Normally I'm not one to leave reviews, and this is actually my first time ever posting one on Yelp…read more-- but I HAD to share our experience because integrity like this is rare nowadays. My husband and I had been dealing with a persistent noise during deceleration in our 2011 Toyota Camry for over a year. We took it to several shops, spent a few thousand dollars fixing "issues" that turned out to be unrelated, and still had the same problem. We eventually figured out it was coming from the transmission -- yikes! We went to another transmission shop (which I won't name), and after multiple visits and some shady back-and-forth, they quoted us $9,500 for a replacement transmission and wanted $6,000 down just to order it. Weeks later, they claimed the transmission was "lost in shipping" and offered to rebuild it for nearly the same price. Something just didn't sit right with us. That's when I decided to call around, and Certified Transmission Differential was the first shop that actually answered. I spoke directly with the owner, Tracy, and explained everything. Even after hearing what I was quoted elsewhere, he stayed honest -- no upselling, no games. He quoted me $4,500 for the rebuild, less than half of what I was about to pay! From start to finish, Tracy went above and beyond. He opened early so we could drop the car off before work, kept us informed every step of the way, and even showed my husband the damaged parts he replaced. He was incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and fair -- even buying another transmission just to get a rare part without charging us extra. In a world where so many businesses overcharge or take advantage of people, Tracy and his team restored our faith in what honest work looks like. Our Camry drives beautifully now, and we finally feel peace of mind knowing the job was done right. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and fair mechanic, go to Certified Transmission Differential. Tracy has absolutely earned our trust and our future business -- I can't recommend this shop enough!

Either way, with over 200k miles on it, it was going to be (hopefully) less expensive to swap the engine. I called around and Rockys miraculously said they had a used engine that just came in, and they could work on it later in the week. Unfortunately, if turned out that the engine wasn't exactly compatible. To try to make a very long story short, I ended up leaving my truck there for almost 2 months. I had to order am engine from the mainland that took 1 month to arrive. Once it did, they worked on it right away, and it was done within a week. They did have to change out several items from it, for to is age, but I finally got it back, and it's working great. The overall cost was a bit higher than expected, but it is what it is. The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is for to the fact that they didn't realize that they didn't have a compatible engine in the beginning, so I wasted 3 weeks, and spent over $600 in car rental fees, before finding out they didn't have a compatible one, and I needed to order an engine. At least the work is done, my truck is running great, and they were very responsive the entire time. They do great work.

I drive an older solid Toyota and with age, small details come up. As I was parking, my stick shift went completely "buttery loose " and it wasn't taking the command to Park, Reverse, or Drive. As a female that don't know much about cars, I COMPLETELY PANICKED! I called Rocky to see if he could help me and he knew what the issue was right away. The shifter bushing piece had broke. He was so reassuring and made me feel at ease! It was like talking to my dad or my Pops, and out of the sudden my problems and worries were gone. He told me not to worry and that it will be fixed by the end of the day. I had my car towed to his shop and it was literally resolved within less than two hours. His and his team sense of urgency saved me so much time and money, avoiding me to spend any extra cost in a car rental and such. He was so nice and professional, I will never hesitate to contact him again for his services and refer alllllll my friends and ohana to his shop. Thank you immensely Rocky!! You are the best!

It started acting up in the fall and when I took the car back they ran their "$30,000" computer diagnostics and said nothing was wrong. After weird clunking sounds, slippages and almost plowing into the rear end of another vehicle with two feet on the brakes while waiting at a stop light (car shot forward on it's own), they finally admitted something was wrong. That was early December. Got the car back, drove it a couple times and the transmission warning light comes on. Back to Le's who says there was a fluid leak. Got it back a few weeks later, drove it a couple of times again and the transmission light comes on yet again and it's slipping again. Took it back yet again and it's been another couple of weeks and we're still waiting. Sigh! Update 2: We eventually got the car back and it was missing some of it's exterior trim. We don't know where it happened, at Le's or the general mechanic's shop but the excuse we got was "Oh, it must have fallen off while driving the car around." SMH
