Update: One year later, my truck is running great! The transmission still works well and smoothly. I'm impressed with the work that Riverside Transmission did for me last year. I'm even more impressed with their honesty and customer service. read more

I highly recommend this place, Rich and crew are not only awesome but quick. I had my transmission rebuilt on my Ford F150 Supercrew this past week, and not only did they over communicate, they got my truck back up and running a day earlier that they quoted. Thanks a lot Rich. read more

My son's Ford F250 broke down and we figured out it was the transmission. I'm a decent car mechanic and I did a diagnostic test on the transmission. I figured out it was the solenoid pack in the 4R100 Ford transmission. Got the Chinese made solenoid pack from O'Reilly's Auto Parts for $240 and installed it. That didn't fix it. I figured it had to be a sensor. I replaced 2 of the sensors. Still didn't work. So I figure out it had to be a short in the wiring from the computer to the solenoid pack. I couldn't find a problem and it turned out to be just too much for me. My son had the truck towed over to a car repair shop in Riverside. This shop has been good to us and the prices were decent, too. Well, they said the transmission was shot and it needed to be replaced and it would cost somewhere around $2,500. My son felt sick. I called a shop that only worked on transmissions. Rich answered the phone and I explained the problem and he said it sounds like the transmission may just have electrical issues. I felt better after talking to Rich so I had the truck towed over to Riverside Transmission Center. Rich said the diagnosis will be around $90 and he'll call me if it goes over that amount, depending on how much time he spends on it. I told him it has new sensors and solenoid pack. He called me back later in the day and said he found an issue with the O2 sensor, but that wouldn't fix the main issue. I told him go ahead and keep diagnosing the transmission. He called me the next day and said he found the problem. It was the solenoid pack. The same (Chinese made) solenoid pack I had just purchased from O'Reilly. I told him to go ahead and replace it with a Ford solenoid pack. He did. He called me later that day the the truck was fixed and ready to be picked up. Needless to say, my son and I were both very excited and happy. The American made solenoid pack was a lot more expensive, but if I would had used the American made solenoid pack, it would have worked. Rich found the problem and fixed it for only $900. The other garage wanted to charge $2,500 for a rebuilt transmission. I can't say enough good things about Rich and Riverside Transmission Center. He saved us a lot of money and unneeded aggravation. Thank you Rich. You don't go to the dermatologist when your feet hurt. Then why would you go to an automotive repair shop when you have transmission issues? Next time I have transmission problems, I'm going to bring it to Riverside Transmission Center. Thanks again Rich. read more

We've been going to Riverside Transmission for several years now for all of our vehicle repairs. Small, family run business. They are honest, knowledgable and dependable. They've done everything from fixing our cars A/C to oil changes to transmission services. Never had an issue and their prices are competitive. read more

My vehicle was starting to shift hard from park to drive. I decided to go here and have them look at my transmission. They had a waiting room, restroom, and gave me a bottle of water. Good people skills, did a thorough job of explaining to me what the problem was and what needed to be done. Unfortunately, the cost of the repair wasn't worth it. Quoted over 4K. read more

Third time in about 6 years I've taken my car in for service, for various repairs. Just took it in this time for what I was SURE was a transmission issue...and braced myself for a big payout. Got a call from Rich who told me some vacuum hoses and valve were replaced for under $300! They are honest (yes, apparently there are some who are), and prompt with service/estimates/repair. Highly recommend! read more

Riverside Transmission center is AMAZING!! They totally saved me. I went into Toyota of riverside for a recall and they came back with all this " work " my car needed done and they wanted to charge me 3,000+ to fix the problems. Like anyone, i freaked out cause wow that's a lot of money so i denied and went and got a second opinion at Riverside Transmission Center. We called and they got me in the next day and yes my car had some problems but everything Toyota told me was completely incorrect and way overpriced. The problems Riverside Transmission center fixed for me costed me $260, so they saved me sooo much money and we're completely honest with me. I will forever support a company that isn't out to make money off of you, but to be there to help and be honest. My car is all fixed and i couldn't be happier with the company. Totally recommend this place. Rich and Evan helped me and they are wonderful. Great costumer service!! Thank you! read more

Rich and his team rebuilt my 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D transmission and did a great job. Work was completed in a timely manner and they had no issues sourcing the parts needed on this old German transmission. They took the time to get it right . The final bill was a little over the high end of the original estimate, but the end result was a transmission that now works the way it is supposed to. Rich was very accommodating and opened the shop on a Saturday morning to allow me to pick my car up. Thank you, Rich! read more

Quoted a price over the phone and then when I went in to pay the price rose 40%

After one year and four months since I have my transmission rebuilt I can say that they did a good job, my transmission is shifting at the right moment and it is no difference comparing with the original transmission. Best warranty and a reasonable price make them a good choice if you need a new trans. read more

Horrible service they forgot to put transmission fluid in my car and I picked it up thinking it was good to go , my car was able to go past 35 miles per hour before I dropped it off and it had a transmission leak , they fixed the leak and replaced the pan but forgot to add transmission fluid in the car and now my transmission is fucked , I was having difficulty driving on the streets halfway back to down town , the place was already closed at 5 so I didn't bother to call them I just did it anyways around 6 and someone did answer I told them what happened and they said to bring the car in the next day and they could of messed with a wire , so today I tried to move the car and it got stuck at a shopping center down the street doesn't want to reverse or change gears , and they said they hold no responsibility for it when they did absolutely forget to add the transmission fluid and it is on the reciept as paid , now they don't want to help get it towed , all they can do is take a look at it and charge.me for some other labor when they made my situation worse now I'm homeless with my 3 dogs read more

Impressive is the word I want to use! My first visit a few months ago when I thought I had a transmission problem, I checked yelp and this business had a couple good reviews so I gave them a try. Philip and Guy helped me. Guy said the computer in the car may just need a reset, since my husband and I drive differently and the cars nowadays are smart and adjust to the driver. He reset it and my car drove perfectly. If it continued to have a problem I was to bring it back and the small service charge would be applied to the repair. My car was fine with the reset. Today, a few months later my cars engine light was on. I called and talked to the owner Rick and he said he can check (error) codes on vehicles to determine what's wrong and in some cases can do the repairs. It was my lucky day!! Not only did he not charge me for the service visit, he found the error code was a CAM sensor, and did that repair for me. He also recommended I have a transmission service which involves taking OFF THE PAN, changing the filter, etc. My 120,000 mile transmission was in "Pristine" condition-his words, and recommended I simply follow up with the normal maintenance afterwards. I APPRECIATE the HONESTY and INTEGRITY that Rick, Guy and his staffed have exhibited to me. I RECOMMEND the Riversdide Transmission Center to anyone read more
