    I don't even like to think about Larry ever retiring because he's the best for vintage vw's. The best.

No BS, just good old-fashioned value and results.

I called Brown's Transmission and the owner talked me off the ledge and encouraged me to bring the car in for evaluation. Drove the car from Honda to Brown's and was immediately greeted by Ralph. I explained the issue to Ralph and he put the car in the lift. Took Ralph maybe three minutes to take off the plastic shield that covers the transmission and a portion of the engine compartment. Ralph brought the shield to me and showed me that there was not leakage under the transmission in the usual areas (front and aft seals I believe) which was absolutely clean but quite a bit of fluid on the drivers side of the shield. Ralph pointed his flashlight in the area of the leakage and with a couple minutes found that I had a loose transmission sensor that allowed fluid to leak. Ralph tightened the sensor and cleaned up the area as beautiful he could do that we could confirm no more leakage. I was only asked to pay $40 for the Honda fluid which was flushed. Wow! Additionally, Ralph left the plastic shield off and asked me to bring the car back in a week or two so that he can confirm the leak was fixed and would reinstall the shield. This shop provided incredible service and I have now sworn off Ocean Honda will now be coming to Brown's Transmission from now on. Incredible owner and Ralph went above and beyond to help me. Thank you Brown's Transmission!

    Went this morning to get my oil changed. While there, they showed me the transmission oil and it…read morealso needed to be changed. I thought this had been done when I took it last year for a Tune Up. Juan, checked Carmax for me to see if anything came up. It didn't. I learned so much in my 15-20 minutes that I was there. First, ALL of the service you have done to your car will show up in Carmax. I had no idea about this. How cool is that?!? I also learned that I need to pay attention to what services I'm getting done and paying for. I need to find my receipt from where I got my Tune Up last year as I could have sworn they were supposed to change the transmission oil (but again, I need to find my paperwork). At any rate, thank you to Juan who showed me how dirty the transmission oil was. I now know I need to change it at least every 50k miles, which begs the question why the dealership didn't do this or offer this in all of the times I took my car in for oil changes and scheduled services. ‍ I will be going back for any and all future oil changes.

I politely told the employee about the situation and how it's not cool and then I declined them cleaning it up as I didn't want them to touch my car again. THEN my girlfriend needed an oil change and they never put the skid plate screws BACK on her car which later resulted in the skid plate coming off on the freeway and bending backwards and leaving her stranded while I was at work. I've heard other bad reviews and ignored them, I regret doing so. Never going back to this place. Respectfully. Value is alright if you're willing to risk a possible half done job.
