The transmission on my son's 27-year-old car died. We had it towed to Certified Transmission. Aaron carefully explained what needed to be done without any hype or sales pressure! They replaced the transmission, and the car drives like a new car! Aaron also explained what other work needed to be done on the car, even though Certified Transmission did not do that kind of work and would not financially benefit them. I was impressed. Aaron cared. That quality is hard to find. I decided that I would have my transmission serviced to keep it working properly longer! Aaron took care of everything and explained what they had done. I HIGHLY recommend Certified Transmission! PLUS The nationwide warranty is valuable! read more

Aaron was honest and kept me well informed. They gave me a fair price compared to other shops for the service I requested. If I have any other problems, I will definitely return here. read more

I found Certified Transmission to be knowledgeable and professional. They gave straightforward advice and were extremely helpful.

Brought my Ford F150 in because it sounded like I was dragging a chain when it was in 2H. After an $89 diagnosis, they said I needed a new transfer case which would cost over $2,300. In shock, I asked Aaron if they could be wrong about the diagnosis and he said that he is 100% positive that they are correct and went on to explain why. I decided to call the place I bought it and they told me on the phone that based on the symptoms, they think that Certified is most likely wrong and if I bring it by, they would diagnosit it at no charge. A few hours later they called me and said it in fact wasn't the transfer case and the problem was something to do with the front right hub assembly and fixed it for $223. Wow! I almost needlessly spent over $2,300! Thank GOD I got a second opinion. Moral of the story is you better get a second opinion! read more

Aaron was fantastic very knowledgeable was able to identify the transmission issue. They worked with my warranty and kept me informed throughout the process. read more

Aaron and team at the Overland Park location were awesome from the time I picked up the phone until the time I picked up my truck!

I had a freak accident when I hit and dragged some construction debris under my car that had been left on a major roadway. It caused damage to the transmission cover which caused all the fluid to leak out of the transmission. My vehicle was rendered undrivable. I reached out to Certified Transmission. From the moment I walked through the door I knew these were people who cared about their customers. They arranged the tow, and my car was delivered to their shop that evening. They had my car repaired (thankfully, I did not need a new transmission), and ready to go within a week of when it was placed in their care. And the cost of repairs I thought was very reasonable. Aaron was so kind and genuinely compassionate about my situation. Certified goes above and beyond and does the work that is required to get your car running again. They will be my go-to repair people whenever I have a need to have my vehicle serviced. A big thank you for your stellar customer service! read more

See all

Aaron Lautt was very professional. After examination by the technical group, Aaron told me what the problem was and the cost. He also advised me to get a transmission service since the car is 21 years old and never been transmission serviced. I agreed and was given a cost. The car is performing great now. read more

Great service every time I've been here. Honest about repair and service needs. Timely and friendly service.

Oil spots were appearing on my driveway so I crawled under my Chevy Suburban to check it out. The underside of the transmission case was wet with oil. I checked the internet for local transmission repair shops and settled on Certified in spite of their $99 fee for an inspection! After waiting about an hour I was invited inside the shop area to view the underside of the vehicle. They pointed out that the front transmission seal is leaking. This would cost $1400 to repair. I decided to get a second opinion. Long story short, a second transmission shop identified my leak as a loose oil filter. They tightened the filter, cleaned up the oil, and took it for a test drive. Viola! No leak and no charge for their service. Just saved $1400. No thanks to Certified Transmission at 75 St and I-35 in Merriam Kansas. read more

I went there with a specific request for service, Anthony explained what he would do and we even picked inside the shop and he pointed out the 2 different machines the use and which one they would use for my vehicle, very satisfied with the quote work read more

Staff was unfriendly and rude. And apparently they don't write down any information when you call and make an appointment with them.

I am so thankful for Aaron and his crew at Certified Transmission! My car was having issues and they quickly got it in and taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or better customer service! read more

Excellent communication throughout the process, quality work from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone in the Kansas City area. read more

Did a very good job on my manual trans and made sure it was safe to drive it was sitting for 4 years . Runs like new I can say that since it is a 1997 I have had sice 1999 read more

The last thing I wanted to spend money on was a new transmission but Aaron at certified transmission made the decision easy. I felt informed and confident in the work they do and the warranty they provide. My Tahoe has a whole new life and running better than ever! I highly recommend using certified transmission if you find yourself in the same dilemma. read more

It stinks when you have to replace your transmission, but if you find yourself in that situation, this is a great place to go. Aaron was very responsive and appreciated the timeframe we were dealing with. He explained the process from beginning to end. Would recommend. read more

Up front, I have to say I didn't have work done at this shop. But I DID receive excellent customer service! My 15-year-old Honda was having transmission problems, and I called to ask if Certified Transmission could work on it. I spoke with Todd, who was extremely courteous and helpful. He took all the information on my car, down to the VIN, and contacted CT's headquarters to find out if they had the parts and tools for the job. A few hours later, he called me back and explained what he'd found out: the particular model of my car hadn't been made for very long, and so there is limited parts availability outside of dealerships and Honda itself. He said he'd be happy to work on my car, but in order to purchase parts he'd have to go through the dealership, which would increase the price for me. I thought that was very honest and forthright, to let me know that beforehand, so that I could make the most informed decision possible. I respect his candor and appreciate him sharing all the information he had. Based on my experience with Todd, I fully recommend Certified Transmission. Integrity is priceless! read more

excellent service,marcus is a great communicator,gives excellent advice as well as running a clean shop.

Certified Transmission is the place to take your vehicle for ALL transmission repairs. I was originally quoted 4 grand for an entirely new transmission system at another general mechanic shop. I then decided I needed a second opinion & made an appointment w/ Certified Transmission based on yelp & google reviews. My bill ended up being around $400 and my car is running great. Thank you to Scott & the transmission experts at Certified Transmission! read more

Parting with $3000 for a new transmission is difficult. That's why it's so great when you find someone professional and friendly and you almost feel good about giving them your money LOL my huge van transports a lot of children every day and I needed someone I could trust to switch out our transmission. These guys prove that you can be professional and friendly at the same time. We live half an hour away from the shop and they still loaned my husband a vehicle for two days. They followed up with a phone call to make sure everything was running smoothly and they even sent a note in the mail reminding us about our 15 day follow up. This business is very smart because they have made us happy and we have five kids who will all have cars that need fixing! We are loyal customers now. read more

Friendly staff, but I would absolutely not bring your vehicle here if you're in any kind of time crunch (or even expect it to be completed in the quoted time). I was told that my vehicle repair would take two days. My repairs are taking 5-6 days longer to complete than expected and I'm still without my car. Again, I would not recommend bringing your vehicle here unless you okay with long delays turning into even longer delays. read more

Certified Transmission in Overland Park (near Shawnee Mission Medical Center) was excellent! They were recommended by my mechanic after I had already talked to the Honda dealership and read many reviews online. Phillip at Certified Transmission was very nice and explained everything in detail. After reading a few horror stories online about tow companies, I appreciated that Phillip made all of the arrangements for the tow and just added it to the bill. The service by Certified Transmission was prompt and so much less expensive than I had anticipated. My wife loves her Honda Civic and is so happy to have it back in working order. I would highly recommend these guys. read more

Such great service! Called to say my truck was being towed there, knowing it was after hours. I figured I would be leaving a message on a machine. Very surprised to reach an actual person for their after hour service. Left my info and hung up. Soon afterwards I received a call from the manager. They did a great job and we will return if any of our cars need the services they offered. read more

Our Jeep needed a new transmission. Our regular mechanic referred us to Certified Transmission. The staff were friendly and kept in contact with us while our car was being serviced. Because of the communication between us, we feel we received exceptional service. Scott even let me steal a pen from him. This is a business I would recommend over and over. read more

I can't say enough great things about this shop and it's manager. After a dealer told us that our Dodge needed a new transmission and wasn't safe to drive, which would run us nearly 4 grand. Based on this, we decided to shop around and get a second opinion. Based on reviews and speaking with their staff on the phone, we decided to go with Certified Transmission. They got the car in right away and determined after hours of diagnostics that while the transmission fluid needed to be changed, the transmission was actually in great shape and the car was safe to drive, also advising us of a couple other non-transmission related issues that were likely behind the symptoms we were experiencing. A little over $200 later, our car runs great. Their honest staff that took the time to explain their process and obviously care about their customers. The manager, David, was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. If I ever have transmission issues down the line, I know where to go. read more

Certified Transmission was honest and did a good job making repairs to my car. My Honda CRV had been making awful grinding sounds when accelerating; they could have sold me a transmission but told me that the transmission was fine and that all I needed were new mounts for the engine and transmission. They also identified a problem that I had been having for a long time, something they couldn't repair, and provided me a service bulletin that Honda had issued back in 2010 that I did not know about for the exact problem that I was having. Thank you Andrew and team for your great service. read more

Great people to work with! After my car broke down, it was initially towed to another local mechanic. After going 4 days without hearing from the other mechanic, we called Certified Transmissions. They towed my vehicle from the other mechanic to their shop the same day we called and began working on the vehicle immediately. My car was done in just a few days; way quicker than the original mechanic's estimated time. They also kept in contact with us about the status of the vehicle. I would definitely recommend this shop! read more

We actually needed transmission work done on 2 of our 3 cars within the last few months. Andrew Hardisty and the team at Certified Transmission did excellent work and took care of us both times. Andrew is a great communicator and explained what was going on with our vehicles. read more

I'm the owner of Five Star Moving LLC, Kansas City. After using their services we'll never go to another transmission repair center ever again! They're ethical and do very, very good work! Anthony and Andrew were our contact people and they were helpful beyond measure! A couple years back we brought our work truck, an extended size Dodge van in for emergency repair service on the transmission and they had it in and out in less than 3 days! We've never had a problem since! Last year our extended size Ford van needed transmission repair. This time instead of going back to the proven team, I decided to see if I could save a little money. What a colossal mistake that was! Being suckered into believing that the other nation-wide chain located a mile an half northwest of Certified did better work and cheaper, our work van that we make money with and is an integral part of our business, was STILL not repaired TWO AND A HALF MONTHS LATER!!! Costing us massive amounts of money in the meantime!!! Frustrated beyond belief, I brought it to Certified to get our work truck FINALLY repaired!! Again, in less than 3 days they had it running perfectly and not a problem since! And they even fixed the idle control that the other "total care" crew missed or didn't care to address! I made the mistake of trying to "save" a little money, but in the end I learned that if you want quality work, those few extra dollars you're spending on the team with the proven track record WILL save you countless amounts of your hard earned money in the long run! For sure!!! Certified Transmission is a safe and secure investment when it comes to peace of mind! Thank you Andrew and Anthony and the rest of the crew at Certified Transmission! You have a loyal customer for life!!!!! read more
