    Had a severe transmission leak for many years. My confidence is solidified in Vanesa and her brother. Excellent service. Replaced my transmission case with correct year case. My car shifts smoothly and has not one leak to speak of! **They didn't leave a mark or scratch on my paint!** Attention to detail and quality work. I'm dealing with these folks for all of my classics and moderns.

    First initial experience was great but the very end was absolutely horrible. I took my car to SD transmissions because I was having rpm problems and figured it was a transmission issue. I was told that an initial scan of my car would be 90 dollars and any other service with them that 90 dollars would be a credited towards those services (a 90 dollar discount). After the initial scan their employee Jeff (who was helping me all throughout my time there) told me they would have to take my transmission out and do a full check and it would cost 895 dollars plus the 90 dollar credit which would be 805 dollars. That was a lot of money but I needed to figure out what was wrong. After they did the inside check they told me it would be 2900 to fix. (mind my transmission did not need to be replaced) Unfortunately that was too much money for me and I decided to not go through with the services and just sell my car instead. I spoke with a junkyard telling them about my transmission problems and was told I would be getting 940 dollars since the car did still run. The day of pick up I paid Jeff and stupidly paid the 895 dollars without noticing the 90 dollar credit was not given (my own fault). After I paid , my business with SD transmissions was over. Before speaking with the junkyard employee Jeff took it upon himself to lie to the employee and say my transmission needed to be replaced and it was not drivable. I was never told this and would've discussed this with the junkyard while doing my appraisal. Jeff had no right to speak to this man at all because this was my own personal business not regarding him. Due to his lies i was only given 500 dollars. I lost 400 dollars which would've helped me with the almost 900 dollars I just paid. I was lied to and my money was stolen from me and put into a deeper financial hardship. I will never be doing business with SD transmissions ever again.

    wouldn't go anywhere else for transmission work, great prices, great customer service and great work. Definitely a 5 star transmission shop. Vanesa Took the time to advise and get the best deal on quality parts for differential and Axles rebuild , also had my 6L80E rebuild stage 1 with shift kit done there , SDtransmission IS best in Town !!! Richard was very knowledgeable and understanding great guy.

    So I have been trying to find a good honest mechanic, one that wouldn't gain my trust and the stab…read moreme in the back, these guys remind me of my own personal family, honest and up front, if there isn't an issue they don't try and sell you an issue, they do what needs to be done and will give recommendations. Personally had them service my truck and add a deeper transmission pan because when I tow my temps get hot. They not only installed the part and serviced my transmission , they kept it at the same price they quoted me, not like some of these other shops that give you a quote and then it changes after service is completed. Highly recommend would definitely come back.

I was shown the oil and the crappy stuff that was in the oil which happened to be clutch material. So we decided to rebuild it. After that Joseph test drove it and it still had the issue, so they put it on the bench again and took it apart and found that the valve body wasn't working with the old housing so I guess that mine to be that one in a hundred housings the one so we decided to go ahead and get one off the shelf from either performance products Jegs or Summit so that's what we did and they put that in and I guess the one they put in had been put on Dyno for which is really a plus and has a three-year one million mile warranty, so I was jazzed about that! The transmission is awesome!!! Thanks to Ian, Joseph , and the rest of the crew at Advance Transmissions!! You guys ROCK!!!!

    I brought my vehicle into Total Care Transmissions thinking I had a failing alternator. We've been…read morecoming to Julio and his family for a few years now for our everyday cars and once to rebuild our family's classic car. He did a quick preliminary diagnosis and gave me a fair quote for the alternator parts and labor. A few hours later, instead of just doing the expensive repair, he called me and explained that the alternator was actually fine -- the real problem was a wire that was shorting out and causing the symptoms. The repair ended up costing significantly less than expected because they were honest enough to fix the actual issue instead of replacing parts I didn't need. I also had them change the fluids and filters while it was there. He said it looked like my spark plugs needed changing as well. Everything was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find shops that are this honest and transparent these days. Highly recommend Total Care Transmissions for their integrity, communication, and quality work.

I've learned this service is not offered by many general auto shop's ( like Firestone where we go normally for routine repairs). I learned it's recommended every 40-50K miles. .....and we were really overdue. JULIO got me in/ out in less than an hour. He's really professional, efficient, knowledgeable and GOOD PEOPLE!!! Now I have to get our other Honda in ASAP Look no further than this great business for specialty tranny works !

    This was my first major car repair that I've had being a young adult and needless to say I was…read morenervous and unsure of what I was getting myself into. Vanesa, the front desk gal was beyond helpful, very personal and fun to work with. They were extremely patient in explaining the process to me and broke everything down so it was easier for me to understand, seeing that I know nothing about cars. The owners came out and introduced themselves and thanked me for my business. That is so rare!! I had a minor problem with their repair and the Transmission Experts were there immediately to help me fix my problem, no questions asked. Best customer service I've EVER received. Now I'm back on the road and as happy as could be. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any transmission repairs and will be a continued customer if any other issues arise. THANK YOU TRANSMISSION EXPERTS!!!!! Your friends from Monterey

    I don't think they care about all of their customers. Transmission Experts wasted an hour and of…read morehalf of my time and my boyfriend's time, as well as about $30 in fuel cost for us. I called about a week and a half ago, around June 1st, to schedule a transmission service for my car. This shop was recommended to me by a family member and this shop did rebuild the transmission for my car about 8 months ago, so I figured I would give them repeat business. When I called, I asked to make an appointment for a Saturday morning and made it abundantly clear that I wanted to make sure someone would be at the shop because I was driving from over 30 miles away. They assured me a Saturday morning appointment would work. Well, Saturday the 10th rolls around. I wake up at 6:00am on my day off to make sure I get through caring for all the animals on the property and leave with enough time as to not keep the shop waiting. I show up exactly at 9am at the the shop, and nobody is there. I called the number I could find for the shop, and the lady that answered let me know she was "really sorry and forgot to cancel [my] appointment, but I did cancel all the other appointments I had on the calendar today." REALLY?! You remembered to call everyone you had scheduled EXCEPT for me, the one who was probably driving from the furthest distance?! AFTER I made that clear when I set the appointment?! Your apology did not put fuel in our vehicles, nor did it get back the hour and a half we spent driving, nor did it negate the fact that I had to wake up at the crack of dawn on my day off to accommodate YOUR weekend schedule. I will never give this shop my business again, nor will I ever recommend them. Their property looks like a junkyard, to boot. I may pay a little more elsewhere, but I'll get the service I expect (which is the bare minimum for customer service. I don't ask for a lot).
