I previously used them in the past for a broken shifter cable. From that inital experience, we could have easily been taken advantage of and been told it was a bad transmission, but their transparency and and honesty is what brought me back. For this transmission rebuild, they called us for every step during the diagnosis, removal, repair, and replacement process. They even requested for me to come to the shop and view the components that went bad. I was not able to make it, so they sent detailed pictures with a phone call afterwards with a detailed explanation of what I was looking at, why it failed, including options for repair. As a "motorhead" myself, everything he described in detail was concise, accurate, and no misleading information was given. My wife and I could not ask for any more. For your transmission needs, please consider this organization to take care of you. Oh, they even washed our vehicle for both repairs and placed several paper mats not to get any grease or grime in the interior of our vehicle (it's the small things that make a difference. That pride for their customers goes a long way! Although we were not expecting to spend this kind of money during the holidays, the experience was positive and we are back on the road with no car note, lol. I'd like to give the service advisor "Tony" for his professionalism and patience, and the owner for approaching me to make sure we have been taken care of. Hands down, best transmission shop in SATX. #Trust #Transparency #CustomerService

I told them I live in Austin and didn't know whether I'd be a return customer. Didn't care. Still no charge. And the garage itself? Clean, well-maintained, well-lighted.

I love having transmission problems... Said no one ever…read more After 89,000 miles, the 6L80 transmission in my 2017 Suburban decided to say "Bye Felicia." Since transmission problems were unchartered territory for myself here in New Braunfels, I did not have the first clue where to take our high maintenance pavement princess. Not knowing any better, and against my better judgement, I had my Suburban towed to the local Chevrolet dealer. After receiving a quote higher than Willie Nelson, some friends of ours recommended Brinkkoeter Transmissions. With nothing to lose, other than another tow bill, I called the tow truck and had her towed to Brinkkoeter. Just after a couple days, and our wallet a little lighter, our baby was back on the road again. Backed by a guarantee better than the factory with a 3 year/100,000 warranty. Doyle also informed us that the dealer had probably neglected to tell us that our particular transmission had undergone 6 software updates that GM had failed to notify us about. This probably will be the last GM product I ever buy, but I digress.... The customer service was top notch, the communication was great, and the overall experience was great. They also saved us a lot of money compared to the dealership. While I hope I never have to use Brinkkoeter ever again, I highly recommend anyone who needs transmission work. They made my pain a little more bearable, and had me back on the road again quick. Apparently this place has been around a while and I had never heard of them until now. Enjoy!

I was a little frustrated the first time I went in - I didn't understand the system. They did a diagnostic check, which took about 90 minutes. They identified several problems with my truck. I assumed that they would have repaired what I took it in for. I had to schedule another appointment for the actual repair. This was a misunderstanding on my part, so I don't fault them - I was just expecting the repair to be done on my initial visit.
