I was just arriving into El Paso when my car's transmission gave out. Had car towed to shop on Lee Trevino. This was a few days before Christmas. They only had 2 mechanics working as others taking holiday days off. Car sat there for 8 days without touching it. Week after Christmas mechanic that works on transmissions returned. Shop is called Trevino Transmissions but, as I understood', only one mechanic that works on transmissions could work on it. Finally received my car 4 days later. I am from San Antonio and I did receive a 2-year warranty, BUT clearly printed was if problem occurs, 'customer is responsible for transporting vehicle back to Lee Trevino Transmission location'. I did ask the shop manager what I needed to do if I have more problems. He said "any shop in San Antonio should honor our warranty".
I was very nervous as I returned to San Antonio the next day. Diagnostic test in El Paso showed 4 codes to address. Two days after my return to San Antonio, new message on dashboard said, 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION NOW! I called El Paso and spoke to shop manager. He told me to "take to any transmission shop that I trusted". I told him I have never had transmission problems before. He told me to Google one. I did. Found one close by my house. Called my insurance and requested a tow. After 2nd shop did another diagnostic test, found that 4 codes that were worked on in EP, were never cleared. I had to pay an unnecessary fee for 2nd diagnostic. I continue to have issues related to that first 'Rebuilt Transmission' job in El Paso, the most recent two weeks ago. I called the shop manager again in El Paso as shop here in San Antonio needed to know if work here would be covered by warranty. I did text him that work on my car would begin as soon as he returned my call. I had to call again 4 days later as I felt my call was being ignored and was making excuses. He suggested I have the transmission removed and he would pay to have it shipped to EP so they could work on it there and ship it back.
Terrible customer service; Terrible quality; Terrible value. I have NEVER written a review like this before but, the cost of their work cost me almost $7000. He did not have to wait for their money. I did NOT deserve this treatment. I am originally from El Paso. I will NEVER recommend this business to any friends or family. read more
