(After dealing with another goof ball in Santa Rosa) My experience with this team was nothing but Excellent! I am an extremely picky person and a perfectionist... And I am completely satisfied! Old school values put to use very well. (Very impressive) I feel I paid a fair price for all the work done on my 2000 Toyota 4 runner Supercharged (5 speed Manual Transmission). This team is the best of the best! I would like to name the unprofessional idiots in Santa Rosa but I will refrain at this time. I will tell everyone and my friends to take their vehicles to Rohnert Park Transmission. And for the folks I don't like.... I will send them to the other goof balls. Thanks again to Fernando and his professional team! It was nice working with you!

From the moment I walked into SRT, I felt welcomed. Everything was explained thoroughly and patiently, without ever talking down to me. As a 74-year-old woman who is still learning the ins and outs of vehicle care, that meant a lot. They discovered my rear brakes were almost metal-to-metal -- something I'm very grateful they caught. I also appreciated that they're part of Carfax, so they were able to review the full service history of my 12-year-old Honda with me. Their shuttle service was convenient, and when I received my bill, it included detailed photos along with clear explanations of the work performed. I left feeling informed, respected, and confident in their work. Highly recommend!

I have been taking our two cars to Bowen's for many years now. We have been happy with their work…read more They always advise us when finding a problem but never pressure us on getting the additional work completed. My old vehicle had an oil leak on a gasket. It leaked even after the repair. Travis took the car back 3 times at no charge to fix the stubborn issue. We will continue to come here for all our auto repair needs. I find the prices are much better on most repairs than the dealership. Hopefully you will do tire repairs in the future! Thanks again. John

I trusted them on their diagnosis. So, flash forward to 2025.... today, I was driving down #StoneyPoint Road, and this dude in a White Nissan Van pulls to the right, into the bike lane.... and then makes an amazing left U-Turn in front of me. OMFG! I have never - NEVER ever hit the breaks and horn So hard!! And when he looked out his window at me, he never as much as acknowledged me. Screeching, tire smoke and noise later, he kept going. I am SO grateful that the team at TriStar Automotive helped me with the breaks on our car. Because I seriously see our car getting totaled because of this d-head.

DISHONEST THIEVES! DO NOT USE THIS FAMILY RUN BUSINESS! They stole $6000 from me and did not fix…read moremy van! I took my van in to have the transmission fixed August 8, 2025. It was shuddering, and the check engine light was coming on. I was notified it was "fixed" about a week later. I paid $6000 and took the van. It was still doing the same shuddering and check engine light coming on. I told Dylan and he said, "oh it will just go away when you drive it more". A lie. Any mechanic knows things just don't "go away". It went back to the shop to be "fixed". About 2 weeks later it was returned and I was told its "fixed". I drove the van to Lake Tahoe and it was shuddering and dong the same thing as when I brought it in the very first time, not fixed! After a week in Tahoe they reluctantly came and drove it back to Santa Rosa. This back and forth went on for about 2 1/2 months. I paid $6000 and the van is still operating the exact same way it did when I brought it in August 8th. I called the Bureau of Automotive Repair and they went to the shop and verified the van is not fixed and told the owner, Dylan, to return my van AND my $6000, (per my request) because the job was NOT done. Dylan said he will return the van on October 31st, but refused to return my money. When the Bureau of Automotive Repair tells a shop owner to return money because they didn't perform the service that was paid for, you know that business is corrupt and needs to be shut down. It is October 29, 2005 and I asked for the van back and my $6000 I paid 2 months ago, because the van runs exactly the same as when I brought it in, it's NOT fixed. I spent over $7000 on hotels because I do not live in Santa Rosa, as well as lost work, as well as an unbelievable amount of stress. Aside from not fixing the van, I had to constantly call the shop to get updates, they rarely called me to update me as to what is going on. Its like they put the van in the back and didn't care to fix it because they already had my money! Meanwhile my hotel bills were piling up. Vaughan's Transmission and Auto Repair took my $6000 and didn't fix the problem I hired them to fix. THAT IS THEFT! DISHONEST FAMILY, DISHONEST BUSINESS! I will be suing for damages, unreasonable time for hotel costs, as well as loss of work because of this incompetent business. DO NOT USE THESE INCOMPETENT PEOPLE! Feel free to contact me me for more.

When I received the car i complained that it shifted sluggish and could not tell shift kit was installed. Within a year the torque converter failed. Took it back and they serviced and replaced the torque converter. This car had less than 2500 miles on rebuilt tranny and engine. I drove it to my new home in San Tan Valley Az, 770 miles. Two days later 15 months after SR Hydramatic had serviced and replaced torque converter it failed again. Steve the shop owner insisted someone had messed with the throttle cable adjustment which he insisted was the cause of the first failed torque converter. NO ONE HAD TOUCHED THE THROTTLE CABLE AND STEVE REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT AS HIS BAD REBUILD I took the car to a shop in Queen Creek Az with reputable trained technicians, i asked them to examine the tranny. The torque converter failed was literally fried as well as the bands and bushings. THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE FAILED TRANSMISSION WAS DUE TO SR HYDRAMATIC INSTALLED AN UNDERSIZED PUMP WHICH WAS DESIGNED FOR A 6 CYLINDER ENGINED. THIS CAUSED EXCESSIVE HEAT WHICH FRIED THE TRANNY I HAD CALLED STEVE SEVERAL TIMES AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR HIM TO CALL ME SO I COULD TELL HIM WHY TRANNY FAILED. HE WOULD NOT ACCEPT MY CALLS OR CALL ME BACK SR HYDRAMATIC DOES NOT REBUILD TRANSMISSIONS ACCORDINGLY TO SPECIFICATIONS.

Visit #1) Skid plate disconnection: My skid plate came loose underneath my car, so I called around for estimates. One shop quoted me nearly double what Ultimate charged, and the team at Ultimate got the job done quickly. Visit #2) Transmission fluid flush and fill: In 2021, I had this same service done elsewhere and paid significantly more. When Ultimate quoted me their price, I honestly thought there had been a mistake. Ultimate's tech took the time to walk me through exactly what was included so I fully understood what I was paying for. Justin and his team were incredibly patient with all of my questions. As a woman, it can sometimes feel intimidating walking into an auto shop, but the team here has made it clear that their goal is to educate, not take advantage.
