Barely made it there before it got flat, but I did. They checked it out, plugged it, and filled the air back up in the tire. They didn't charge me for the temporary repair, which was really kind of them. Was able to get my tires replaced a few weeks later somewhere else and the plug had no problems until then. Another time I came to get my car serviced, and that also was pretty quick and also went well! Forget how much it was but it was pretty standard compared to other places. I would trust them with any and all of my car service needs!

He beats my cost expectations every time and I'm a cheap guy. Plus he's super nice.

Convincing Liars who turned a 4300 Transmisison Repair into a 10K nightmare…read more My transmission has intermittently not gone into 4th gear for years. Stopping and using the transmission control reset sequence worked to correct this until last summer so we took the Rialta to the mechanic at the top of the road who stated that we needed a new transmission. I looked for transmission rebuild shops and Dave's Transmission Warehouse quoted $3500 including a 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty. I took the vehicle in to have the transmission rebuilt in April. I told him I needed it no later than the end of June for a planned trip. After working on the transmission for several weeks, Dave stated that there was nothing wrong with the transmission, but something external. He said I was not allowed to drive the vehicle in 4th gear (above 40 mph), and that he would not honor the warranty until the external issues were corrected. On 5/3/18, I took the Rialta to Yire Automotive all under 40 mph, you can see the charge for 613.48. They corrected a wire that had been smashed when inserted into the transmission and that cleared all of the diagnosis except one which they stated was an internal transmission error. I took the Rialta back to Dave (all under 40 mph) who worked on it more, and stated that the internal transmission error was not internal. He said it was likely a wire harness issue or some other electrical problem. On 5/30, I took the Rialta to West Seattle Autoworks all under 40 mph. They inspected the vehicle and could find no external issues. They recommended taking it to KC Martin Transmission as they stated that the issue was in the transmission and they could not lift the RV. Since I could not drive it over 40 mph, I called AAA to have it towed to KC Martin Transmission. 6/29/18 KC Martin Transmission stated it was an internal issue as well and recommended taking it to the dealer for confirmation- 318.78. Campbell VW of Edmonds ran tests confirming beyond a shadow of doubt that it was an internal issue. I called Dave's Transmission Warehouse on 7/17 stating that multiple mechanics had stated it was internal. Aaron, the employee, said they would rebuild it again, but if it still had errors, they would want me to pay again. I found this unacceptable, as I have now spent over $1000 proving it was their issue (internal) since Yire fixed the electrical codes. Additionally, I had to rent an RV and a rental house since my RV was not fixed in time for summer plans. I no longer trust their work or their word. On 7/19/18, I was charged 738.29 for the additional diagnostic work, and called AAA to have the Rialta towed to Seatac Transmission who had to rebuild the transmission all over again confirming it was never done properly in the first place. My credit card company contacted them for a refund and they refused. They seem nice enough at first, but their work is shoddy and their warranty useless.

Since I didn't actually pay for work on my car, I won't give DTW Transmission five stars. With that…read moresaid, the reason I didn't pay for a new/rebuilt/used transmission was because Dave--the owner of DTW Transmission--counseled me against it. Yes, you read that right... Even though my car needed a new transmission, Dave turned away the business because he didn't believe the car would run much longer, and only be a source of heartache and continued spending. His advice: rid myself of the car and look for a different vehicle, which is exactly what I'm going to do. In sum, Dave is a knowledgeable, honest, clear, and thoughtful mechanic and person. Heck, after initially dropping my car off at DTW, Dave gave me a ride home. The guy is professional AND nice. If my next car has transmission issues, I'll definitely take it to Dave and DTW Transmission, and you should too!

I was not awayre of the ownership change at the time as it was not something I noticed in the business listing. I brought my car in for overheating issues. Shortly after dropping it off I received a written estimate by text, I got a call from service rep informing me that items had been left off the estimate and the cost would be higher. I declined some of the additional services but was told they were going to have to be replaced because of the problem (spark plugs, which inspection notes mention maintenance). The car was not ready as promised and took several days longer than quoted. On the final day, I was informed that additional parts had been ordered and work had started before I was contacted for approval. I was then asked to authorize the added costs. When I picked up the car, I was not given an itemized invoice separating charges and labor charges. After reviewing the invoice, I noticed the technician assigned to my car was different from the one listed on the original estimate. The original tech's inspection notes explicitly recommended replacing the coolant reservoir - which was not performed. My AC stopped working and started making a noise the same day I picked up the car. I followed up by email and text requesting clarification but have not received a response. I also looked at other public reviews for context including SureCritic and BBB Listings.
