Lino's Automatic Transmission was recommended to me by my "primary auto healthcare provider"…read more(mechanic) -- someone I trust implicitly. Because of the confidence I have in my "PAHCP," I felt comfortable taking my SUV to Lino's. My vehicle had been experiencing a shudder in the transmission -- a lack of smoothness when changing gears. Lino's checked it out and, rather than jumping straight to replacing the torque converter, suggested starting with a transmission fluid change and a high-quality additive. I had already done some online research and asked about a product called Shudder Fixx, but the mechanic explained that it can cause sludge buildup and recommended a better alternative. That's the route we took, and I noticed on the way home the shuddering has completely stopped. While inspecting the vehicle, the mechanic also noticed (and showed me a photo of) a damaged CV joint boot -- it had a hole that would soon cause the joint to lose lubricant and fail. I saw it for myself and agreed it needed replacement, so they handled that repair as well. Lino's is located on 29th Street in McAllen, just north of Business 83. Parking can be a little tight, as the lot is usually full of cars, but you can pull into the first gate and park where possible. After check-in, they'll move your vehicle as needed. The waiting area isn't fancy, but it's clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable, with a TV and remote available. Lino's prices are fair, and their service is honest and professional. I wanted reliable, and that's exactly what I got. I'm very happy with the service I received at Lino's Automatic Transmission and will definitely return if I need transmission work in the future.

I was sure I had ruined my transmission by letting my problems with it go unattended for so long…read more And so it should have. But apparently there was a leak and my transmission fluid was nonexistent. I filled it up halfway and showed up at Lino's the next morning. They spent a couple of hours looking for the leak but couldn't find it. I was asked to drive my car around regularly for the rest of the day, and bring it back the next day. They did find the leak, fixed it, but were unable to explain why I hadn't ruined the car. The cost to fix the leak was small compared to the alternative of having to fix or replace the transmission. They recommended I drop by any morning in the next few weeks or so so they could check my car's transmission again. I'll be there. Whew! Hopefully I can keep my 21 year old Subaru Forester running a while longer. Thanks, Lino's. I really appreciate your straightforwardness and help. - Kevin Shropshire

As a female customer, I've unfortunately had less-than-great experiences elsewhere, so this felt almost surreal in the best way.

Pricing was fair, turnaround was quick, and the whole process felt smooth and honest. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel both heard and taken care of. Highly recommend.

Dear Mr. Gámez I am writing to formally address several…read moresignificant concerns regarding a recent service appointment for my vehicle at your dealership on March 19, 2026. The services performed included a wheel realignment and various filter changes. During this visit, I was informed that it was my responsibility to directly contact the tire manufacturer to arrange for warranty replacement tires. This directive was quite unexpected, as my prior experiences with automotive service providers have consistently involved the dealership managing such warranty claims on the customer's behalf. This departure from conventional practice created an unforeseen inconvenience and an additional administrative burden that I did not anticipate from a full-service dealership. Compounding this initial concern, shortly after departing your facility and while en route home, the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated on my dashboard. Given that my vehicle had just undergone professional service, including a realignment, this sudden warning caused considerable distress and immediately raised questions regarding the thoroughness of the post-service inspection. I was compelled to pull over midway through my journey and seek immediate assistance from a nearby Discount Tires establishment to ensure my safety and address the issue. It is profoundly unsettling for a critical safety alert to activate so soon after a vehicle has been serviced. My decision to purchase a Volvo, and specifically to return to your dealership for a second vehicle, was largely predicated on the brand's distinguished reputation for safety and reliability, as well as the high standards I associate with your establishment. The recent events, particularly the immediate post-service tire issue and the unconventional handling of a warranty claim, regrettably fall short of the quality and customer care I have come to expect. I would appreciate a comprehensive investigation into these matters. Specifically, I seek clarification on your dealership's standard operating procedures for handling tire warranty claims and reassurance regarding the robustness of your post-service vehicle inspections, particularly concerning tire integrity, to prevent similar occurrences in the future. I trust that you will address these concerns with the seriousness they warrant and provide a satisfactory explanation and resolution. Sincerely, This were my concerns and email was sent to management and yet to receive a response.
