Honest Auto Care was highly recommended to me by a friend, and I am passing that recommendation onto YOU! :) This auto shop is great!!! Iban is personable, attentive, and great at knowing which problems may require replacement parts, or simply repurposing current parts which are still good. I've gone to him for used vehicle evaluations/inspections, oil changes, and some other minor repairs where he saved me a lot of money from turning to a dealership service department. This place is a great find!!!

From the owner: we are honest and wont try to screw you over and tell you what it is straight up.read more

Convincing Liars who turned a 4300 Transmisison Repair into a 10K nightmare…read more My transmission has intermittently not gone into 4th gear for years. Stopping and using the transmission control reset sequence worked to correct this until last summer so we took the Rialta to the mechanic at the top of the road who stated that we needed a new transmission. I looked for transmission rebuild shops and Dave's Transmission Warehouse quoted $3500 including a 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty. I took the vehicle in to have the transmission rebuilt in April. I told him I needed it no later than the end of June for a planned trip. After working on the transmission for several weeks, Dave stated that there was nothing wrong with the transmission, but something external. He said I was not allowed to drive the vehicle in 4th gear (above 40 mph), and that he would not honor the warranty until the external issues were corrected. On 5/3/18, I took the Rialta to Yire Automotive all under 40 mph, you can see the charge for 613.48. They corrected a wire that had been smashed when inserted into the transmission and that cleared all of the diagnosis except one which they stated was an internal transmission error. I took the Rialta back to Dave (all under 40 mph) who worked on it more, and stated that the internal transmission error was not internal. He said it was likely a wire harness issue or some other electrical problem. On 5/30, I took the Rialta to West Seattle Autoworks all under 40 mph. They inspected the vehicle and could find no external issues. They recommended taking it to KC Martin Transmission as they stated that the issue was in the transmission and they could not lift the RV. Since I could not drive it over 40 mph, I called AAA to have it towed to KC Martin Transmission. 6/29/18 KC Martin Transmission stated it was an internal issue as well and recommended taking it to the dealer for confirmation- 318.78. Campbell VW of Edmonds ran tests confirming beyond a shadow of doubt that it was an internal issue. I called Dave's Transmission Warehouse on 7/17 stating that multiple mechanics had stated it was internal. Aaron, the employee, said they would rebuild it again, but if it still had errors, they would want me to pay again. I found this unacceptable, as I have now spent over $1000 proving it was their issue (internal) since Yire fixed the electrical codes. Additionally, I had to rent an RV and a rental house since my RV was not fixed in time for summer plans. I no longer trust their work or their word. On 7/19/18, I was charged 738.29 for the additional diagnostic work, and called AAA to have the Rialta towed to Seatac Transmission who had to rebuild the transmission all over again confirming it was never done properly in the first place. My credit card company contacted them for a refund and they refused. They seem nice enough at first, but their work is shoddy and their warranty useless.

Since I didn't actually pay for work on my car, I won't give DTW Transmission five stars. With that…read moresaid, the reason I didn't pay for a new/rebuilt/used transmission was because Dave--the owner of DTW Transmission--counseled me against it. Yes, you read that right... Even though my car needed a new transmission, Dave turned away the business because he didn't believe the car would run much longer, and only be a source of heartache and continued spending. His advice: rid myself of the car and look for a different vehicle, which is exactly what I'm going to do. In sum, Dave is a knowledgeable, honest, clear, and thoughtful mechanic and person. Heck, after initially dropping my car off at DTW, Dave gave me a ride home. The guy is professional AND nice. If my next car has transmission issues, I'll definitely take it to Dave and DTW Transmission, and you should too!
