Wow what an experience I had, unfortunately for me my transmission conked out on my 2000 Chevy blazer. Even more unfortunately for me, I was seeking the best price and did not know that when you shop for transmission repair you shop by warranty and not by price. So after calling varying places, I decided on Certified Transmissions price of $1450 to "rebuild" my transmission with a six month warranty. It was the best deal I found, which was about $150 less than any other place that offered at least a year warranty. So I had my car towed to "Certified Transmission" now trying to hide under the aliase ""Transmissions for Less". They basically "fixed" my transmission " they did not rebuild it", I will explain later. My car was ready in the time frame they said, so I picked up my Vehicle and I was on my way. Six months later and 1 day, yes exactly one day I am not kidding, the transmission failed again(1 day after the warranty expired). I called Certified Transmissions aka Transmissions for less, and they told me I would have to pay them another $1450 to "fix" my transmission for another 6 month warranty. I realized something was fishy here, how can my transmission fail in 6 months and 1 day after they apparently "rebuilt it" ? I found a another transmission company that explained to me what kind of corrupt practices places like "Certified Transmission aka Transmission for less" scheme on, which are quite common in the transmission repair business according to them. They told me they are suppose to buy a kit for about $80 to replace all of the internal warn/broken parts and seals, basically making the transmission new once rebuilt. But they said that is not what they did, they only replaced what they visually saw broken when they opened the transmission. They ignored the worn or degrading replaceable parts they are suppose to replace, as long as they are not broken. They did not rebuild the transmission at all, they just "fix it" so it runs. Knowing very well that the other aged warn parts are going to fail soon, hoping it does not fail within the warranty period. They hope it fails after the warranty period, so they can charge you another $1450.00 to "fix" it again. He also explained to me the longer the warranty a transmission repair shop offers, the more likely they are using the kit or are at least replacing most of the worn and broken parts and seals. My advice,stay far far away from Certified Transmission / Transmission for less, unless you want to end up like me and pay $1450 for a "fix" initially and and another $1750 with another company to rebuild my transmission within 6 months of each other. $3200 total in six months. "Certified Transmission / Transmission for Less" seem to be trying to hide their tracks with multiple phone numbers and using different aliases. Here are some of their numbers (770) 982-3888 (770) 736-4187 (770) 466-8119 (404) 325-6700. I suggest everyone to seek out a multi-year transmission warranty when rebuilding your transmission. It might cost a few hundred more, but that is better than it failing in a year or so or two and having to pay another $1700 dollars again like me. read more

See all

I had the owner do work on my transmission. It took 3 months for him to finish but he got the job done. A $5,000 job in which my warranty covered half. A year later, the transmission was recalled and Audi was willing to give me back the money but I had no receipt to submit. After making $5000 off my services, you'd think the owner would be more than willing to provide the receipt that I lost. He remembered my car situation very well. But nope, he only cussed me out on the phone??? As far as I'm concerned, the owner is not mentally stable after his unwarranted outburst and I would not recommend dealing with them. read more

This Place is the worst! I took my Van there to have the transmission rebuilt. They told me they would put a transmission cooler on it too if it didn't already have one. When I picked it up, I took it immediately to Holdens for some other mechanical repairs I had scheduled to do. Before I got there (a mile down the road) my tire went flat. Surprise a Transmission screw was in that tire, a brand new one. They refused to even fix the tire. Holdens did it for me and then called me in the middle of the day to come look at something when I got there Mike showed me the receipt from the transmission place I had left on the seat and pointed out they had charged me $250 for a transmission cooler and installation. He then showed me the old beat up Cooler that had been on the Van since before I bought it. I went back to the transmission place to get a refund. They argued with me for 15 minutes before I proved them wrong and he said he would credit it back on my credit card. While he had it, HE CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD FOR ANOTHER $250.00. As I was leaving I checked my balance and realized what had been done. I went back and the Manager smiled and said it was a mistake and I'd have to do a chargeback on the card to get the refund!! He refused to refund me cash or write a check to me. I called the police because I have never heard of such crappy service especially as a business owner myself. The POLICE said it was a civil matter and I'd have to take him to court but, it was the fourth time he personally had been called up there by an Irate customer. The Policeman said they are well known for shafting customers, overcharging credit cards and even taking customers cars for the weekend without permission. It took three days to file a chargeback for the $500 they stole and I had to cancel the card and order a new one so they wouldn't have the details. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. read more

THE MANAGER AT THIS LOCATION STOLE MY TRUCK AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND HES STILL THERE!!!!!!!! I dropped my 2008 F-150 off at the Snellville location on a Monday around noon because my transmission was acting up and I just needed a diagnostics to see what was wrong and how much it will cost. I was told I would receive a call within a few hours, def. before they closed, with the results. I used an alternate vehicle to pick up my children from school and ran a few errands and noticed I didnt get a call yet. So my husband and I drove by to see if they had even looked at the truck yet and realized not only did they close before they were supposed to but even more so MY TRUCK WAS NOWHERE ON THE PROPERTY! I tried calling and kept getting transferred to a "answering line" that refused to do anything other then take a message and said someone would contact me within "working hours". I took video and photos. Then the next morning me husband went to the shop to wait for them to open to see where our truck is and he saw the MANAGER rolling up in the truck hanging out the window like he owned it and he parked it where I left it. Even though I was angry I went up there after my husband had told me the truck was back on the property and asked him why he had left for the day without calling. He said he just got too wrapped up he forgot to call and while he was putting a hat over the camera that was there for MY protection I asked him where my vehicle was all night and he assured me IT WAS PARKED THERE ALL NIGHT AND NEVER LEFT THE PREMISES AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!! HE DENIED TAKING IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HIM ON VIDEO DRIVING IN ON IT IN THE MORNING!!! TO TOP IT OFF MY TRUCK WA CLEAN WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE KEYS THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS COVERED IN MUD AND COMPLETELY FILTHY!!! THEN WHEN I FINALLY GET A HOLD OF THE MANAGER OF THE OTHER LOCATION IN DORAVILLE TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT EVER REACH THE OWNER, I was told it was going to be taken care of and even after he admitted to them for taking my vehicle, they just told him not to do it again and went on with their day. I contacted the police and was informed that we were not the only people this has happened to and that they have been doing this to people for years!!! COMPLETE SCAM!! EVEN THE BBB WORNS AGAINST THEM!!! STAY FAR FAR AWAY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE!! read more

NEVERRRRRR GO HERE!!! Don't waste your time! They hype you up with this great deal of 1500 including towing, I got my car towed there on August 20. They told me 3, 4 days max. It's now September the 9th and still I don't not have my car back. Rick told me they couldn't find the part first, then he told me they sent the wrong part, then he told me one of his workers called off so it will be a few more days. Mind you they never called me to tell me it wasn't going to be ready on the days it was suppose to be, I had to call them to see what's going on. When someone guarantees 4 days tops and it's been almost a month with no results it's past unprofessional, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! read more
