I am very happy I found RC trans and gear. They have been really good to me. I very much trust them. Dell has been super helpful every single time. read more

After bringing my vehicle there several times, Dell told me that I needed a transmission. I wanted a second opinion, and brought it to A1 auto and transmission in Madison Heights. They did a simple diagnostic check and discovered that I needed a Transmission Solenoid Set, which saved me over $2500. I don't know how Dell gets any good reviews. Don't trust him! read more

I purchased a Ford Ranger from a private seller and before I could even refill the gas tank, it started showing signs of transmission issues (wouldn't shift from 3rd to 4th gear). I brought it to RC trans & gear, and received a call 2 days later from the manager, who explained that my transmission was fine, but the front axle for the 4wd was bad. they removed the axle and it was fine. He said they could replace it for $866, or I could just do without the 4wd. And they charged me $0!!! I am so amazed and extremely gratefu! It's very hard to find an honest mechanic, let alone one who tries to help you out when you're down on your luck! I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thank You from the bottom of my heart!! read more

I'm just going to start this with I have a European car with many issues but trans and gear got it together. From my clutch, master and slave, shift tower and the clutch pedal itself they did amazing work and the communication was fantastic. Dell is an amazing human being just like the guys in the back. Completely understanding and would never think to rip you off. This is the most trustworthy shop I have ever taken my car to and it's been to many. This was an amazing experience and now I'm actually happy to drive my car again. Thank you so much! read more

It's when a business fixes a mistake you see what they are really made of. To make a long story short, the torque converter was out of balance after they replaced it. Being a rarely driven car it took me a while to fix the rough running engine. 2 years later I called them because I had the data showing the engine was running smooth, so the vibration had to be an imbalance on something rotating. They checked it out and identified the imbalanced torque converter, honored their warranty and I had my car back in time for the weekend. No arguments or hassle. read more

Thought I had a transmission going bad. RC took car for a test drive and told me it was a wheel baring. Honest diagnosis, when I was ready for some bad news. Saved me $ and made a loyal customer out of me. read more

I hardly ever read yelp reviews--and even more rarely post them--but in the case of RC Trans and Gear, I have to make an exception. For my money, this is not only the best trans shop, but one of the most honest and respectable businesses I have ever had the pleasure of working with. To explain in more detail, it has been my practice of driving my vehicles into the ground, not because I abuse them--quite the opposite--but because I traveled on the average of 60,000 miles a year, I would lose my shirt buying a new car every two or three years. Thus, I accumulated 330,000, 436,500, and 276,000 (so far) on my last three. All were Ford Escapes; the most recent being a 2013, which has a notoriously lousy trans. At one point on each, a new trans was needed; on each occasion, I took the car to RC, and on each occasion; and on each occasion, the replacement and repairs they gave me lasted longer than the original. In fact, on the second Escape, an '05, the factory trans went out at 165,000, and the replacement/repairs RC lasted until the catalytic converters went out 271,500 miles later. All of that would be enough to warrant a 5-star review, but that's not why I'm here writing this. I'm writing because on my most recent vehicle, the trans failed at about 130,000. I took it to RC for the usual repair, and they fixed it as usual. But then, because of the major design flaw, it went out again at 275,000. I was in a tough spot because I had since (two-and-a-half years later) retired and moved to Connecticut. So I took it to the local Ford dealer, who wanted $6500 for a new factory trans (they don't do repairs or install rebuilds). The best local trans shop wouldn't touch it because of the inherent reliability issues. So, recalling that Mike at RC said if I ever have a problem--ever!!--to bring it back and he'll make good on the warranty. I called him, and he said, "If you can get the car here, I'll fix it." I had the car hauled from Connecticut to RC and, as you should have guessed by now, the trans was fixed--at no charge! I drove the car back to Michigan, have been driving it now for a week, and no so much as a hiccup. These guys know their business, do fantastic work, and are--more than anything else--men of their word. So, Mike and Dell, all I can say is THANK YOU! and hope that someone who needs your services reads this and sends you their business. read more

These guys are superb! They were recommended to me by word of mouth and they did not disappoint! My daughter's trans was smoking pretty bad and had a stripped bolt. I couldn't find where the fluid was leaking from and finally decided to get a professional involved. From the first moment they were exceptionally professional and helpful, especially Dan and Dell! Turns out I had too much fluid. RC drained the extra fluid, fixed the stripped bolt, and even gave me a ride home when there were no Uber rides available...and didn't charge me anything! These are my trans guys from here on out!!! read more

I was really nervous about taking my truck in for transmission repair because of all the horror stories I've heard from other transmission places. On top the Service was Great. easy to talk with. They explained everything They're going to do and what they did. They went over and above what they had to do. I highly recommend going to RC Trans & Gear. Thanks guys for all your help. Mike read more

We used RC trans many years ago when the trans on my Grand Caravan went bad. Fixed for decent cost and we were given a lifetime warranty. Fast forward to this week. I had my car diagnosed at Auto Zone. The code that came up said I needed a trans fluid flush and a new solenoid. Called around for an estimate and RC was the most reasonable. Had my car towed there yesterday. Got a call this morning that after the battery was charged the engine light did not come on. Two different techs drove my car and both agreed it was working fine and no issues changing gears. I was advised if the light does come on to bring the car back asap. Best part..when I asked how much the bill was I was told "you owe us nothing. " read more

I picked up my car yesterday after a complete transmission overhaul. The work was done on time, they were very up front and helpful during the process and my car is running great! Great shop! Thanks Mike! read more

Bill is the best. Fair and honest. He swapped out a 2 speed trans for a 3 speed in my 67 Camaro for a very fair price. Then when my Acura MDX trans failed he rebuilt it for half the price of a reman with lifetime guarantee. All the guys there are friendly and knowledgeable. Plus... The new shop is beautiful. read more

After a month i was forced to scrap my van after getting a trans done and they couldn't figure out what was wrong after rebuilding it. 2,600 later another shop says they may have reused the torque converter read more

I have to tell everyone out there, a wonderful company. I took my GMC Envoy to these gentlemen, the original transmission had 254,454 miles, it finally gave out. They were great in contacting me with the problem and that I needed a new transmission, this was within 60 minutes of dropping the Envoy off with them. The work was completed within three days, picked up my Envoy, within a day had a problem. They did not nit pick, they did not question. Sent a tow truck for my Envoy, found the problem, which had nothing to do with the transmission. The work was done right away, there was no bill, and completely covered by the warranty. When was the last time you found a company that truly stands with their warranty. I highly recommend RC Trans and Gear. A great Company. read more

Took my girlfriend's car here after it was leaking transmission fluid and slipping out of gear. They were honest and easy to deal with. The cost of the repair was very reasonable. Even without an appointment I was able to drop the car off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon. read more

Do yourself a favor, they still cant figure out how to fix my transmission after several attempts of me coming back every other month! Not reliable techs read more

Good guys to work with. I took my 1967 GTO to them to fix the transmission and rear end. The team at RC was great!

The trans rebuild is fine, but the tech put the car back together improperly. Vacuum lines were swapped, a ground was loose, bolts are missing. The owner is agreeable enough but wasn't keen on paying the bill to fix my car after it was returned to me partially disassembled. read more

These guys are honest and good. I took my car in and originally was told it would need an entire new transmission. They called today to say it only needed a switch, costing a tenth of a new trans. They could have easily put in a new trans and no one would ever know it was not the problem. I hope Randy at RC knows that his reputation is worth its weight in gold. Please go to him if you need transmission work. read more

I needed work done on my transmission. I was not at all familiar with where to go, so I contacted a number of shops and got quotes from $1500-3000. I went to this shop, which is family owned and has been in business for a number of years. You talk to Randy the owner, who is honest in dealing with you. He charged me $300 to get at the transmission to diagnose the problem, which went toward repair of any problems. He discovered the problem and fixed it for $500 Total! Some other shops wanted $1500 to just look at it! IF you want it fixed right and to deal with an honest business owner, see Randy! I think you will be very glad you did, I am! read more
