The transmission in my 2015…read moreBuick LaCrosse has been running rough for a couple years now, been able to limp along but got to the point where it had to be replaced. At 150K I got my money's worth, but I was faced with the choice of getting a new transmission (which costs more the the vehicle is currently worth) or junking the car and buying a new vehicle. Unfortunately, can't afford a new car payment right now, and I know my engine is still in great shape as I maintain all my vehicles carefully and on schedule and I can probably (hopefully) get another 100K out of it. Discussed options with Don, and we both felt a used transmission would be the most cost effective option given the vehicle age and history. He found a low mileage used transmission that was in good shape and installed it for me in a matter of a couple days. But what he did on top of that is why I will be a customer for life. I mentioned in passing that I've been having emissions codes pop up, and given that I was still running the original O2 sensors, I'd bought new ones that I was going to install on my own. I asked if he'd be willing to put them in for me when the transmission was out, simply because access would be so much easier at that time, rather than me at home laying on the garage floor with the car on jack stands, trying to wrap my arms around the tranny to get to the top of the unit where the spots on the manifold are. He was willing to do that for me, and in so doing, he actually noticed that my manifold had some cracks where the ports connect to the engine. Don, on his own, took my manifold off, brought it to his house after work, and fixed the cracks with his welder. All on his own time and dime. He reinstalled it for me, along with the O2 sensors, before reinstalling the transmission. Who the heck does things like this anymore, if ever? This is like the kind of care and service people got decades ago. And why this is exceptionally meaningful to me is, I'm soon to be laid off from work in October, and my wife is fighting through a recurrence of thyroid cancer. We've been struggling emotionally. I was so moved by this I literally teared up when I picked it up. It was such a damn sweet gesture. Getting wet eyed just typing this. Just a wonderful man running a great crew who does awesome work.

They insisted the issue wasn't the transmission but the battery. I paid to replace it, only for the check engine light to come back on. I scanned the code myself--it was the transmission. I brought the car back the next day. The staff were all smiles and careful with their wording, making it seem like they'd recheck it for free since they missed the issue the first time. They never mentioned a charge. I should've confirmed, but instead of charging upfront like before, they hit me after the fact. This place relies on vague communication and slippery language to squeeze out extra fees. Be cautious.

I've been meaning to write a review for John as he did such a stellar job for us many years ago but I wasn't sure what his business name was at the time. The owner, John, is a REALLY cool dude. My girlfriend's mom's '03 TL had the typical 5 speed auto failure at around 186k despite being bought new and babied. While we're in San Jose and John is in Sacramento, we felt his extremely fair price and Honda expertise warranted the trip, so I pulled the transmission myself and we dropped it off to John. It was done quickly and came back looking and functioning flawless. In fact, I had broken one of the sensor's plugs when I dropped the tranny and was already planning to have to go to the junkyard for another or something but I was very surprised to see a brand new one on there when we received the transmission back. As I recall as well, he dropped it off to us in SJ so we didnt have to make two round trips to Sac! Super cool of him to do. He rebuilt it for us 2016 or 2017, and the car now has about 50k more miles on it since then and the transmission has still been flawless. John knows the ins and outs of Honda transmissions and is absolutely the guy you need to use for a rebuild!

Transmission work is never cheap, but I feel this shop provides great value, in return for less money than one might expect.
