After calling around this entire town; I came across this place on Yelp. After giving them call,…read morethey were the only shop willing to look at my issue in a new GMC terrain which has a new design transmission which most shops not only don't have the experience but probably have never encountered them as of yet. I drove the car down to the shop and later they called to let me know of the issue they found. Essentially the torque converter was locking up and instead of replacing or rebuilding it, they were able to add a kit that stopped it from locking and shaking the car. The called in the afternoon and said it was fixed for a few hundred dollars. So far have put 1500 miles on it with zero issues. Very honest shop and doesn't look to break your wallet but actually diagnose the problem and will fix it the right way without putting a dent in the wallet. Definitely will come back here if I ever have any transmission issues with any vehicle. Definitely super reliable, very quick to get you back on the road and exceptional customer service.

Check engine light came on and O/D started flashing. Of course, we got the blame for it. I understand calling before expected finish time causes a delay in the labor but if it's passed that, the customer has the right to call and check on the status. They don't like that but if Tom had done the job right the first time, my car wouldn't be back in there. Last time, they did not call me when my car was ready for pick up. He blamed Ford for pos part. Let's see what excuse he comes up with this Friday. Annoying!

Called to request an estimate/quote on a repair for a clutch. The man I spoke to was so rude and…read morebelittling, he told me there was no way he could give me an estimate without seeing the car first and he told me I had to drop it off and I tried to explain to him that it did not drive because the clutch was out and he was talking to me like I was so stupid and I didn't not know what I was talking about. I'm pretty sure they were going to try to rip me off and sell me something unnecessary so I ended up taking my car to kern transmission AFTER receiving a quote, where I got it repaired for a fair price.
