 2 days of free rental, so your on your way to work right away. Also, he followed up on how it was driving almost every other day just to make sure everything's ok. I love you guys. Best car repair experience I've ever had. I will hands down recommend Fred's Transmission World with my eyes shut. read more

Five stars. I came over to them when Ford couldn't help me out they had my car up and going again in less than a week. 2013 Ford Explorer. 15000 miles later still going strong. read more

Excellent service. Reliable, fast, highly recommended. Very happy with their service. A+++

Howard is the best. A real honest guy. A pleasure to deal with. Even gave me a ride to pick up my car.

Great Professional Company! My transmission blew up while I was on vacation in New York from Florida. Freds Transmission World was able to arrange for my car to be towed to their shop and got my car fixed in just 2 days! They really helped me out in a bind. Not only were they fast their prices were actually incredibly reasonable! read more

Unfortunately I had some problems with my car's Transmission while I was in Long Island. Decided to take my vehicle over Fred's transmission world turned out it was a minor issue had a defective speed sensor or something along those lines. All I can say is it was just a few hundred dollars and I was more than happy to pay the bill and be on my way. Good job read more

I have a 2005 Cadillac that the dealership wanted $3900 to fix the transmission. These guy quoted me $1495 but after opening it up found I need another $240 in parts. Ended up costing me just over $1700 so a hell of a lot cheaper than the dealer. Took them three days and everyone there was friendly. I'd rather have a new Cadillac but since I can't afford that, these guys save me $2000 over the dealers price. read more

For over 10 years, my husband has collected falling apart vintage cars and routinely has Fred's repair the transmissions. Thanks to their honesty, integrity, and extremely low prices, he can continue adding to his collection. Since money is tight, Fred's works with us and stands behind every transmission. Occasionally, we would stray to try to get a cheaper price, and would get burnt, and have to bring it to Fred's for a properly installed transmission. read more

Howard is a total scammer. I have brought a few cars to him, mostly for transmission work. At first, I trusted him because he makes himself seem like a good and knowledgeable person, however, he is not. He always ends up charging me much more than promised but I never complained or argued, I just paid. The last time I brought my car to him, he also ended up charging more than he guaranteed he would charge. But not only that, he had the car for THREE weeks. I called his store at least 4 times a week and his wife answered and told him to call me back but never did. At the end I had to go over there myself and then he tells me a bunch of bullshit. After we paid more than what we were promised it would cost, we left and a short time later we have other issues with the car. So if he give you a cheap price, it is most likely because he isn't fixing the whole problem. I did not bring it back to him but will probably need to file a lawsuit against him. HE IS A TOTAL SCAMMER, DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO HIM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF. P.S. all the positive reviews are probably from his family, friends, and wife (ROE) and he does not check your transmission for free unless you end up letting him do the work. read more

I called freds transmission shop they told me it was 700 to rebuild the tranny & I left my car there & I called back & they told me they have to see whats in it & if it requires buying parts they going to let me know, I called them back again & told me it was going to be 2500 to fix, and if I didn't want to do it I had to pay 700, so I paid the 2500 & I also told them can you guys check if theres any other problems to tell me so I can be aware & as soon as I left I ask him everything is good, he said yes, as soon as I drive it my RPM was close to hitting 0 & I went to stop at the bank & my battery was shot, so I had to call someone to come jump me and buy a new battery & I live in long island by the way, so I came back 2 weeks later on a Saturday to see if he can check why the RPM is so low, he said I have no one here, come back next week & I came from long island & had to go back cause he didn't want to do anything & 1 to 2 and half month later I been hearing noises in the hood of the car & when I went to go take it to a regular shop they told me it was the tranny that was messed up, I tried to take it back to freds transmission & I got stuck in the middle of the parkway because something in my tranny snapped & it wouldn't move no where & had to tow it to the shop & paid $240. So I called the shop the next day cause it was late and i told them you need to give me the money back for the tow because that is not my problem that you guys didn't do your job right & they said ill see what I can do & call me back tomorrow. if I don't get my money back, ill take them to court & also get my money back for the tranny for being a bunch of bullshitter, Luckily I have another car that I still could of went to work with....I DO NOT RECOMMEND NOOO ONE TO GO THERE, TRUST ME!! UNLESS YOU WANT A HORRIBLE JOB AND GET RIPPED OFF!! read more

My car wasn't that bad just a little noise under my feet if I drove over 50 but I wanted it to be checked, so I took it to what use to be King Bear in Seaford, and they sent my car to this place where they said it was the transmission and that they'll fix it for 350.00. The next day they call my husband saying that it will also need some new parts and now it will be 1,200.00 to which he respond that we didn't have that kind of money. Then Howard told my husband that he could get a loan for him to fix the car. the next day after my husband signed the lease they called saying now it will be 2,500.00 to fix the car, at this point I realize this was a fraud, then my husband told him that we didn't want to fix the car at that price and he said well you have to pay me 800.00 already to put the car together and it's not going to work at all.then I went in to the shop to ask the guy for a copy of the lease, which of course he didn't wanted to give me. He said he didn't even have a copy of it in the shop but the original was right in the counter so I took it and after he beg me for a copy I let him make a copy of it and he promised me to fix the car for 2,100.00 for good. We picked up the car two days ago, I didn't used it yesterday and today I took my daughter to the local library and we couldn't make it back home the car start shaking and making an amazing bad noise, then smell like burned and end of story we had to walk home. Now we owe the lease money the 900.00 my husband borrowed from his boss and I don't have a car. By the way the two prior reviews must to been written by friends of this thieves because when I picked up the car there was another guy very angry because they did the same to him. read more
