Turns out that was exactly the problem, and the transmission is fine. I was in and out in a couple of hours and the issue was fully fixed! Awesome people, special shout out to John Orleski.

ECM "programming" upsell factory. Brought my 2014 GMC…read moreTerrain in. Quoted ~$1,300 for ECM + install + programming after a $212 diagnostic (supposed to roll into the repair). I supplied a pre-programmed, VIN-matched ECM to keep it simple and cheap. They still tried to tack on a $200-$300 "programming" fee, claiming "your key won't work without it." Reality check: after they installed the ECM, the car started immediately with my original key. No special programming needed. When I asked for the standard GM SPS/TIS programming session log to prove anything was actually flashed, they wouldn't provide it. If programming was necessary or performed, producing that log takes 30 seconds. They couldn't--because the upsell wasn't real. Other gotchas: the diagnostic "credit" only applies if you buy their parts (not disclosed up front), and they hide behind "Global A requires SPS" as a blanket excuse to sell full reflash even when a VIN-matched module starts the car just fine. Post-install, they tried to keep the narrative going; I removed the vehicle to stop the billing creep. Bottom line: they tried to turn a $400-$600 ECM swap into $1,300 with invented "programming" and zero documentation. If you go here, demand itemized labor and the SPS session report before paying for any programming. If they can't show it, walk. I won't be back.

I got the vehicle back two weeks later and was THRILLED thinking the nightmare was finally over and I could move on with my life with my vehicle running smoothly. I was wrong. I only had my vehicle back for twenty minutes when I tried to start it and surprise it wouldn't start. I decided to try it in neutral and bam it started... It's the same issues all over again.... less than one week after having the vehicle back I had to have it towed because no power what so ever. I want to get in car and start it and it wouldn't start. My vehicle doesn't even have a horn. My biggest issue is it's starting in neutral, not shifting right or at all at times, it's jumping, barely has power at times, and I'm not sure what to do next other than file a lawsuit because this isn't what I paid for at all. This is supposedly the second rebuild on my tranny in 40 thousands miles and my vehicle recently hit 130 thousand miles. It's been nothing but issues with the SAME issues the entire time I've owned it and all I want is for the vehicle that I've paid a lot of money for to run smoothly and be reliable. Is that too much to ask??? I have kids and a sick baby that I can barely get to his appointments and it's a shame. I absolutely hate leaving negative reviews but in this case I must to try and save another family from going through what my family is at the moment.

I did end up driving to the other facility twice because it literally made me sick to my stomach to go to Dave's. Every time I went for service, I was berated for not bringing cash. One time, he literally yelled in my face. Three times that I did use my credit card, the total was incorrect. Always overcharged, of course. One time I was there when a different customer came for service. Dave stopped working on my interlock to service the other customer's interlock. Even after the other customer said he was not in any hurry, I went for one of my appointments only to have Dave tell me he had to go somewhere to do a job. I asked how long he would be gone and he said he couldn't tell me. He said it could be over an hour and if the shop closed before he returned, I would have to sit in my car and wait. I decided to return another day. At my last appointment, to get the device uninstalled, I was told it would take an hour and to come back. I returned in exactly one hour. The car was done, but now Dave was eating lunch. All he needed to do was ring me out so I could leave. Instead, he made me sit there and watch him while he finished his lunch and even fed his dog before he took the two minutes it required to ring me out. This was his last chance to be disrespectful and he was going to take advantage of it. If you want a garage that treats you with even a little respect and doesn't demand you pay in cash (shady), go anywhere but Dave Granteed's garage.

I have been working in the automotive field and have cross referenced business with Dave for several years. Smart Start takes cash or card payments. Once a payment through their system is submitted, Dave or any other business using this system will be billed for the amount tendered. You call this shady? Please get a life. The money will be paid to them regardless so that throws that stupid comment right out the window. Do a little research on things before you decide to spit out ignorant comments. On another note, it seems like you had to go back to the office quite a few times while there were other jobs being performed. If you were late to an appointment or didnt have one and just showed up that's probably why. Mechanics have schedules just like everyone else. If those schedules cant be met then we move onto the next one to keep the day rolling. Same as any other business. I fully recommend Dave and his associates. Been working together for years and sending eachother business. All work is 100% and honest.
