I am truly grateful for the service I got from Bryan's. He rebuilt my tranny and it has never shifted as good. Even the day I bought it has never run as well. Joey was extremely nice. He was done in a timely manner. He even put gas because it was low. When I went to pick it up, it was lower than price quoted. The quality and value was more was through the roof. His quality team of experts were nice and knowledgeable. I would recommend over any transmission service. I will only use Bryan's for any further service and repair. Thank you Joey! read more

It's been a while since i took my Dodge Dakota there but man oh man! I will never do business with them again or recommend them to anyone. long story short.... 4 trips, 8 months and nothing but lies! my truck never got fixed and dude had the audacity to get mad at me because he had to put gas in my truck BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING IT HOME EVERYDAY AND TAKING HIS KID TO SCHOOL! This place is a joke and a bunch of crooks! read more

TLDR; if I lived in this area I would certainly trust Joey and his team with the maintenance of my vehicle. After a series of unfortunate events, I found my transmission completely blown halfway through a road trip. I luckily ended up on the same exit as Bryan's transmission. I first stopped into a nearby AutoZone and they told me I was in dire straits, so they pointed me towards Bryan's. I am so grateful that they did. As soon as I showed up in the office I was greeted by a lovely lady and I explain to her my situation. I spoke briefly with the owner's cousin as we talked about the make and model of my car and the symptoms that I had experienced. They were very understanding and concerned and were ready to help right away. They called up Joey who is the owner to take a look. There were plenty of cars that were getting serviced already and it was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon - presumably the worst time to present with a new car requesting new services. Typically you have to get to shops first thing in the morning to ensure that your car gets on the rotation, so I was super grateful when he offered to take a look 15 minutes after we initially arrive. With the information that I had from the AutoZone, he took a look and ran the codes again and let me know that my transmission was dunzo. My dad was running as the point man from back home in Atlanta since cars aren't really my thing. He told my dad everything that was going on with my car made some some suggestions and we were able to come up with a plan of action. All of that to say I didn't receive any services but I did get a free consultation from the friendly folks at Bryan's. I really appreciated their help in what could've been a super stressful situation. They helped me diagnose and make a plan of action that made the most sense for my situation. I would definitely return here for services from this trustworthy mechanic. read more

joey has to be the worst business owner, this place shouldn't even be open. transmission has been rebuilt 3 times and the transmission maybe has 4k miles all day put togethe. the last time it was there I drove from the shop to my house about 25 miles, took the pan of to fix the leak he couldn't fix but still charged me for and there is medal all in the pan. I would rather my truck rot than go back to this place read more

My car was shut off due to what appeared to be a discrepancy with the dealer (note was paid but receipt was never emailed for me to esign and their system showed as not being paid) so by the time I had it towed to Bryan's I had the realization that's what the problem was, had them email the receipt and not even 5 min after my car started working again...I just want to point out the integrity they showed because they could have easily lied or tried to get money for something else...not to mention their garage was super full and busy and they moved some cars around to get mine in so they could let me know what was wrong and not leave me waiting...side note and irrelevant to the post but the dealership claimed it must have been a glitch because I called and complained (I missed the 2nd part of my first day at a new job due to car not starting and never had the problem before or since ) read more

Crooks. I left my vehicle here for a major engine repair after my car broke down and I had to leave it and return to Florida ..... For the 2 weeks my car was there, they robbed it clean. Anything that was in my vehicle was gone. All my CDs, some DVD's, tools, pocket knife, tire gauge,.. the Nissan First Aid Kit that went in the tailgate was stolen.. they even stole all the bungee cords that were stashed in a small compartment in the back .....and a case of Water bottles. Who knows what else is gone...everyday I realize something new is missing. Anything they could get their hands on, they stole from my vehicle. They even "lost" the catalytic converter from my vehicle during the repair and stiffed me to have to buy a new one. ($558). When I spoke with them regarding the thefts ... their only response was "we can't control what happens in our lot at night." read more

First thing, the place is named for the former owner, NOT the current operator. Wayne Bryan was a top-notch business owner whose name and reputation is beyond gold in my book. He retired, sold the place to Joey. Do not, for any reason, let this new clown or his idiots touch your vehicle, or than of anybody for whom you care. I found myself in a bad situation and they ended up with my car (a Subaru 5-speed manual). Joey somehow ended up with a printed copy of an email I'd sent to my dad (friends with Wayne), which listed some of the reasons I don't trust some mechanics. So he knew about my pet peeves about, you know, putting the right bolt in the right hole, etc etc. Anyway, when he got the car, I also told him specifically do NOT touch the brakes; I knew it needed new pads up front but since my clutch was slipping I didn't put them on yet, that was something I'd do when I got the car back. So he installed a clutch. And he installed new front brake rotors (the ones on the car were the stock rotors, which I had removed from the car at about 5k miles on the odo, but had just put back on the car THE DAY I TOOK IT TO JOEY because I'd worn out the others I had installed). Unfortunately for me, he installed the wrong rotors. So within about 4 months the new pads he also installed had destroyed themselves (as they do when the rotor is about a centimeter too small in diameter), so I realized the issue and had to replace it all. Interestingly he had also said my (perfectly functioning, non leaking) calipers were bad as well, so he had put some new black spray painted ones on there. Were they really new or did they just spraypaint my old ones? I can't honestly say, but I can say whoever did the pad installation at this place is terrible and had completely ruined the seals on one of those "new" calipers, so I had to replace that as well. Seals looked really old, as if they'd been on my 10 year old car about 10 years, but had been abused by an idiot. But hey, who am I to say? About that whole "don't put the wrong bolt in the wrong place thing", well, yeah, heheh that's funny. Cross-threaded one bolt going into the bell housing, one of the ones that secures the starter. I guess they did that because there is a short one and a long one. They put them in backwards. Which means they used a set of about 10 washers to make up the difference on one of the bolts since it can't go in that far. Yeah, that caused weird issues starting the car since it was the bolt also used for engine ground. Stacking washers in an electrical circuit can cause capacitance, which effectively blocks DC current. But I wouldn't expect Joey and his fellow mouth breathers to understand things like that. Once I found that stack, I started to get mad. More mad than when I realized he'd just painted my old calipers black and needlessly installed too-small rotors on my car (which is DANGEROUS). But hey, I live in Atlanta, and he's in Alabama, and I'm not a violent guy. Luckily for both of us I can laugh and just share the truth about this idiot/charlatan/crook. So obviously the clutch he installed quit working after about 5000 miles. Think I'm taking it back? Oh, no... so I had a new one installed elsewhere. For reasons that I can't honestly point back to this lousy business, my transmission had by this point started making bad noises, so I had a new one installed. They said my clutch was ok. A few weeks later it started slipping. I replaced it. About 5k more miles later, new one is slipping. What, do clutches now only last 5k miles? So again I take matters into my own hands and realize the clutch slave cylinder is wrong. WHERE DID A WRONG SLAVE CYLINDER COME FROM? I think I know, but I can't prove it. So let's not blame Joey at Bryan's for this. But boy does it look fishy to me... Sorry for the rant. TL;DR; No, do not take your car to this establishment, nor should you let them touch vehicles belonging to anyone about whom you care. read more

I was referred to take my truck to Bryan s Transmission my my regular mechanic for a problem with my truck to large for him to repair. Since then I have been a regular with all of my vehicles. They have been honest, and affordable. I have been extremely pleased with the work and the fact that they have always found the problem and not performed service that did not need to be done. I will always take take my vehicles there and trust there judgement. read more

On my way down to Bay Minette from Virginia my car's transmission blew up on me and left me stranded three hours from my destination. My vehicle got towed to this shop through my insurance, which turned out to be a godsend. I was moving down to Pensacola and leaving to visit Alaska in a few days and didn't have time to deal with the car which was not worth repairing. The owner, Joey, took great care of me. They took pictures of the car got bids and sold it for me, sent me the check, and didn't charge me a dime. I told him I needed to pay something and he refused. GREAT small town service! read more

Bryan's transmission has worked on several vehicles for me and I have never had any problems out of them. They were always willing to work with me to get my vehicles fixed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone .... read more
