I'm writing this review as the wife of a customer who brought his beautiful 2500 GMC truck in to…read moreget his transmission repaired in the fall of 2022. I know that's some time back, but I'm tired of listening to my husband beat himself up about having taken his truck into Placerville Transmission and within just weeks, realizing the problem was not repaired. He took it in again, only to have Adolf pour some "shutter fluid" in, which did nothing to fix the problem. Now my husband doesn't like confrontation, so he drove the truck with a sickly transmission. I believe these people took us for a ride! First of all, it took 7 weeks for Placerville Transmission to get to the point of doing the work. This necessitated my husband paying almost $1,100 in rental car fees and then when the transmission still wasn't corrected, realized the warranty was only good for one-year! Fast forward to today, July 2025 and my husband has lived with the transmissions this way now for the past almost 3 years. The truck definitely needs to go back into the shop. We spent over $6,660 for the work which didn't even last a few months, never mind past the one-year warranty. We paid good money for a worthy rebuilt transmission, but my husband believes (and he's a gear head so knows cars) the shop put in a faulty rebuilt tranny obtained online. Shame on my husband for not demanding Placerville Transmission perform a proper repair, but mostly shame on them for allowing such sloppy, unprofessional and un-American work. They've lost a customer, but hopefully someone else won't be so easily taken.

After going over everything that was going on, Mike told me to not waste my money getting it looked and gave me knowledgeable advice about my truck and the transmission issues it has but that my transmison was going out but to drive it until it goes. one week later it went. I took it to the dealership I bought the truck from because they told me they could work with, After going through a huge hassle and a lot of stress I was able to get a new transmission. Less than a month later after being replaced I started filling weird things in the transmission, scared to deal with the dealership again, I called Mike as I had appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness. He told me to bring it over and he would test drive it. After reassuring me of how new transmissions work and what I was feeling I left filling a lot better and less stressed. I appreciate the honesty and not trying to haggle me. It's been a very stressful situation, but he gave me a piece of mind. I will be bringing my truck here in the future. Thank you!

The owner (I'm assuming) came out of the garage and asked how my day was, told him it couldn't be worse. After explaining the problem to him he immediately said pull it in and I'll have a look. Mind you, he already had multiple vehicles in there he was working on. After a quick look he said "it looks like you're just low on fluid." He grabbed his pump, topped it off and I was back on the road within 10 minutes. Service like that just doesn't seem to exist anymore. It makes me wonder how many other shops would have told me to park it and they'd get back to me in a week with a price tag for a new transmission..

He charged me less for an oil change than Jiffy Lube, took care of my axle, and told me that my concern about my belts was unfounded and the belts were totally fine (again, something he could have easily just done and charged me for).
