Sonny's Transmission and Automotive Repair Sonny and Julie…read morehave earned real kudos for how they treat people. It's a given that Sonny has the skills and expertise to do the work...but it goes way beyond that. The story behind how I've come to know this business and the people who are building it becomes anecdotal in nature but meaningful to a far away college student/family. Our daughter is a MSU Vet student and it is required to have a vehicle to travel to the farm for class/work. The car is typical of what you would expect, solid...but from time to time has issues. Until we met Sam and Sonny...we were just hoping her car could get her through to graduation. Hope is not enough when the car had other plans for making dramatic tales of failure just in time for finals/class/lab and work. Sonny and his wife Julie have truly stepped up and have treated my daughter on par as they would their own kids. They understand the need to work with the college kid, and the parent footing the bill. Cars, like anything, will wear out and break down over time. When they do, a good and honest mechanic is a gift. Not only did Sonny and Julie handle the mechanical issue, but also helped diagnose what did NOT need to be done. This shop could have run up a bill on the transmission (which can be typical) but instead gave realistic expectations, checked out the rest of the car and only did what was necessary to make it safe and reliable. And with an old car, as much as could be reasonably expected! Local retail/commercial/campus garages have in large part been horrible to students. Not just to my daughter (before meeting Sam and Sonny). In short, dismissive and rude(knowing the parent and "wallet" isn't available). Thank you again Julie and Sonny for being excellent in so many ways!

My son and I put a rebuilt engine from Powertrain Products in my 2005 F150 and after six weeks we…read morefinally got to start it. To our dismay there was a noise coming from the transmission and the last thing we wanted to do was ruin our new engine with an improperly joined transmission. Note: we are not mechanics and have very little experience working on cars. We watched a lot of YouTube. So I looked for a local transmission shop as the one I have used in the past is no longer in business. I read the review of I S. and knew Sonny's was where I was going to send my truck. I had a similar experience when my daughter was living and going to school in Pensacola. I found a guy I felt I could trust at a PepBoys and he promised to take good care of her 10 year old car as I couldn't make that trip every time she had a problem. Despite having a parking lot full of cars he had to work on, Sonny was able to check my transmission out pretty quickly and found the noise was coming from a protective plate over the catalytic converter that had come loose. He tightened that up, put new end links on the front sway bar that I ask him to do, and that was that. No more noises and my truck drives like a new one. The charges were very reasonable and I am very happy. I now have a place to take my vehicles when they have their issues. Thank you Sonny and Julie for a great experience. By the way, I live in Murray, not California, but I don't see how to change that.

Also, whereas some places would try to convince me that I needed new tires on the rear, they recognized the value of the tires that it had. Finally, while I was there for the repair, I asked if they did the kind of work required to reconnect part of a body panel. They do, and it was repaired by the end of that visit. Plus!!! They did not charge me for that extra repair even though I said that surely I owed them something for the extra work!!! My old car repair people retired, and I was looking for a new home. I've found it.

They had no other vehicles in the shop, so I have no idea why it took so long. The fact that they charge a $15 shop fee on a service they already offer, plus a 3% convenience fee for using a debit card, is beyond ridiculous. It would have been nice to know these fees were going to be charged up front, before making the appointment. An extra, unexpected $30.00 charge on top of the quoted price, is just insane.
