The first time I bought my vehicle in he saved my butt. Whoever checked my transmission fluid at my last oil change didn't put the plug back in. My transmission was about to be destroyed. Jeff put fluid in. The next day I picked up a plug at the dealership and Jeff promptly put it in and gave me an extra quart of fluid. He barely charged me. I HIGHLY recommend Champion Transmission.

CRC Transmissions

My 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 Diesel Duramax 6.6 HD, 4-Wheel drive, went into check engine warning…read morelight mode. Never a good thing! The warning messages displayed included 1. Service Stabilitrak 2. Service Traction Control 3. Park Assist Off. The truck went into drive safety mode which means lower MPH to prevent any further possible damage to the warning light mechanical issue. After getting home safely, I plugged in my OBD II (On Board Diagnostics) code reader to the OBD II unit on the truck. I did not get a message telling me what the issue was. This was unusual since I always get the code identifying the mevhanical problem. I took my truck into the local Chevy dealership service center as I have always taken my vehicle there since it was purchased at this dealership brand new. Long story on this, I was told by the service advisor that the Allison transmission was the issue and had to be replaced with a new one. Needless to say a very costly issue in the $12,000 plus bend over repair cost. After some agonizing thought and puzzlement I decided to get on Yelp and make some calls to pursue a second opinion. Long story on this was finding CRC Transmissions and their positive Yelp reviews. I called and spoke with Todd likely close to the day's closing time. Todd was gracious enough to offer some takes and opinion on the apparent and possible issue/s. The next day I received a call from his wife Lori for an update on my matter. This discussion with her of the likely mechanical issues and repairs, along with her genuine knowledge and expertise sealed the deal for me to tow my truck from the Chevy dealership to their shop for their look and second opinion. From my initial phone contacts to tow drop off of my truck to being kept in the progress loop was just amazing! In this day in age it's not that often to find business folks who are honest, genuine and sincere. This business people is not 5 star but rather 10 star. Todd and his mechanics almost immediately determined that the problem was not the transmission. The issue was identified as the Transmission Control Module (transmission computer unit) and not the Allison transmission (reputable work horse of tranny's). All I can say is wow, wow, wow! I can't say enough about Todd, his mechanics and his special wife Lori at CRC Transmissions. I felt so comfortable and confident that I also agreed to additional preventive mechanical work. Bottom line, CRC Transmissions honest work saved me about $10K. You have a new customer and I will be referring you all to family and friends. I highly recommend CRC Transmissions

I brought three of my vehicles to his shop, and in two cases I spent a significant amount of money without getting proper results. On my Honda Pilot, the engine mounts were replaced, about a year later I was told it was the same issue again and that there was no warranty. I don't drive the vehicle excessively, so this raised a serious concern for me. The bigger issue was with my Ford Transit. I took it in three separate times for the same problems, a coolant leak, AC not working, and noticeable vibrations. Across those visits, I paid over $3,000, yet none of the issues were resolved. In the end, I had to take it to the dealership, where they properly diagnosed the problem, costing me an additional $2,500. It's disappointing to lose trust in a service I relied on for so many years. I hope they improve their quality and accountability moving forward.

AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care

BEWARE! Marco will try everything to wiggle out of a warranty…read more A year ago I broke down on the freeway with an entirely failed clutch. I was towed to this AAMCO location and Marco fixed the clutch. He told me it would be "different", whatever that was supposed to mean. Different it was. Within a few months, it became almost impossible to get into second gear. Eventually, I couldn't get into reverse or first, either. So I bring it back for the warranty work. Marco actually TOLD me that he was literally looking for anything OTHER than the clutch work he had done before. "It's so small in those cars, I really don't want to open up the clutch unless I have to." It took him THREE WEEKS of trying all other possibilities before FINALLY breaking down and fixing his work. I will commend Marco for finally honoring the warranty and not charging me for all the exploratory work he did trying to avoid honoring the warranty. When I finally picked up my baby, Marco cryptically reported: "If anything is going to go wrong, it will happen in the next 100 miles." well, if that doesn't sound like he set something up to fail? No surprise, within a week the starter began to fail. Well, I'm not going back to Marco, so I go to an honest mechanic, who found the problem IMMEDIATELY. "It was a loose wire, the first thing we saw when we put it up, it was obvious."

I was grateful that I came here because I had been worried that something disastrous was wrong with my car, but it was simple enough to fix, and I was able to leave safely.

These guys are the best . Fair prices, thoughtful diagnosis and service. And HONEST! They accidentally broke a part in my car and fessed up by phone immediately. They also did not charge me a penny for a follow up check 2 weeks after my repair, and threw in a freebie check for an oil leak, not related to the original repair. I dropped off my car, and 3 hours later they said it's done, come pick it up. When I went in, Mark handed me my key. No paperwork. I'm not saying expect freebies, but I believe anyone that goes there would receive the same stellar treatment I got. Ten out of five stars. read more

Great, honest and fast service.
