Absolute worst automotive experience in my like....2 months to rebuild a transmission being told every week....." it will be ready mid week" and that was after giving them $2,000 up front...never called, I would have to go there every week to get lied to....they replaced a sway bar that dint need replacing and wanted $570 for that..left the windows down on the car overnight in the parking lot durring a rainstorm...and when I got it back after a month, the transmission was slipping..I brought it back and they said it was an engine problem....the car had just passed emissions and had zero engine problems....they said it was throwing some codes but refused to say what codes or provide a print out of any sort...they replaced a MAP and MAF sensor ( they actually farmed that out to another shop without telling me ) cost about another $700.....so $4700 to put in a shotty transmission and screw up my engine after 2 months with no car.....DO NOT TRUST A WORD THEY SAY....I have filed a complaint with the Attorney Generals office and will take the car to a real auto shop to be fixed and sue them for the proper repairs....STAY AWAY read more

The Customer service was awesome. The person running the front was chill and attentive and was understanding. The price was understandable and affordable, they do really good work and I'll be letting my friends and co workers know that if they have any transmission issues this place is it for real. Very happy overall. Good business read more

Great customer service And EXCEPTIONAL service! If you need transmission work done this shop will not let you down! I cannot believe they were able to rebuild my transmission back to running like new again as my transmission was in really bad shape. So bad that my van had to be towed to the shop because it would not go into any gear. I am so thankful my friend recommended this shop to me. read more

I live in Chicago and prefer to take my car to Karry Brothers in Waukegan. My old 1995 Pontiac was on it's last legs and Don at Karry Brothers was able to keep it running for more years than I though it would last. He was reasonably priced, warranties he work and will talk with you about what is the best solution for you car. I am very grateful to have been able to keep my car as long as I did, thanks to Karry Brothers. Don is very friendly and helps you understand what needs to be done. He will also tell you when it is not worth repairing. I highly recommend Karry Brothers for all your car replairs. read more

Brought my car in for what I thought was a knocking from my torque converter. They took the time to diagnose and fix the problem. It turned out to be something completely different and far less costly. Appreciated their work and honesty in fixing my car. read more

In June, 2016, I noticed that the transmission overheat light was lit on my 2004 Toyota Highlander while I was stopped for gas. (I later realized that this can happen occasionally in hot weather and is not necessarily a sign of trans. trouble.) I made an appointment to take it to Karry Bros. Transmission to have it checked out. I chose Karry Bros. because I like to patronize local businesses whenever possible and they had been in business for 65 years. I dropped the car off and waited for the results of the inspection. A few hours later, they called and gave me the bad news. "There's metal in the pan," the mechanic said in a grave tone. That's usually a sign that something in the trans. is grinding to pieces and the trans. is about to fail. When I asked for more information, he paused and said I should speak to the owner. The older gentleman who identified himself as the owner told me a complete transmission re-build was needed, which would cost about $2000. I asked him if there were some way to just replace the defective/worn part but he replied, "That's not how it's done! The parts come in a kit and we replace everything." At the same time, he also strongly suggested I have the torque converter rebuilt at additional cost, adding, "With the mileage on your car, it's about due to fail and it's cheaper if we do it at the same time." I decided not to have the costly repair done, and would trade it in or sell it. He said they would replace the pan, which encloses the bottom of the trans., and I picked it up later. The following afternoon about 430 pm, I noticed a large pool of transmission fluid about a foot across, beneath my car in the driveway. I called back and spoke to the owner again. He apologized and said the mechanic must not have replaced the pan properly. I told him I was on the way, and to please make sure someone was there to do it as it was leaking all over my driveway. He said they close at 5 pm but he would have someone available. Driving as fast as I could through Lake County traffic, I arrived about 510 pm. The owner said everyone had gone for the day and I'd have to bring it back tomorrow. When I reminded him he was going to keep someone there to fix the problem, he snarled at me, "You talk more than you listen! I told you everyone is gone for the day! Bring it back tomorrow!" I told him since I had already made the trip and it was their mistake, they could pick it up at my home, repair it and bring it back. He told me that "No one is available" but reluctantly agreed when I insisted. The following day, they picked up my vehicle, repaired it and returned it, as I had requested, leaving me to deal with the oily mess in my driveway. That would be the end of the long story except that, the transmission that Karry Bros. owner insisted "needed repair immediately" and the torque converter that was "about to fail" are still going strong, 21 months and over 21,000 miles later. Draw your own conclusions. read more

I'm recommending KB highly because a really busy guy, Don Smith at Karry's, took time three times to help me out - and didn't get a cent out of it. I have an Infiniti and when it comes to transmissions, there is a lot of misleading information out there - costly transmission "flushes" - and different outfits looking for this lucrative work. Don spoke to me on the phone the other day - he's just been too busy to get me in - and when I stopped by the shop in person earlier today, still knowing he couldn't get me in, he stopped what he was doing and went over the alternatives on what was best for the car and in this case, is sending me out to Infiniti. Now that's a professional, doing what's best for the consumer. Karry Bros was established in 1961. read more

They did a great job on my 2005 Xterra, i had to have a valve body replaced that took a real expert to complete. They kept me informed at all stages of my repair and the price they quoted my was the price i paid. Great staff! read more

I had a wonderful repair experience. I needed my Ford E250 van repaired quickly. They repaired it quickly and got me up and running faster than I hoped for. I don't normally leave reviews, but I know when I was looking, I had a hard time deciding who to go to and wished I could find a way to tell who was really good. Well Karry Brothers Transmissions gets my vote. Thank you so much! read more

I was very pleased with the transmission repair on my son's Scion. They were more reasonably priced than other shops and provided excellent customer service. read more
