    There are no great deals anymore. You either get a good price or great service. Sometimes,…read moreneither. At Rob's you get top notch work and service, but it's not going to be cheap. He's a long standing pro who knows what he is doing. There aren't any shortcuts either. If you gamble on a used transmission or a rebuilt one from an online high volume rebuilder, you will get what you pay for, or worse. If you love your vehicle, or just want it to be reliable again, take your problem transmission to Rob. He charges fair, industry standard fees, but you get the reliability that goes with it. Best part is his complete honesty that seems to be very rare in these parts anymore. Rob is the transmission guy. Go no further or anywhere else.

He came back another week later stating it definitely was my transmission and it would be 5500$! If I didn't want to go forward it would be 1100$ to put it back together and for their time when I asked to get another opinion. I felt trapped and scammed. They charged me for other items like sensors for outside temperature that never worked properly. I was extremely disappointed and feel scammed.

    Recently my Toyota Sienna minivan started acting up. Everything I googled about the symptoms told…read moreme that it was a transmission going bad and that at best I could hope for a rebuild that might only cost around $2,000. We had a trip across Snoqualmie Pass coming up in a week to visit family for Thanksgiving, and google assured me that a transmission in that condition, hauling 5 adults plus luggage up the Cascades, would surely break and leave us stranded. And with an expensive towing bill. I wondered if it was worth repairing it. It's a 2004 Sienna AWD XLE Limited with 205K miles. A quick check on Autotrader showed only one similar model in my area, with 274K miles, for $5,995. Expanding the search to 500 miles revealed one other, with similar miles as mine, for $5,495. At that point, a ~$2,000 transmission rebuild sounded much better than selling a project car for pocket change and buying one of those other Siennas. I looked for a nearby transmission shop with good reviews and landed on Renton Transmission. After a few hours they called and said my transmission was fine; the problem was a speed sensor telling it to shift at the wrong time. Replacement cost for that sensor, $338 part + labor. After picking it up, I drove around for a long test on the highway onramps and offramps, and sharp inclines, where I had most seen the symptoms. This time there were no symptoms. They also alerted me to the fact that a less common symptom I had described to them was a misfiring cylinder, and that this appeared to be just a wiring problem. He said that cylinder's misfires were recorded in the codes. l had just days prior had an oil change done at a highly regarded shop and they had not mentioned anything about that, which suggests that they did not bother to check codes. I'm very glad to know about the misfiring cylinder; I'll have it looked at soon. I'm so glad this turned out to be so much less expensive than I had feared. Thanks, Renton Transmission! Highly recommended!

He put a rebuilt Jasper differential in and each one lasted less than 1000 miles. Had all future work done at a different highly regarded transmission shop. Our family nearly got stranded several times because of Jasper failures but were able to limp back home! Unfortunately, the other transmission shop owner and I had to both fight with Jasper to get refunded after the 3rd Jasper replacement also failed. Had a new one built and installed correctly by the new transmission shop for a small fraction of the cost Renton Transmission charged me. This was after several months off and on without a vehicle and getting screwed in the first place!!!

Thanks to Ryan for sure too, for being the glue that holds this place together. Very much credit to this shop for helping me keep my Acura on the road. Thank you.

    Don't make the mistake I did. Go to Kings Auto instead…read more I spent $910 to not have the problem fixed. They put in faulty spark plugs in my engine which happens. It's not always possible to guarantee quality of parts. The unfortunate part is that error led them to believe the old coils then needed to be replaced, so I paid for that (+$293) and when that didn't fix the error they suggested the new coils might be bad. Rather than bring it in a 3rd time, decided to take my car to Kings auto. Alan found the problem within a day and gave me new spark plugs (+394). I went back to Ryan the owner of NB auto and asked him if he'd be willing to make things right. Not only did they install faulty parts, but that also led to additional work that was unnecessary. He refused to refund me for anything beyond the spark plug parts and oil change -$160. If I never went to Kings auto for a second opinion I'd still have a check engine light and be paying more have the coils checked etc. Kings auto costs more, but nothing compared to paying for work you don't need. The owner Ryan prioritizes his bottom line over customers, which is his choice. As is mine not to go back.

Not being familiar with Purdy, I stopped at the first gas station I saw to see if anyone could help me put on my spare. Long story short, I got directed to another gas station, then to an auto parts shop, and then to here. With it pouring down rain and me running very late to my appointment by now, I was discouraged when I arrived, to say the least. I asked (who I later found out was) the owner, Jeremy, if he "knew of anybody that could help me put on my spare." He asked if I had the tire, I replied yes, and he said, with the biggest smile, "Just pull your car up and we'll get it put on there in no time!" I was so relieved that I just immediately started crying and did as he said. He then told me that he didn't see a flat tire, so I told him which one it was and that I had aired it up at the previous gas station. He then told me that they would check to see if it was fixable (without me even asking!) and put the spare on if not. Five minutes later, the mechanic comes in saying that my tire was fixed, no spare needed. Jeremy then told me that it was only going to be $5. When I told him that I want him to charge me more than that (I was verrrry thankful), he and the woman behind the counter both politely laughed and politely ask their head, saying that it was called, "Paying It Forward." I reluctantly handed him my card, but he laughed and said just to bring him $5 the next time I was in the area. He then proceeded to tell me that if this ever happens again, to just come straight to them and they will put air in my tires for free or do anything else needed. I know this is really long, but I can't reiterate enough how much of a savior he was that day. I ended up still making some of our bridal dress appointment in Seattle, and I'm not even driving on a donut. He didn't have to be so kind, but he was, and for that I'm very, very thankful. I will no doubt be back to them for all of my similar needs. Go see them, you will not be disappointed with their service!!!
