Even speaking on their work if we have any issues when we get back home to give him a call. Highly recommend!

Overpriced, dishonest, late and shoddy work…read more We had the misfortune of having a car break down on a Saturday, transmission, and they were the only place open that was within distance. It took them a week longer to get the work done than we were originally told. Once they finally installed the transmission, we were told that it came with a faulty sensor, and that they would have to get the part from Honda. They then charged us for the faulty sensor that came with the transmission -- almost $300. The initial quote for a new transmission was $10,000 parts and labor. They said that they could get a certified, refurbished one and drop the price to closer to $8,000. We chose to go with the certified refurbished transmission (while we were waiting for the work to be done, 4 hours after we showed up -- and it was still the next day before they finished it -- the manager was talking to us and saying that a brand new transmission for the car would have been $16,000 -- even though 2 weeks before he had quoted us $10,000). The final bill, with the other things they added on, was $9,700 (which turns out to be significantly more than what we were told and more than other shops would charge). They also told us a list of things that needed to be dealt with that were problems with the car. I was curious simply because I heard three other customers being told that they had similar issues that needed to be dealt with. Driving the car the next day, there was a weird squeaking sound. We took it to another shop to see if they could diagnose the problem -- a number of the bolts holding the transmission were loose! They tightened them up and the sound disappeared. Not only was the work very late and overpriced, it was shoddy. We also asked this shop to check the other issues that Saul's Autotek had said were issues that needed to be addressed, and we were told that those "issues" were fine.

We were sending her out of state to college so needed the reassurance that the car would be reliable and safe. When we heard the business was under new ownership, we weren't sure what to expect. I was incredibly impressed by the expertise and troubleshooting diligence exhibited by Kermit and the team at SHA. As a female, I usually hate speaking with auto shops because you either get dismissed or talked down to. Quite the contrary! Kermit walked me through the issue, was transparent along the way, showed me photos to review the work that had been done, and exhibited excellent customer service. Their pricing was fair, the car is fixed and I feel relieved that my daughter's car is back on the road. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Their diagnosis was that the front differential needed to be replaced at a cost of $3300.00. I wanted to get a second opinion so I contacted Greg's Auto in Parker, transmission work is one of the few items they do not work on but they referred me to Kimmer Transmission. I took my truck in to Kimmer for a diagnosis. I was informed when I scheduled the appointment that I would need to leave my vehicle for a couple of days due to their volume of work already scheduled. When I arrived and walked through the shop to the office I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the shop, the organization of the mechanics work areas and the amount of vehicles they had in line. This immediately showed me the attention to detail the owner requires, which typically translates to the work ethic of the mechanics as well. I was informed that the issue with my truck was not the differential but the transfer case, and that the front differential was in good working order. I authorized the work for my vehicle with Kimmer. It did take a few days to complete but that was due to a delay in the parts needed for my repair work. If not for that delay I would have gotten my vehicle back in a couple of days. The final cost for the parts and labor was $2300.00. I am guessing if I would have gone with the original shop they would have charged me for the differential and the transfer case. I HIGHLY recommend Kimmer Transmission and Gear for al of your transmission work. They are professional, honest, and fair with their pricing. All very important items for vehicle maintenance work.

This company's work reflects its values…read more An inspection revealed we had several major repairs needed on an old, old vehicle. They allowed us time to decide if it was worth fixing and were creative about getting the costs to something more affordable but ultimately I agreed to have all but one item fixed. Their willingness to work with me on it really sealed the deal. I never felt pressured one way or the other and researched the prices of each repair item and they were market value. I really appreciated that I wasn't given grief for wanting to fix this old beauty instead of calling it quits and also appreciated their confidence in doing this amount of work to make it like new. Most importantly, the repairs were done right without gimmick and they're under warranty! This Christian Brothers Automotive is thorough and the final cost was reasonable compared to the quote (slight increase from what looks like parts being a tad more than anticipated). The initial inspection was awesome too, they have pictures for everything and tell you what's good, not just bad. The whole process was really smooth and simple compared to how big of a decision the repairs really were. Very professional and quick. I'm very thankful and will come back/recommend to others.

After my daughter taking her car in for an oil change, they called her to say she needed multiple thousands of dollars of work - ok. She ask them to wait far a few minutes till she Spoke with me. within 15mins we chatted and listed what they recommended. I calls them back and talks to Tim (Nice guy), and said we would not be doing anything but the oil change for now. Later my daughter picked up her car and the bill was 530$~!! i found out later in the day and called to see why it was so high for an oil change (albeit full synthetic). They said they were performing a "special service" that was recommended and that I included a list of things not asked for and I'm my conversation with Tim - not mentioned. I expressly requested an oil change only for the time being, till we'd had time to explore what she would elect to do maybe sooner or later. The issue is this, they didn't communicate to me in the phone call, what all they would be doing (other than the oil change). They then do what i can only assume is taking advantage of a young woman's naivety (?) and do what I'd consider stuffing the bill to up the list of work. Needless to say, their practice in this matter is very unfortunate - and after so many years of good service I will no longer be using their services. Buyer beware.

Kimmer tried to clear the codes before I bought the truck and agreed with the seller to transfer the warranty work over to the new owner because the service was done to the truck specifically to sell the car. When the error code got thrown again I called kimmer transmission to schedule an appointment to have them check it out since I was driving down from boulder 50 miles away. I arrived 15 minutes early and was the first customer in the door that day. Kimmer asked for my keys then asked if I had a ride since they may not even get to it that day. This was a surprise, since when I scheduled the appointment, I specifically stated that I was supposed to be leaving for Wisconsin that day and wanted to try and take care of this issue before doing so. I said I did not have a ride but had no problem waiting. Kimmer tried suggesting a nearby restaurant but I told them I already had breakfast. They tried to get me to go the shop next door because "it was more comfortable" but I said I was fine working on my phone in their waiting area. After seeing they weren't going to get rid of me they reluctantly ran a scan tool on the truck, which takes about 2 minutes, also which I had already had done in boulder to try to save myself the trip. Kimmer came back and told me that the car cannot communicate with the part THAT THEY INSTALLED!!! WHICH IS EXACTLY THE REASON I DROVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HAVE THEM FIGURE OUT WHY! It was clear that kimmer was not going to make any effort whatsoever to resolve the issue. Never even put it on a lift to look. It is apparent that they have little to no follow up service on jobs that they clearly did not do correctly in the first place. I would not recommend kimmer transmission and gear to anyone looking for any transmission/drive train work. The only thing nice about the shop was the shop dog.
