It should be covered under warranty, but the Hyundai dealership couldn't get me in for almost two months. They put my car on the lift, took a look, and were able to secure the loose panel in just a few minutes. To my surprise, they didn't even charge me. It wasn't about the amount of work. It was the fact that they took the time to help someone who wasn't even an existing customer and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. That kind of honesty and customer service is hard to find these days. I'll definitely be bringing my car back the next time I need an oil change or any other service. Highly recommend!

And when I handed over my debit card, Billy Jr told me to look on the bright side - my car would be warm and toasty when I got in it. In other words, they had just taken her for a ride.... notice the incoming mileage of zero on my receipt? These mechanics are shifty-eyed, low-level, america-made only. Billy laughed when I thanked him before getting in my "warm toasty car. " As an intuitive woman, it felt very violating. But nothing bad can happen in Salem ya know? So if you are a man or woman, buyer beware. Needy boys needed at SPG!!

I do not recommend Ideal Transmission whatsoever. I've had 2 lengthy experiences with them. The…read morefirst time they rebuilt my transmission, they neglected to put the bolts back on my tire rods and I was put in a lot of danger. My steering went out on the highway, my car shook violently, but luckily I was able to pull off the highway and wait for a tow after which the tow truck driver asked me if I had any enemies who were trying to hurt me. A year later, I went back to Ideal because I had what appeared to be another transmission problem and it was under warranty. Long story short, it took them 2 weeks to even determine that it wasn't the transmission but a dead computer, and they had my car for an entire month. The worst part is that every time I called, Rob would tell me he'd give me a call back with an update. I never once received a phone call from him. Terrible communication and service. I know it was a rough winter but don't string your customers along that way, especially one whose life you previously put at risk. Definitely take your car to a more professional, reliable shop for transmission problems.

After having some transmission issues with my 2004 Honda I brought it to J&G transmission and they…read moresaid the whole transmission would need to be replaced and gave an estimate that seemed way too high. When I went to pick it up, he charged a $150 diagnostic test fee that we had not been told about and was very rude. The car is too old to replace the transmission so we brought it to Creedons for a second opinion. Within an hour they said they had cleared some codes and it was good to go. The transmission was fine and did not need to be replaced. Definitely recommend Creedons. Do not go to J&G!!

I have recommended Mully's to many people and have never received anything but "thank yous" and excellent comments. I have read many reviews of Mully's on several sites. Nearly all his reviews are excellent and the comments usually include superlatives like; great, honest,"knows everything about cars, and similar praise. I did find one person who gave a "one-star rating" and did not recommend Mully's. Her complaint was that he was too expensive --the opposite of nearly every comment I read. Don't take just my opinion; search him out on any of the auto mechanic review sites --you will be impressed.
