Im a local small business owner. Having five company vehicles constantly on the road. At some point your going to need a transmission repair/rebuild. Over the past nine years Ken at Tigard Transmission has rebuilt a Ford f-350 truck trans, 4 Ford vans and two Dodge trucks. Everyone of these vehicles transmissions still work flawless today. I want to thank Tigard Transmission and Ken for there quick responses and turn around. I highly recommend Tigard Transmission. Thank you Michael Swift. read more

The shifter that was installed in 7/2025 broke apart on 4/13/2026. How do I process the warranty on this now that, apparently, this business is closed. read more

Worst Shop Ever! I had issues with the rear differential that they attempted to fix 3 times. One of those times they had my truck parked at their shop for 4 months and gave excuses on my they could not get the parts delivered. The owner constantly has health issues and the employees at the shop cant seem to do things correctly without the owner there! The quality of their work was abysmal! I ended up taking them to court and we settled and have an agreement filed with Washington County Court. They were supposed to pay me by 12/31/2025. I am still waiting on payment from them and its now February! Last message I got from the owner about paying me is "Cant now sorry" Had to take my vehicle to another shop to finally get fixed properly. read more

Our F350 had a sudden transmission failure while we were in Bend. The local shops were all booked out. Tigard Trans advised us on towing and communicated with us on the process to build a durable trans. Triple A ended up taking care of the tow, the HD trans is installed and we are back on the road! Over all a great experience and I am very pleased with the final costs. My thanks to the team at Tigard Trans!! read more

These guys are the absolute BEST OF THE BEST! wow. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys that are MASTERS of the transmission! Ken is an absolute LEGEND! Thank you so much! SEND ALL YOUR RIGS TO THEM! read more

Avoid like the plague, my mother-in-law took her car here after a warning light went off. Ken was who they delt with. This was for a vehicle still under warranty, 1 year left and more than 20k miles before expiration. He told her that the car was shot, and that the transmission was worse than any he had ever seen, and the car should not be driven. My mother-in-law called my partner who tried to assist her. Ken then quoted her a $6,500 for to repair it. She (my partner called me) and asked what we should do, I asked a few basic questions, how many miles, what year, and knew it was under warantee. I told her to call a towing company and have it towed to the dealership, at which point she was told, "oh it's probably okay to drive it". Once at the dealership, after an inspection Beaverton Nissan, (good review comming there way in a minute) went through the vehicle and and found NOTHING WRONG. They suggeted a transmission flush as it was 11,000 miles overdue, and some new wipers. This was blatent fraud. I don't leave reviews, but this one deserved it! read more

Don't know how they even have 3.5 stars. These guys aren't paying their bills, don't answer the phone, nor do they respond to messages. Company has all of the characteristics of a company going out of business. Unless you want to be the person who's car is on the lift when they finally turn off the lights and lock the doors, then I'd steer clear of this establishment. read more

My daughters car was a mystery to a few sets of hands so I took it to Tigard Transmission, it took time (as expected)  but they were able to track down a electrical mess and correct it, install a new TCM and meet me halfway on the time invested. She runs like nothing happened and I couldn't be more happy with my service. read more

This past January 2023, the transmission on my 1993 Chevy Blazer Tahoe went out on me. After searching around at 12 different nearby transmission shops, I felt most comfortable about doing business with Ken at Tigard Transmission. I dropped the vehicle off on a Saturday morning and kept in touch with Ken and his wife via phone calls and texting. Early in the week, I paid for the transmission. Then by the following Saturday, I picked up the vehicle and paid them in full for the remaining amount. I was even given a discount on the labor as I was able to pay cash, and given a warranty too. To this day, the transmission is working fine and there have not been any problems as of yet in regards to shifting into high or low gears. Ken and his wife understood that I had financial issues when I first walked into their shop as I am a returning college student who works part time. They were gracious enough to work with me to get the job done for a fair price. I even dropped by their shop a couple of times to check on the progress of the work and was always treated with courtesy and respect of which I appreciated very much. Every business is going to have good and disgruntled customers no matter what. I believe I'm one of the good customers because I made the effort to shop around. Then, I kept in communication with Ken, his wife, and the other shop mechanics as to the transmission work they were performing on my vehicle. If you have a transmission problem, you really can feel comfortable taking your vehicle to this husband and wife owned Tigard Transmission shop. They are easy to work with, will honestly treat you right and will work with you and your budget. I will definitely take my future vehicles to them. Robert S. read more

Ken told me that I was going to get a $900 refund on a rebuilt transmission installation. Never got it. On top of that it took them 6 weeks to get a transmission and install it. Refund aside their service was terrible read more

As usual i pushed my car to its breaking point..... broke my axle on my subaru and when i say broke.... it was bad! I am a single female living paycheck to paycheck so a repair like this put me into full panic mode fast. I called the first mechanic that popped up and it was Tigard Transmisson. I called the number at 8pm (way after business hours) thinking i was going to have to leave a message but to my surprise the owner, Ken, answered! And when i say he was amazing i really mean it. The first thing he asked me is if i was ok and in a safe place and after i told him yes he them asked me a couple random non car questions wich calmed me down enough to explain what was going on with my car. He listened and even understood my descriptive "noises". He did not spend an hour "mansplaining" he was straight up with me and broke down the price and what and why would happen. Unlike most mechanic he did not act like i was unknowledgeable about cars because i was a woman. And the price he quoted was about 30% less than the other 3 quotes i later got. I had my car towed to his shop, he told me it could be up to 5 days before he could get to it because they were swamped but to my surprise he called me 2 days after it waz dropped off to tell me it was done! And not only that it ended up costing me $100 less than quoted. I cant put into words how happy i was with the whole experience. I am so grateful for Ken and everything he did for me and my family. I highly recommend and will be back if i ever need any repairs. read more

I noticed a leak in my pan and they were the first call. They didn't answer the phone but called me back right away even though I didn't leave a message. Good start. As my service vehicle is the life blood of my business, the fact that they had me back on the road in two days was very important. I will take all my vehicles here moving forward. read more

Worst experience I ever had, I came with small problem in the transmission. I bring the car about 11:00 am to TRANSMISSION CENTER , they said they will check and let me know what is the problem and est price. Called me day after in the morning . told me that the computer is burnt too and they want $2000+ to change the computer and fix the transmission problem. I told him that I am coming to take my car and he offer me the service for 1800. I said I will think about that and Then the texting start. Transmission center 8:34 am "This is ken with Tigard Transmission if get a decision by 10 can have your vehicle done today thanks" Me 8:36 am Don't need to, I'm on my way to pick up the car, will be there in 1 hour. Thanks. Transmission center 8:38 am Ok sorry 1300 best can do that is computer and solonoids parts and labor have to buy new all used ones bad plus has warranty on new computer then done right thanks In this point I'm not answering Transmission center 8:39 am 1193 would be total Transmission center 8:46 am Will do the service for free Transmission center 9:34 am To help out if not it is ready to go Me 9:42 am I'm on my way. So the price went down from $2000+ to $1193 in about 1 hour of argument. If he was saying $1000 in the start probably I was using his service, but with lies and stupidity you can never buy me, even for $500 I'll not deal with business "man" like him. What happened next this is the real reason why I am writing about this place. I came to take the car and the car don't start, I asking them what's going on so they telling me I need to fix the starter too ! WHAT THE F?????? I told him to fix it, the starter was in great condition when I bring the car in!!!!!!!! After 2.5 hours he called the police on me because I told him that if I bring something that working it's under his responsibility. I needed to tow my car. If something like that happened to you too guys please email me to azyairol@gmail.com . I see the reviews and I know that have lots of people like me. We can work together to make that place close ,no one need to deal with this BS anymore. read more

I've been a repeat customer of Tigard Transmission for approximately five years. This is my first review of them. I should have done it earlier. I just have to say: They have repeatedly earned my business and they've earned this review. I'm an attorney, but I fancy myself a mechanic. I've removed and completely rebuilt engines. I know cars. But transmission internals/rebuilds are beyond my experience (and that of most mechanics) so I trust them to Ken. The important thing is: I am one of those people who would know if a shop was blowing smoke trying to add work ("it definitely needs a new widget") or up-charge ("I know I said $700 but It took more labor than expected and it ended up $1,500"). If you have a transmission issue, don't bring it to someone who doesn't specialize in transmissions. A normal "mechanic" will 100% just tell you you need a new transmission and they'll swap it. Big mistake. Take it to a transmission expert. If you want honesty and competence, bring it to Tigard Transmission. Support this local husband and wife business. They value their customers and will treat you right. read more

I brought my 2017 Silverado 3500 Dually there with an issue I tried everything to resolve and finally gave up after replacing the transfer case and drive shaft. I explained my efforts, the owner Ken listened and his own son was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fix it the same day and charged me a fraction of what I expected. Ken is as hardworking and honest as they come. Highly recommend. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Ken the owner was very Personable and easy to work with. My truck drives amazing after they rebuilt my 68re transmission the best part is that I saved about $2000. ( it was an upgraded transmission rebuilt ) Don't even waste your time shopping around. Tigard transmission center has the a great team with all the knowledge and professionalism to get The job done. Thanks Guys read more

I didn't spend one dime at this shop took my Volkswagen there to get diagnosed, but then decided to take it elsewhere just because I wanted a specific place that specializes in my vehicle (not that they didn't) just what I wanted. They called checked in on it gave amazing service and even went out of there way to diagnose it anyway for FREE. Amazing business definitely recommend. read more

I left a voicemail and ken called back so quick. Within the hour his wife and son came out to look at my jeep as it was dead in my carport. With in the day I was able to get into them and with in the week I think three days my car was fixed. I am a mom of four. We live paycheck to paycheck. It was incredibly hard to come up with the money to fix it but it was reasonable deal and discount. Which is still a lot but incredibly helpful. All three solenoids replaced as well as filter for transmission. I was told some other things that will need to be replaced as well unfortunately I cannot afford that at the moment but the heads up is appreciated so I can start trying to save. The customer service was amazing very clear communication. And I am so thankful I will only ever take my car here in the future. Words cannot express how wonderful these humans are. Also this is the first time I've driven my jeep and it's smooth and quiet. Thank you again!!!!!! read more

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! The owner Ken and his lackey mechanic Russ are professional con artists. After they "fix" your transmission with a Remanufactured or by rebuilding it, they insist that it will continue to slip, slam into gears and search for gears. Now I'm out thousands of dollars and I've got a car that only has low gears, but according to them it drives perfect. They have a whole toolbox of delay tactics hoping to never hear from you again. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN! read more

I'd like to know how long the five star reviews transmissions worked. I'm shocked that they got five stars. I only gave them one because that's the only way I could write a review. I would have given a zero if possible. Over $3000 for a transmission that lasted only 6 months! Went back and forth with Ken for a resolve, but he gave excuses after excuses! He never made it right. The guy is a liar and a thief! Heading to the Better Business Bureau. read more

Please do not go to this place. Total fraud. We paid $ 2400 to repair our car. They did not fix the problem at all. It was the same after spending that much money. We asked them to fix the problem and they did not do it. Very bad customer service. They kept our vehicle for almost a month for repair and instead of fixing the vehicle they damaged it even more. They did not even put the parts back in, it was all dirty inside. We had to spend another $1500 to fix the problem. I would not recommend this place to anyone. They should get less than one star. read more

Tigard Transmission installed a rebuilt transmission in my 94 Astro, by my request. The staff were flexible and accommodating to my work schedule. The tranny has a warranty. I've put several hundred miles on it since and I'm very satisfied with the work. It's an honest shop. read more

They were good at keeping me updated, gave me options when they could, and willing to negotiate the cost a little bit when possible. In general they were really nice to work with read more

I was referred here since my mechanic thought my transmission might be going out. They checked it out and gave me the very good news that it was actually just a rock stuck in my brake making all that racket. Why they are getting 5 stars is because they checked my car out right away, no problem (Les Schwab told me it was a 4 hour wait just to look at my car). When you are not planning on car problems and have a job, the last thing you can do is wait around for your car to be checked out. Additionally, he did this for free. I am so grateful they checked it out and were so kind and gracious. read more

One of my co-workers brought his Kia here because he was having transmission problems. Six months and $1200 later and his car still isn't fixed. The owner has been giving him the run-around from the beginning. Their most recent attempt to repair it was to supposedly swap the transmission. He picked it up yesterday and it has the same exact symptoms. I've finally convinced him to get the Better Business Bureau involved so that's his next course of action. Avoid this shady business at all costs. Tigard transmission has since made this situation right. read more

The transmission in my husband's Jeep went out and we were recommended to go to Tigard Transmission from my father in law. Ken (the owner) was great to work with. He is down to earth, friendly, has great communication skills, him and his team are extremely hard workers and trustworthy! Although it obviously isn't the best when your transmission goes out it was overall a good experience and its back on the road at a very reasonable price. read more

First of all, I'm not from San Francisco. I tried to change that with no success!! ??????? I am so thankful to Ken and his crew for their professional skill and honesty when I had transmission problems. They did an incredible job for less money than I expected - and guaranteed their work! Their heartfelt care of their customers is unmistakable. I would never go anywhere else!! read more

Took my suburban in for a tranny diagnostic, expected them to do what most places have done in the past. Take a guess and hope that's the problem. Time & time again this has been the case. A few years ago I started taking more of an interest in learning how things are installed and what their functions are. Has saved me hundreds of dollars since and this shop not only diagnosed the ailment, but showed me what was causing it. Top notch business! Very friendly. Glad to come across a place that knows the importance of being upfront and honest mechanics. Good karma for this crew. read more

This company fits the typicle stereotype for auto shops. Took my GMC Yukon in to get the transmission looked at because of clunking noise during starting and stopping they kept my truck for a full day and told me I was missing gear 3 and 4 but again the shifting wasn't my issue. They told me I needed a new transmission they had the best price $2,300 compared to $3,200 plus bids I got so I took it. They basically charged me $2,300 for there pathetic 3 year 36,000 mile warranty for doing a service on it. If I can keep just another honest hard working person from taking there car or truck to these guys I've done my job. Just for the record this was under the new owner. read more

Good news! NEW OWNER! Ken from Lake Oswego Transmissions, a place noted for value, honesty, and skills, with Five Star reviews, recently bought Tigard Transmissions... Please disregard the bad reviews from the period of the previous owner....who was known in the area for high prices, corner cutting, simply not being the best place to bring a car. I'm thrilled to hear that Ken and staff are still in the region and now here in this facility...they have done great work at very fair price on our vintage Jeep Ckerokee when they had L.O. Trans..... I hope the poor reputation from the previous operator does not hurt Ken in this new, for him, location. Please disregard the old reviews for this business...they were in my own view, pretty much correct for then, ( a neighbor of mine also had a bad experience a few years ago) but certainly not for now. read more

They canceled appointment 3 times the day before. The last person wouldn't reschedule me for a Saturday again and told me that I had been misled the other times by someone telling me that the service would be able to be done on a Saturday in the first place. Ended up being a big waste of my time. read more

So here's the deal with these guys. If you want to have something else wrong with your car when you leave, then this is the place. If you don't want any communication from them while they have your car, this is the place for you. We took our car to them as they quoted us the best price in town, had transmission rebuilt, but when it was finally completed we ended up having different problems with our car. Their work is so sub par that I do not want or trust them to fix new problem. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy. Look around first, there is a reason the "BBB" gives them an F rating. read more

My transmission was having issues. I brought it in to find out what was wrong and wanted to use my aftermarket warranty. The shop helped me use my warranty, got the parts needed to fix my truck quickly and got me back on the road. Highly recommend if you need any transmission work done. read more

My brothers took his truck there $3400.00 later and they had the truck over a month, got only two hundred miles down the road and transmission went out again. Story after story run around, didn't perform the job they said he lives two hours from there but it broke down in Tigard, waiting to see what the owner will do than I will write a lengthy review post pictures of his job and text messages. Please make this right we wired you the money when you asked, just provide another transmission and understand why he doesn't want ya to do the job again. read more

This is in response to the negative rating that was written about us recently. Tigard Transmissions is under new ownership in the last month. I would like to find out when the work was done to your vehicle, and also what type a vehicle it was. Customer service and quality workmanship is always at highest priority for us, so if there is anything we can do to resolve the issues that you are having, please contact us. Best Regards read more

Don't take your car here, they will just rip you off. They did a transmission rebuild for $2,300, which included a 36 month/50,000 mile warranty, and I gave the car to my son right after the transmission was rebuilt. Something went wrong the other day with the transmission, and they said they will not honor the warranty because my son isn't the original customer. That is very upsetting and disappointing. I urge anyone who is reading this NEVER to go there. read more

I went into Tigard transmission last week for a hard shift and engine rattle in my 1996 Toyota Camry. My car has 205,000 mile on it so it's no spring chicken but she has been very good to me. I was told "your transmission is toast and your engine mounts are almost all severed" of course I was shocked and asked more questions like how much time I really had and what this was going to cost me. (Mind you I am a 29 year old woman and went in with a girlfriend of mine) he told me "I would be shocked if your transmission lasts the summer and as far as the engine mounts could be 2 years or one good speed bump and your engine will just fall out of your car!" Needless to say this scared the crap out of me. And he quoted me at 2400-3000 to fix them. My boyfriend and I just took it into Tualatin Transmission and after close examination and a road test I was told "your car is fine... It's old but fine. It's been well taken care of and if you continue to do scheduled maintenance should get 40-50,000 more miles out of it. And the motor mounts are all intact." There is not a doubt in my mind that Tigard was trying to take advantage of a women trying to be an adult and fix her car herself instead of having to make her boyfriend deal with it. Do not use this shop unless you enjoy doing unnecessary repairs! read more

took my car there for a coolant leak. they messed around all day and when i called to find out what was going on they could not tell me where the leak was.when i picked up my car it was running very bad. i asked them what happened and they said i needed plug wires. i took my cay home and discovered they switched the plug wires around. these people are scum bags. i would not let them work on my kids bike. read more
