Let me start by stating that I cannot recommend Pacific Transmission, and the owner Junior, highly enough. I needed to have my transmission, radiator and radiator support replaced so I called around 10 transmission shops in my area to get estimates for labor only and Junior gave the lowest. When it came time to move forward with the repairs about a month later Junior honored that estimate. Communication with the shop was great with Junior in easy contact via text. All of the work was done within a week and they ended up also replacing the battery, an ac hose and trunk button at no extra labor charge. It's been a month now and the car continues to run great. Thank you, Junior! read more

I've known of this place for many years, but never had I ever had to take my vehicle there. Stuff happens and I had to do so. I spoke with a gentleman by the name of Victor( Jr.) about the issues with my truck and he said that they normally do not work on diesels but proceeded to ask what the nature of the problem was. I explained to him that my power steering pump and my power steering gearbox needed replacing, and that I had both parts already. He told me to bring it in, which I did by tow truck on a Friday evening. By Saturday morning before 12pm, he called and said that my truck was ready to go. Hats off to Victor and the staff there at Pacific Transmission. Thank you! read more

Victor and his son Jr are the best !!Honest and up front!Highly Recommend !!Did my Cadillac transmission there and some work on my old cars always so helpful read more

I've gone 2 times with this shop in a matter of 4 years and guess what? Transmission just went out again. Mind you this is not even a daily car. I truly don't know what they are doing there. 2 times in 4 years with brand new parts. Shady work going on here. Do Not come here. I've spent thousands on their "labor" very disappointing. No agan mal jale raza! read more

I'm not very knowledgeable about cars, so if a mechanic tells me something is fine, I believe them. As a student working part-time and sharing a car with my girlfriend, saving money for it was challenging. I wasn't picky about the vehicle, just looking for something affordable and fuel-efficient. Unfortunately, my past experiences with cars have been bad, and this one was no exception. I found a listing for a 2004 Honda Accord on Facebook and decided to check it out. The seller, Adrian Garcia, a mechanic at Pacific Transmission, gave me the keys while he was working on another vehicle. Not knowing much about cars, I tried my best to identify any issues. The car had a hard time starting, which I attributed to a key transmitter or battery problem. The remote wouldn't lock the doors, reinforcing this belief. Despite the starting issue, I was ready to test drive it. During the test drive, I noticed several problems: the steering wheel was shaky on the freeway, the car drifted to the right, the check engine light came on, the RPM shot up without the car moving, and it shook when shifting between drive and reverse. Adrian reassured me these were easy fixes or normal for an old car, so I decided to proceed if it passed a smog test. He replaced the O2 sensor, the car passed the smog test after 60 miles, and I finalized the purchase. Adrian agreed to fit me into his schedule for repairs and offered discounts for labor and parts. A few days later, I returned the car for maintenance. Adrian discovered an oil leak and a faulty intake hose, which he hadn't mentioned before. Despite this, I got the repairs done, including replacing the transmission mounts and fixing the AC. I spent more than expected, but hoped for peace of mind. I paid for the repairs in cash before checking out the car and finalized the invoice with Pacific Transmission. Adrian brought the car out and I was about to go back home with it. In the short test drive I took it on, the ongoing RPM and transmission issues were prevalent as well as new warning lights. The vehicle jolted forward at a stop sign and stalled while accelerating. Feeling scammed, I tried to address these problems, but Adrian and his brother insisted they were normal for an old car and safe to drive. I was unsure whether to trust them or not so I suggested for them to take a second look which they did. I returned it to the shop, where they promised to replace the throttle body free of charge if it was faulty. This reassured me, so I left the car there for a few more days. However, Adrian became very unresponsive (which started after I had already gave him money for the repairs), and I didn't get a real response until three days later. When Adrian finally contacted me, he said the car was ready but needed to explain something in person. He told me they couldn't fix the issue and suggested additives for the transmission, which I couldn't afford. With no other option, I accepted their assurance and drove the car home. Since then, I've only driven it twice. On the second drive, it stalled in the middle of the street and jolted forward, almost hitting the car in front of me. Since then, it has been parked in front of my apartment. Today, July 25, 2024, the car wouldn't start, and I'm unsure if it's the battery or something more serious. This experience has been a nightmare, I am still without a working car, and I will never trust a mechanic selling a car again. read more

Pacific Transmissions is awesome. My 2003 Mazda Tribute, going on 200,000 miles, finally had the transmission go out due to a bad oil pump. On my mechanic's recommendation, I contacted Vic the owner, and had my vehicle taken to Pacific Transmissions. Vic couldn't of been nicer. I left my vehicle to get diagnosed, and the estimate they provided for rebuilding my transmission was about $1000 or more less than several other quotes I had been given. Vic Jr, his son, also was great and kept me up to date on the diagnosis and progress of the work. When the work was completed, I got my vehicle back and it runs great! The cost was exactly what they quoted. I highly recommend these gentlemen and their shop. You've earn this guys business for sure! Thanks, Vic and Jr! read more
