I listened. (Thank you for that, sir) Bittersweet now that I have a new car/new warranty, but the second it expires, I'll be right back at C's! They are truly an exceptional family.

So far so good and my car is running smoothly!

I just want to say that Atlas Transmission saved the life of my car. Jimmy was so honest and…read moretransparent about the cost of everything and he seemed like a really nice standup guy. My transmission drives better now than when I first got my car. No joke, it shifts so smooth now. He said it was probably because of the seal. When they get hold they harden and it messes with the pressure. Jimmy is a small business and he strictly does transmissions. I had just come off of a really bad experience shopping around. Range Rovers Transmissions are expensive and most places quote around $6000 and do not do used transmissions. Jimmy is one of the few places that will do it. And he only charged me $1000 for the labor. That's it. After getting such high quotes from all over LA I couldn't believe it. And was worried something was wrong. But I assure you it wasn't. The price comes out to similar used places, but rather than finding the part and marking up the price and the labor. He just charges you for the labor itself. And he does the labor himself. So that's why it was cheaper. He's doing it at cost. He prefers you source the transmission yourself. If it's used, you're taking a risk, because nobody knows if a used transmission is going to work, and you being the one to source it sort of frees him of the liability. I Can't rally say, but that makes sense to me. All he said was that, he is really busy and doesn't have time to research and find it for you. He Couldn't take my car till the weekend, so it made sense to me. I"ll tell you what, Jimmy recommended a site, but I went an https://www.car-part.com/ and found 4 transmissions from GERMAN KOREAN AND JAPANESE AUTO DISMANTLING and they were great. The Transmission is tested and verified to work with a 90 day warranty. They ship it directly to the shop. I picked one with lower mileage for a few hundred dollars more which was $1700. Plus Jimmy's labor made it $2700. Best deal in town. LIterally the best quote in LA. I had to research and order the transmission fluid myself as well. So it was also at cost and my choice which brand. It was a litte more leg work on my part, but the cost is literally the cost of it with no mark up. Other places told me a used transmission was in the range of $1700 and quoted me at $3000-$3600 similar to transmission super shop. So it checked out. The difference was, a lot of places were actually marking up the cost for profit quite a bit. Some places had given me a quote in that ballpark and then later when I called again a few months later quoted me closer to $6000. Jimmy on the other hand, the price was the price. No surprises. The Risk was just on me to source a good one. And I feel like all in all it worked out for the best. I should thank transmission super shop for telling me no. Because that helped me keep looking around and find Jimmy at Atlas Transmission. I should also thank Beach Cities for being honest about their prices and recommending Jimmy to me. That's how I found Jimmy, an honest shop that doesn't do used, recommended Jimmy as the guy they send people to. And I'm glad they did. My Car is driving great. I didn't have to sell it. And I saved a little money. So if you need a transmission and replacing it with a new one is outside of your budget, Jimmy is an option that worked for me. I can vouch for him.

He gave me a great deal on a complete rebuild of my transmission! All of the mechanics I talked to before going to Coastline wanted to put a remanufactured transmission in my Honda; Angel was the only one who accepted the challenge. This guy really knew his stuff and answered all of my questions. Just an honest guy and a hard worker. Angel completed the job in just 2.5 business days. He did a phenomenal job and I would recommend his work to anyone with transmission problems. As other reviewers noted, the shop is very small and somewhat hidden so I would call ahead and make sure that there is room.

Trying to find a qualified shop that could service a manual transmission was a bit trying. I learned that all transmission shops don't do manual transmissions. I came across Coastline and gave them a call. I spoke with Angel, the owner. This guy knew what he was talking about! He explained to me, in layman's terms mind you, some probable causes and really broke it down into details. Given the economy, and some 'encouragement' from my wife, I had to call around and get some more quotes. I was very pleased not only with Angel's help on the phone, but with his price as he came in under all the others. It wasn't by much, but every penny counts. I decided to have him just go ahead and put in a new clutch since he was already going to have the transmission out, and considering that the price was good. I decided to take my truck in to Coastline and was welcomed by Angel as if he knew me. He was very professional and I felt very confident in leaving my truck there. My confidence was bolstered the next day when Angel called me to let me know what was going on with my car. When I went to pick up my truck my car didn't have grease all over the place, as some shops leave your car. Kudos. I paid my bill, and drove away with a smooth shifting car and a smile on my face!

I hope Rick has a good attorney! We pull into the shop and…read morehe's literally working on my car and we could see him before we turned into the driveway. I truly came being open, honest, and calm...he immediately skips pleasantries and just like other reviews mention, he was so upset about my review. He takes us to the car and blames me, talks down to me, mansplains to me about the amount of oil in my car! I checked it 3 times before it went to his lil shop and so did my boyfriend and there was hardly any oil on the dipstick! He checks the oil in front of us and there's suddenly a generous amount on the dipstick and he claimed to not have touched it! We literally saw you all up under the hood Rick! Are you okay?? With your handkerchief in hand...like please...just...stop. I kept my composure still and let him make a case for me. He hauls up my Mustang and her starter was just hanging down from the car! I immediately ask what that's about and he's like "oh I wanted you to see it". It's covered in oil and looks horrible and I doubt it the brightest idea to be lifting my car up and down like his personal elevator with the starter hanging like that! Is this some secret horror reality show?? Am I being punked? Is he Ashton Kutcher in disguise? Like this is madness and it gets worse! So there's a bunch of oil all over the undercarriage dripping still! It only took 3 trips for them to finally say there's a rear main seal leak!! $1,500! I ask for an estimate on the starter and he said it's totally fine! how?? I'm literally fighting back tears and ask him why he didn't he listen to what me and my boyfriend said about this exact leak from day 1?? He then gets so defensive and condescending to me and my poor mother! He blamed my mom after I had to take a moment aside to not lose my sh**. He gets on my mom, "what did you say to her??" All aggressive. He literally watched me walk away from where the three of us were standing! Why would he ask her that when he was standing right there and I walked away? When did she have a chance to "say something" to me? At this point we both are feeling uncomfortable and honestly unsafe with how he was acting. Car had issues on my way home. Mind you Rick said my car is safe to drive! He also told my mom that he has lots of other customers who are driving around all the time with oil leaks! But are they asthmatics with serious health problems breathing in emissions that could cause long term damage to them, the public, and the environment? I truly hope not. That's so dangerous. Rick calls me as I'm driving home to say something about him talking to his tech about the undercarriage and I asked to clarify if it was cleaned off at all or not and he said no so I hung up on him. He kept calling me and I didn't answer, I just was so disturbed by all this. He then sends 2 texts that contradict each other and don't even make sense! He also says he doesn't know 100% if there a rear seal oil leak!!! The next morning then claims there is a leak! I'll attach these texts. He also called my boyfriend who has no ownership over my car that I own the title to! What do they call men who disrespect women and force their will on them by not respecting clear boundaries of not wanting to communicate when I hung up on him?? Rick will do anything to avoid taking accountability for ANYTHING, he shifts blame on to customers, is defensive, aggressive, dishonest, gaslights, and as you see in the texts plays the victim. Classic traits of a narcissist so he definitely will not be able to prioritize the well being of his own business by taking care of his customers. I wish I had read these reviews before taking my car here. I will be making more reviews anywhere I can to warn people and I will update this again after my car is thoroughly inspected by an actual expert this week and further action started being taken before my car even left Rick's shop. My bf and inspected the car after all that and he went and cleaned the fresh pools of oils all over the transmission and above the starter. For my specific vehicle, a brake vacuum pump is the number one cause for oil in the starter and rear main seal leak is the last our 4 main causes for that happening. He only cleaned where the oil STILL leaking would be their fault from a poor repair and the timeline of new symptoms match that as well. He lied repeatedly and so defensively about not seeing the oil in those areas I mentioned and he even cleaned that all up! Then lied about cleaning it up! My bf and I found a chunk of wood lodged in to the exact part he wanted to over charge me on! I sent him a picture of it too and he conveniently didn't acknowledge it. Was that because you get so bitter about reviews Rick? Did you want to cause my car to have problems and put my safety in danger? It's so apparent in your loooong review responses to any bit of criticism or dissatisfied customers, hearing the uncomfortable truths bothers you. Just not enough to actually change sadly.

My only complaint was the exspensive cost I had to pay because I used a card for my method of payment. I was qouted $899 however because I didnt have cash I had to pay a processing fee which was a ridiculous amount bringing my total to $932. A person not being told that prior to service is very upsetting to shell out extra money because I didnt pay in cash seems unfair. Please explain to your patrons the difference or give the rates for cash vs card up front as this would help people decide if it is financially doable.
