When our Honda Odyssey's transmission went out - I gave my husband the job of finding a reputable…read moretransmission place to replace it. He found FNA. One of the reasons he chose them is that they offer a 3 year/36k mile warranty on their rebuilt transmissions. Wow, right? They fixed it almost 3 years ago ( our anniversary is 9/27) and on the way back from New Jersey - our transmission gave way again - and let me tell you, we were concerned about how to handle this. Mike was amazing - he didn't balk at all (at least to us) when he had to find a place that was as close as he could get to where we were brokedn down - Cherry Hill NJ - and that would take us in and handle diagnosing and fixing whatever transmission problem it happened to be. (I will yelp about Mike's Transmission in Collingdale PA too). Mike's Transmission in PA worked well with us and with FNA and although we had to stay in NJ for a few days, we were happy to get our van back. The one thing that I have to say about Mike at FNA - he is very kind on the phone with people like me who haven't got a clue. He is willing to work with us in ways that go above and beyond what the world has come to expect from a mechanic. Thanks Mike and Mary (the office manager) for being there for us!

I had a terrible encounter with the business owner Jim. He was extremely rude, curt and not customer friendly at all. After an unpleasant dialog over the phone , he told me that if I didn't get my car off his lot immediately that he would charge me storage fees. I walked to the business and waited around for him to return and collected my keys. He didn't even have the courtesy to apologize nor care. If I could rate my encounter a zero I would have. I would strongly encourage others to think twice before considering using this business purely from the customer service aspect alone.

I've had to CLEAN OILY GRIM AND DIRTY FINGER PRINTS out and off my car after spending OVER a THOUSAND dollars here on TWO different occasions. Also I was lied to over the phone about the car having an alignment done to it when come to find out it wasn't even performed. Went to pick up my car and it was literally driving the exact same way it was when I dropped it off and they said it was fixed... did they even test drive it? I don't believe it one bit. They completely over filled my power steering fluid to the point that fluid was leaking out past the cap/top of reservoir and I had to clean it / take some out . Tell me why it has a min / max fill line on side if it ? Just completely ignore that ok got it . Also it's not ok to park it like shit close as hell to another car in the lot so I can barely open the door / have to squeeze into it when picking it up after spending almost $ 2,000. Don't park it like a half ass dick. Yeah you have a small lot but try harder for your customers!! Never going back here and you shouldn't either !! It's no wonder this place is buried behind 3 other businesses all the way up a hill way out back .... So they can get away with doing shady shit.

Horrible experience. They said the transmission was no good and had to be replaced. When the job…read morewas done I drove 1/4 mile down rode when car started shaking and front end sounded like metal on metal. Went back to shop. A couple of days later was told the hub was bad. Hours later was told the axle was also bad. This should have been seen when the transmission was dropped. Now they want more $ and can't guarantee that there is nothing else wrong. I would not have replaced the transmission if they had given a complete evaluation. Car is now on its way to the scrap yard.

As a woman with limited knowledge, I wanted to be sure not to overpay, so I called a few places and East Coast Auto Repair offered to check my car out the next morning, which worked great for me. (I was right about the high quote from the dealership by almost $400.) I asked the person who greeted me at the shop if they had time to complete a thorough check of the car while they had it for my brakes and they did. When completed, their review included the work on the brakes and only the usual maintenance type things with no pressure for any additional, or possible unnecessary work. In fact, they appreciated my need to control my expenses and made suggestions on how I could get the most out of my car. The people working there were polite, knowledgeable and honest. They deserve their high ratings and I am happy to be able to have found this exceptional auto repair shop close to my new home. I highly recommend them.

I took my car to my usual mechanic and they repaired what they thought was the problem, however, it did not repair the problem. I brought it back and they tried something else, but the warning lights persisted. I then thought a fresh set of eyes might solve the problem, so I brought my car to a garage near my office and they tried their fix, but it did not work. I was told that if their first fix did not work, the problem may need a costly repair. I was talking to a neighbor and relay my concerns about whether anyone could fix the problem and he suggested Ted's Tranmissions and General Repair I dropped my car off and within an hour they diagnosised the problem. They recommended I bring it to Sullivan Tire for an alignment. None of the other shops had suggested an alignment, so I figured at this point what did I have to lose. I got the alignment and I am now light free! I would recommend Ted's to anyone who is having getting answers for a problem with their car. They are wonder diagnosticians and I am sure they would be great at repairs, it they could have repaired my car.
