I just want to say that Atlas Transmission saved the life of my car. Jimmy was so honest and…read moretransparent about the cost of everything and he seemed like a really nice standup guy. My transmission drives better now than when I first got my car. No joke, it shifts so smooth now. He said it was probably because of the seal. When they get hold they harden and it messes with the pressure. Jimmy is a small business and he strictly does transmissions. I had just come off of a really bad experience shopping around. Range Rovers Transmissions are expensive and most places quote around $6000 and do not do used transmissions. Jimmy is one of the few places that will do it. And he only charged me $1000 for the labor. That's it. After getting such high quotes from all over LA I couldn't believe it. And was worried something was wrong. But I assure you it wasn't. The price comes out to similar used places, but rather than finding the part and marking up the price and the labor. He just charges you for the labor itself. And he does the labor himself. So that's why it was cheaper. He's doing it at cost. He prefers you source the transmission yourself. If it's used, you're taking a risk, because nobody knows if a used transmission is going to work, and you being the one to source it sort of frees him of the liability. I Can't rally say, but that makes sense to me. All he said was that, he is really busy and doesn't have time to research and find it for you. He Couldn't take my car till the weekend, so it made sense to me. I"ll tell you what, Jimmy recommended a site, but I went an https://www.car-part.com/ and found 4 transmissions from GERMAN KOREAN AND JAPANESE AUTO DISMANTLING and they were great. The Transmission is tested and verified to work with a 90 day warranty. They ship it directly to the shop. I picked one with lower mileage for a few hundred dollars more which was $1700. Plus Jimmy's labor made it $2700. Best deal in town. LIterally the best quote in LA. I had to research and order the transmission fluid myself as well. So it was also at cost and my choice which brand. It was a litte more leg work on my part, but the cost is literally the cost of it with no mark up. Other places told me a used transmission was in the range of $1700 and quoted me at $3000-$3600 similar to transmission super shop. So it checked out. The difference was, a lot of places were actually marking up the cost for profit quite a bit. Some places had given me a quote in that ballpark and then later when I called again a few months later quoted me closer to $6000. Jimmy on the other hand, the price was the price. No surprises. The Risk was just on me to source a good one. And I feel like all in all it worked out for the best. I should thank transmission super shop for telling me no. Because that helped me keep looking around and find Jimmy at Atlas Transmission. I should also thank Beach Cities for being honest about their prices and recommending Jimmy to me. That's how I found Jimmy, an honest shop that doesn't do used, recommended Jimmy as the guy they send people to. And I'm glad they did. My Car is driving great. I didn't have to sell it. And I saved a little money. So if you need a transmission and replacing it with a new one is outside of your budget, Jimmy is an option that worked for me. I can vouch for him.

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed with my experience at this transmission shop. I came here for a simple…read morecar scan for codes to determine the issue with my car but left with a headache and $300 less in my wallet!!!!! They had my car for three full weeks, which was far longer than I was originally told. When I finally got my vehicle back, it was in the exact same condition as when I dropped it off--despite being told the spark plugs had been replaced and the issue had been fixed. Not only did I waste weeks without my car, but I now have to take it somewhere else to actually get the problem resolved. When confronted about a refund, the owner ignored our concerns and decided to keep our money even though we didn't agree to replace the spark plugs when we simply wanted a car scan. The lack of communication, the excessive delay, and the fact that the issue wasn't fixed at all made this whole process incredibly frustrating. Please AVOID this shop at all costs! _____________________________________________________________________ Estoy sumamente decepcionado con mi experiencia en este taller de transmisiones. Vine para un simple escaneo del auto para detectar códigos de error y determinar el problema, ¡pero me fui con un dolor de cabeza y $300 menos en mi bolsillo! Tuvieron mi auto durante tres semanas completas, mucho más de lo que me habían dicho inicialmente. Cuando finalmente lo recuperé, estaba exactamente igual que cuando lo dejé, a pesar de que me habían asegurado que habían cambiado las bujías y que el problema estaba solucionado. No solo perdí semanas sin mi auto, sino que ahora tengo que llevarlo a otro taller para que solucionen el problema. Cuando les reclamamos el reembolso, el dueño ignoró nuestras preocupaciones y decidió quedarse con nuestro dinero a pesar de que no habíamos aceptado cambiar las bujías cuando simplemente queríamos un escaneo del coche. La falta de comunicación, la demora excesiva y el hecho de que el problema no se haya solucionado en absoluto hicieron que todo este proceso fuera increíblemente frustrante. ¡Por favor, eviten este taller a toda costa!

Well shocker after a couple of hours the car is ready and the bill is $423. Not sure why it didn't end up closer to $300 as he made it seem like $400 would be on the high side. Not sure what it would have cost elsewhere but I probably should have made a couple of calls to find out. It appears the job was adequately done though so 3 stars. Would have been 4-5 if price wasn't the high end of the numbers estimated. Also a very difficult place to get in and out of.

He gave me a great deal on a complete rebuild of my transmission! All of the mechanics I talked to before going to Coastline wanted to put a remanufactured transmission in my Honda; Angel was the only one who accepted the challenge. This guy really knew his stuff and answered all of my questions. Just an honest guy and a hard worker. Angel completed the job in just 2.5 business days. He did a phenomenal job and I would recommend his work to anyone with transmission problems. As other reviewers noted, the shop is very small and somewhat hidden so I would call ahead and make sure that there is room.

Trying to find a qualified shop that could service a manual transmission was a bit trying. I learned that all transmission shops don't do manual transmissions. I came across Coastline and gave them a call. I spoke with Angel, the owner. This guy knew what he was talking about! He explained to me, in layman's terms mind you, some probable causes and really broke it down into details. Given the economy, and some 'encouragement' from my wife, I had to call around and get some more quotes. I was very pleased not only with Angel's help on the phone, but with his price as he came in under all the others. It wasn't by much, but every penny counts. I decided to have him just go ahead and put in a new clutch since he was already going to have the transmission out, and considering that the price was good. I decided to take my truck in to Coastline and was welcomed by Angel as if he knew me. He was very professional and I felt very confident in leaving my truck there. My confidence was bolstered the next day when Angel called me to let me know what was going on with my car. When I went to pick up my truck my car didn't have grease all over the place, as some shops leave your car. Kudos. I paid my bill, and drove away with a smooth shifting car and a smile on my face!

Alex told me that one would be available but when I arrived that wasn't the case. Therefore, he lied to me from the beginning. The job was completed the next day as he said it would but my car was left very dirty and greasy when I returned to retrieve it. When I asked for a rag to wipe the greasy from my shift knob, he proceed to wipe down the steering wheel and knob then used the same dirty rag on my door panel, scratching the paint. Alex informed me that my check engine light was on and tried to suggest that it may have already been that way before I brought my car to the shop. I was appalled at this suggestion for my car only needed a new clutch and nothing else. I'm sure he turned on the key and saw no such warning lights but was trying to cover up that it was damaged during their repair process. When I returned the next day to have them repair what they did, I was not greeted with respect and I will not return to this shop again, even if the check engine light returns. I was initially quoted a labor cost only to be baited and switched after he learning that I had a very nice vehicle. Albeit, the clutch works as expected but I cannot get over how smug and disrespectful Alex treated me during this entire time. One could say you get what you pay for but the disrespect is unacceptable, not to mention I had to wash my floor mat because it was so filthy. I made sure not to put them in my car when I brought it back. I had to spread paper bags all over the floor then I noticed they had their own paper shoe protection that was laying on the floor when I returned the second time. I think they do decent transmission work but if you care about how you are treated and the care of your car, I would not recommend them but if you want to go the economic route and do your own cleaning and hope to don't cause more harm to your vehicle then these are your options. The engine light wasn't on when I picked up my vehicle the second time, but they could have just erased it and may return in a few days. Alex never called me once to tell me my car was ready for pick up. I had to call him both times, and the first time I came to pick up my car, he told me he had texted about coming the next day after I already told him l'm on my way. We had never texted before and I later learned he never texted me at all, that's typical of my experience in a nutshell.
