Clinton Auto Repairs are not to be trusted. These past few months have been an absolute nightmare because of my experience with this shop. To summarize, these guys led me to believe I was buying a rebuilt Jasper transmission with a great 3 year/100,000 mile warranty, but actually sold me a rebuilt Powertrain Solutions transmission with a very limited 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. So limited that the transmission has actually since broken down and I have only JUST received the meager $350 maximum labor reimbursement the warranty offers, 4 months after my claim was approved. Don't even get me started on the separate nightmare that dealing with Powertrain Solutions was. The repair job itself was also sloppy. They used makeshift rigs rather than the correctly sized starter bolts and neglected to tell me about a damaged sway bar that needed to be replaced. I even needed to bring the car back to the shop the day after I picked it up for a check-engine light that came on before I even made it home from the shop. In addition, the initial repair was extremely slow, taking over three weeks, during which the customer service was awful and unapologetic. Unreturned calls, sour attitudes, and zero apologies for delays. Even before I uncovered that I had been misled about the Jasper transmission, I was so uncomfortable with my experience here that I took the car somewhere else when the rebuilt transmission broke down just 3.5 months later. I would never trust this shop with a vehicle ever again.
You can give these guys the benefit of the doubt if you like, and chalk this up as an unintentional communication error rather than malicious deception. But even then, they still failed to inform me of the extremely limited nature of the warranty on the Powertrain Solutions transmission they did sell me. I contacted them twice about my complaints, and both times they neglected to respond. Now I'm making sure everyone knows what they're getting into with this shop. read more
