I was desperately searching for a good transmission specialist for the past couple days... I own a German car and they are different in too many ways compared to your average Japanese and American cars: they are notoriously harder to work on which also makes labor/parts expensive. I needed to find someone who was familiar with German transmissions and transmissions in general to fix the problem that I had. I live in the suburbs and I couldn't find anyone that I trusted out here in the burbs and I began to panic. The next day, I was extremely stressed out and wanted to get my trans fixed.... I began searching again for transmission specialists... By the grace of God I stumbled upon Chicago Transcraft. I called him up (I forgot his name, sorry... I think it was Mike based off the other reviews) and Mike really calmed me down and instilled some confidence in me regarding the transmission. He told me to bring it in and he will take a look. I informed him that I live an hour away and I didn't want to mess with his schedules but he invited me over anyway. I went over with my transmission and he was very inviting and hospitable. He was able to check what was wrong with my transmission and he fixed the problem in no time!! Thanks Mike!!! Not only that but he went over the transmission with me ensuring that it was working properly. He was genuinely curious as to what was wrong with it and was very driven to solve the problem. Mike is very courteous, knowledgable, hardworking, intelligent, and extremely professional. He is very honest with his work and his pricing is very fair. I saw him work personally and he is very responsible. There aren't a lot of people with his honesty, generosity, courtesy, and knowledge this left in the world and more so mechanics nor transmission specialists (which are even more rare) just read the other reviews from other shops. Really cool guy. I would go to him again in a heartbeat without thinking twice if I had transmission troubles, but I hope that do not!! However, I would highly recommend you going to Transcraft in Chicago for your transmission needs - even if it is an hour drive. The service and results are worth the travel. read more
