I needed a transmission rebuild and after calling several repair shops I talked to Mark. He quoted me a price that was $1000 cheaper than the other 6 or 7 shops and also installed a transmission cooler to stop what was causing the transmission to break down in the first place at no extra charge. That was 2 years ago and it is still working great. I have sibnce had several other repairs done and they are always resonably priced and the work is done quickly. I have never been disappointed by Mark at Seattle Transmission and do not plan to go anywhere else from now on. read more

Our go-to shop when one of our cars needs work or just an inspection. The do a thorough job at a fair price, and make sure we remain informed about the condition of our vehicles. read more

We have been going to Seattle Transmission with both our car and our truck, for quite a few years now, at the recommendation of one of our sons. We've always had a good experience there.. Mark and his wife are both very friendly and helpful. We would recommend them for anyone. They are very busy and sometimes you have to wait, but it's all worth the wait. The first time we went, it was to because the tranny went out on our car. Quotes for a few other shops were at a minimum of $3000, Got it done with Seattle transmission for much less and they did a quality job... We go there for all auto work. read more

I took my 2010 Ford Explorer in for a new transmission and brake job. They were super affordable and came recommend by a good friend. Work was done on time and below other quotes from nearby shops. This is my go to mechanic from now on. read more

Mark is knowledgeable and beyond accommodating. He made sure I understood what was going wrong with my car and did a thorough examination. You can't beat fair pricing and someone who truly cares!!! read more

This is a bad place for auto repair. Will say he is fixing your car problem & that same part he fixed will break down again with in a month & he wants more money to fix it again. He will tell you that it is something else wrong with your car & that's not what you know is wrong with your car. If you know cars like I do than you already know whats going on with your car period. He fixes things that aren't even broke just to add more money to the bill. My car has been there for a month & no work has been done but wants to charge me for stuff he has not even done since it's been there. I bought a car from him & he actually knows what's wrong with it but telling me different stuff. I have a warranty on my Tranny & he wants to wait until the warranty expires before he does any work so that I can give him more money. He is a very money hungry guy & very unprofessional. read more

A very fair and reasonable shop. My Ford Taurus transmission went out, a common occurrence with some models, so I went to several shops for estimates. I had estimates from 1500 to 3800 .... Since my father had used Seattle Trans I went with them and they were the lowest quote. Car ran fine for many years after. They are upfront and informed. If needed, I'll use them again. read more

This place quoted me the best price on a transmission rebuild for my minivan. Mark, who runs the place seems very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He let me know that the job would take about a week and it did. He called me to tell me that when they had it apart he noticed I needed a new C/V joint and charged me only for the part. He said they were in there anyway, no extra labor charge. When I picked up the van he presented the old part. 12 months later I had a check engine light come on with a code for P1739 referencing a vague transmission concern. I called up mark and he was familiar with that code. He told me to bring it in and we scheduled a time. I was in and out in under an hour. They replaced my '3rd gear electrical switch' and it's shifting smoothly where before there was a slight delay at certain times. I'm still under warranty so it was free of charge. Overall I'm happy and would come here again. It's a longer drive from my home but worth it. read more

Great place to take your car to figure out what is not working properly. I went there to get a car inspected that I was interested in purchasing, and the mechanic that looked at it took his time and did a wonderful job at explaining to me how much work needed to be done and the proper price of the car. Good place to go if your in need of car help! read more

Used then years ago on my 1998 garage maxi van and it runs like a dream and would recommend then to anyone with auto problem that can't be fix normally read more

STAY AWAY from this shop AND MARK. they are not good mechanics! they rebuilt my tranny 6 times in TWO MONTHS! i had to take it to the dealer to get it fixed correctly! i was stranded with 2 kids, one is disabled. then they didn't want to give me my money back! but i got my money back! and i will tell everyone to stay far away from this shop! i never got an apology for all the inconvenience! never offered a loaner car! I was told it was my cars computer as to why my tranny was burning out. I took MY CAR TO CHEVY IN BURIEN! THEY CHECKED IT.Chevy told me my car was perfect, that the transmission they were "rebuilding " was crap! Mark did not want to give me my $2300. But he really had no choice considering I have documentation from my dealer saying the tranny they put in was crap. STAY AWAY! RUN! RUN FAST! FYI, they also own the shop directly across from bartells in white center!! read more

These guys (and the lady) are great. I came in to get my transmission checked and to have my headlight replaced. Was very impressed by the level of professionalism. My car was serviced at the dealership a month ago but they didn't feel like there were any problems even though the car was acting up. The techs at Seattle Transmission ran a test on my car and took it for a spin to evaluate the problem. As I suspected, my transmission was busted. They gave me an estimate and an honest opinion about what to expect if I was to repair my transmission. Apart from the problems with my car, they didn't push for any more testing or any other services which I really appreciated. They didn't have the bulb for my car's headlight so they rang up another shop and it was delivered within 5 minutes. Again, very impressive as I was trying to get the darn thing replaced for 2 weeks now to no avail. The staff are very laidback and I would go back to have repairs done on my car in a heartbeat. read more

I have an 11-year old car, with relatively low mileage (less than 55K). A mechanic I will not name told me that my transmission was ruined and needed replacing and it would cost me many thousands of dollars. I was planning to buy a new car. Thank goodness someone recommended Seattle Transmission, who determined that the issue had nothing to do with the transmission and fixed my car for a tiny fraction of what the other mechanic was proposing. My car now runs even better than it did before the problem started. Wonderful experience. read more

Gave me the best price on my transmission..n they did a great job. When I have a problem they took care of it for me. Great service

After getting a transmission from here, it failed after a month and my car broke down. I took my car to the dealership. They said whoever put in my transmission had no idea what they were doing. TRUTH read more

In 2012, I took my Volvo XC70 there after getting quotes over $6K for replacement. It was rebuilt for about $2000 and they had the best warranty around. Four years and 40,000 plus miles later I sold the car. Recently had my sons 92 Honda in for work and he did some extra things for a reasonable cost. His car drives like my 2014 Accord, Zippy. Fair price, good warranty, trustworthy. It might take a little longer because it's a small shop, but you know who worked on your car, it's done right and you can come back years later and they remember the car. read more

The couple that owns and works here are very nice and their cost is affordable .... I took my Camry here to fix the head gasket and their work was amazing and more affordable than other places I've gotten quotes from . I was recommended to them by a friend who brings all his cars here ... And now I bring all of our family card here to repair .. I don't have to worry about them cheating or not doing a good job. read more

Took my car to Mark to rethread an oil drain plug that was stripped. I was quoted over 1k at 2 different shops. Mark was affordable and quick! This is a great shop if you want great service. read more

I'm really surprised and satisfied with the expertise and dedication in doing an excellent job on all three of my vehicle's each and every time I go to Seattle Transmission. They go over and above, to please and do an excellent job each and every time I have ever gone there. Not only that, but they always please me with honesty when quoted a price, and it turns out to be something less involved that was originally diagnosed, with a new lower adjusted bill upon completion. If you're looking for a good place to go for all auto repair (not just transmission work), I personally recommend Seattle Transmission. I have recommended them to many of my friends that needed repairs done and all have also been pleased with their outcome. Thank You Seattle Transmission read more

I do most of my own mechanical work, or at least I used to until I found Mark. He is as good as they get: mechanically adept, very keen to keep his customers happy and returning, reasonably priced, and honest. Good luck finding anyone else with even one of those traits .... No one is perfect, and I've had repairs which required a return trip for rework. I'm pretty sure that happens at most Jaguar dealers as well ..... He's gotten a lot of referral customers from me, and will continue to as well. read more

Had transmission rebuilt by Mark and his crew and have taken back 3 times already. No more. STAY AWAY from them!

Agree with many of these other reviews. Also, they will make all sorts of excuses why they will not honor your warranty. Mark is rude and a con artist in my opinion. I would stay away from these guys. My car never ran the same and I ended up just getting rid of it rather than trying to get it repaired for the 4th time. Complete hacks and unreliable work. read more

Great price and service. I've been going to this shop for years. Mark and Lena have been friendly. This shop does get really busy, so you'll have to be patient. They use OEM parts, but if that's not available they'll use a comparable manufacturer. Also, since they're prices are so competitive, they don't have any frills (i.e. car rental, car wash). They've done a major tuneup (timing belt, plugs & water pump) on my Acura TL. It was half the price from the dealer and runs smooth. Recently, they repaired the transmission on my wife's MDX and it runs great. read more

I can't think of anything bad to say. I have never had good luck with transmission repair. They replaced my transmission and it worked great. They worked with me on price. Later when my wheel came off, no shop would touch my Audi and I asked them and they fixed it too. I basically think they are the best shop in Seattle. read more

HE IS HORRIBLE! I have a 2008 Dodge Charger. I went to MARK THE OWNER for a new water pump. He told me everything he would do that has to do with my water pump. He "fixed" it water pump. After I paid $700 plus dollars, 5 minutes after I left his shop I heard a noise. I called him to ask why is my car making a noise, he told me I need a tentionor. I asked him why didn't he let me know this when he had my car apart. I bring my car back to him after a month. After he "supposedly " looked at it now it needs a timing chain. In my text messages he told me he was replacing my timing belt along with a few other things I paid 724 dollars for. After having my car there for 2 weeks he then tells me I need a new engine. WTF!! Nothing was wrong with my engine at all. Before I actually took my car to him I called a few different shops for price quotes. everyone told me make sure you go to a place that knows what they are doing because if they don't set you timing chain back correctly it will shut your entire car down. Now that is my issues with my car. BTW he tells me he can put a new engine/timing chain kit/tentionor for $2000 dollars mind I just gave him 724 a month before for things that he should have already fixed. A co woker told me to report him to the BBB and they will send him a letter out and most of the time the business complies NOT MARK, he was in rage after he received his letter from BBB. He called me to pick up my car. I send my tow driver. My tow driver says HEY he has your car in pieces. I called Mark and said you need to put my car back together. He then tells me WHO is gonna pay for him to put my car together. I told him to put my car BACK HOW IT CAME TO HIM or I'm taking him to court. That is what I will be doing. Ps) He tells my male friend via phone call. "I to transmissions only" Why would his low life of a man take my car in the first place to work on it if he only does transmissions. That is a very confusing statement to say the least. IF YOU WANT YOU VEHICLE TO BE FIXED RIGHT THE FIRSRT TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO GO BACK AND FORTH FOR THE SAME ISSUE....DONT GO TO *****MARK AT SEATTLE TRANSMISSION AND REPAIR'**** read more

Under new ownership. Nice people and very reasonable. You should check this place out if you're in need of a new transmission.
