They were amazing, kept me informed and explained everything to me. They were very honest people!! Would recommend for all transmission needs!! read more

Fast, efficient, professional and friendly. These folk do great work and warranty their work. Recently took my truck in because it was leaking transmission fluid. It was 11 days past warranty and they honored said warranty because the seal that broke shouldn't have broken. They got to it and out in less than 18 hours. Awesome place to do business. read more

A review for a mechanic is that last thing I thought I'd be writing, but I'm so overflowing with gratitude that I couldn't help it. I have an Acura 2001 TL that broke down on Storrow Drive on a Sunday. My car had had some difficulties starting up that freezing cold morning, yet it somehow made the 20 minute drive to the downtown area and didn't completely fail me until my drive back home from downtown. Luckily, with a couple rests in the shoulders, I was just barely able to make it to the Bernardi Acura of Boston dealership, a complete mess with my hazard lights flashing. I decided to have diagnostics run at Bernardi, but once the report was sent to me, my heart completely sunk. The dealership basically diagnosed my car with all systems failure and estimated repair costs totaling nearly $10k. As if that didn't hurt enough, they added insult to injury by including one item on my bill that just sent me over the top: "Bernardi Acura of Boston provided a complimentary wash and vacuum! Bernardi for now, Bernardi for life! $0.00" Bernardi my butt. It's like they weren't even trying to take this seriously. When I spoke to Bernardi about my diagnosis, they basically told me that my car was junk and that I might as well trade it in for a new car. Sure, to them it may just be better business, but it's actually more akin to lazy dishonest con artistry that strips any inkling of credibility they might have had in my eyes. Thank goodness I got a second opinion from Tony at A1 Automatic Transmissions, though! I figured my major issue was my transmission, so I had my car towed there and got it looked at the next day. Tony has to be one of those rare, breath-of-fresh-air car folks who exudes genuine honesty and integrity. My car only had about 120,000 miles on it, and I expected at least another 4 years out of it...while the dealership quite flippantly told me to trash it or donate it, Tony gave me his honest opinion and advocated more for the quality of the brand than even its own dealership. Tony even went through the list of problems on my diagnostics report and checked everything the dealership had said was wrong. He assured me that everything, save the transmission problem, was a gross exaggeration and that fixing the transmission would be enough to get my car up and running well again. I obviously didn't know much about cars, but he was very patient in going through the diagnostic problem list and explaining everything clearly to me, which made a world of difference. I had called a good number of other mechanics in the area, but only a few even work on transmissions, and you're unlikely to find a place that will fix it for $2k with a one year/12,000 mile warranty on parts and labor like what's guaranteed at A1 Automatic Transmissions. Some of the dealerships in the area will even send cars here to be fixed before they hike up the price to match the repair cost they'll provide to you as a quote. After the longest week and a half ever of ridiculously long commutes to work, I ran back to my baby, and he's been driving significantly more smoothly than he had been for the past 7 years since I've had him. It feels like I'm driving a totally new car, and I couldn't be more delighted! read more

A-1 Automatic Transmission Service - Just to provide an idea of everything that Bernardi said was wrong with my baby T___T - Transmission Repair Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Wonderful people, fast service. My daughter is a student at Texas Tech University. Her 2011 Cruz's transmission went out. Chevy Roadside towed her car to a local dealership where it sat for two weeks. I called A1 and they had the car towed to their shop. Within 3 business days, her transmission was replaced and she was back on the road. A1 Transmission not only fixed her car, but kept in contact with me to let me know what was happening and how it was going. I highly recommend this shop for transmission repairs. Their estimate and the final cost was spot on. My daughter needed to travel from Lubbock to the DFW area for the Thanksgiving break, having had the problem with her transmission she was nervous about the drive. Questioning every sound or feel of her car. I called A1 and they had her bring her car back and they talked with her, drove her car with her and answered all her questions and explained all the sounds and "feels" of her car. I can't praise this company enough. They took the time to make sure that she was comfortable with the drive in her car. Thank you to A1 Transmission for your kindness and understanding. read more

I had recently bought a used car, and to my surprise, one month in-my reverse gear goes out. It was a 1999 Ford Explorer with 126,000 miles. I called around to a few places to get some quick estimates (high-low based on what it could be). Tony from A-1 said he could get me and and gave me a very reasonable price. I brought it in, mostly because he was right around the corner from where I lived. I am completely happy that I stumbled upon this shop. Tony was very thorough in explaining what was wrong with the transmission and reverse in particular. Parts and labor came out to a little above what he quoted me, but he stayed true and only charged me the price as it was quoted. Long story short, this guy was a pleasure to work with and now it's been close to 4 years and 45,000 miles. I drove this vehicle absolutely packed with all my possessions across the country and have not had a single slip or any problems. What more could I ask for? read more

Tony is the best transmission repair tech in Greater Boston, if you ask me. I know this is a big statement to make, but I can do this with some authority, because I own and operate a commercial fleet and have been through thick and thin when it comes to transmission issues. So far I have been to A1 Transmission repair twice, and both times the results exceeded my expectations. In one instance a transmission was completely (and properly) rebuilt. In another, solenoid pack was replaced, whereas most transmission places would insist on a rebuild. The pricing is fair and the job is done right, the way it should be. A+++ read more

brought my truck in when a transmission line blew off all they did was reattach the refill the transmission with fluid and clear the fault code. they charged me $240 and said I needed to take the truck to another shop to get it repaired right. read more

Without a doubt the most honest and dependable man around, who does excellent work at the best price Ive found.
