I had a great experience here. My daughter's car transmission went out a month before her 16th birthday. Estimates to even get it looked at were 4-6 weeks by other shops. Daniel said he could get to it and would do his best to get it done by her birthday. Supply chain issues delayed the parts and we were down to the last few days. A few days before her birthday he personally drove to get the part so that he could get it installed by her 16th. She was happy and I looked like a hero for coming through. Daniel deserves all the credit. 5 Stars! read more

Daniel is awesome. He provided insights and details easily after I made a last minute appointment.

It hasn't been a good year for my trusty Chevy truck (1998). First the engine literally ate itself in February, requiring a replacement, and then a few weeks ago the transmission starting shifting hard. I went by DC Transmission and talked with Daniel, the owner. He brought the truck in, removed the transmission pan, and performed some diagnostic tests then had the unpleasant duty of informing me the tranny was ready for its final hospice care! Daniel gave me a quote for removing, rebuilding, and reinstalling my transmission. Before committing to the job, I checked with a couple of other "big-box" transmission places, and found his prices to be more than competitive. There are two big differences between Daniel's business and the big transmission franchises. First, he actually disassembles and rebuilds YOUR own transmission, right in his own (very) clean room. It's not just a drop-and-swap with a transmission from some big mass-rebuilder operation. Secondly, and always important to me.. DC Transmission is an owner-run no-other-employee shop. that's right, it's always going to be just Daniel working on your transmission, not some 18 year old kid fresh out of 2 week transmission repair class. So, I dug up the coffee can with my savings from the back yard, and gave them the go-ahead. I dropped off my truck on a Friday afternoon. Daniel described the process: remove the transmission; disassemble it and assess damage; order parts as needed; reassemble and adjust; and finally, reinstall in the truck. I was really surprised when just 4 working days later I get a call from Michelle, Daniel's wife (yes, this REALLY is a mom-and-pop business), telling me the truck was ready to go Daniel took the time to show me the damaged parts he replaced in my unit, and man, there was clearly some serious damage and wear. The best part was when it came time to settle up. No advance deposit required here, by the way. The bill I was presented was EXACTLY to the penny equal to the estimate that Daniel had given me. There was none of the old : "Oh we found a rusty muffler bearing, so it will be an extra $500". I can't say enough good thinks about this place, and hence the 5-star rating. To sum up my experience: 1) Daniel and his wife are personable and courteous, both always have a smile on their faces 2) Super clean shop (and even cleaner tranny assembly room) and customer reception area 3) Quick work, done by the owner, at prices better than or equal to the franchise joints Lucky us to have DC Transmissions in Drippin' ! read more

I wish Yelp had 10 stars, because that's the rating I wish I could give to DC Transmissions!! When the transmission went kaput on my husband's 2001 Dodge Dakota, we went into panic mode. Just a year before, the transmission went out on my 2005 Ford Focus, and the quote that I received from a mechanic in Round Rock was three times more than the blue book value of my vehicle.... (Wound up having to sell it for parts). We did a Google search and thank goodness we came across found the DC Transmissions website! We called the shop and Daniel and Michelle had us bring the truck right in. He charged us a VERY fair price and did excellent work! My husband's Dodge is running like a champ, and Daniel and Michelle are both incredibly kind and considerate people. After years of bad experiences, I am so happy to say that I've found an AMAZING mechanic who is 100% trustworthy and true to his word! DC has our business for life! :) read more

Honest man, another shop in the area suspected a flywheel/transmission issue. I brought my truck to DC and had him take a look. Called me back and let me know the knocking was coming from a pulley. He could have taken me for a ride, I was convinced it was transmission related. I think he'll be my first stop with my next vehicle issue. read more

Great shop to work with! At 250k miles, my 2005 VW Jetta TDI with the tiptronic shifters (?) is a notorious transmission to work with- even for seasoned pros! Daniel and Michelle were both very nice and I felt very confident my car was in good hands. I had shopped most of the Austin transmission shops, even the ones with stellar Yelp reviews, and was disappointed. Their prices were all over the board and all sky high. In fact, most of them tried to convince me to sell the car rather than repair the transmission! Daniel drove the car and gave me several options, from new install to rebuild. He even offered a free 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. I went for the rebuild and was not sorry. Daniel warned me it might be a while for the new parts to break in but my car was immediately much better to drive. Now, almost 10k miles later, my car still runs smooth as silk. I'm glad I didn't waste money with the Austin shops, or worse yet, spend a ton of money on a new car! The only bad part is I may never get to do business with Daniel and Michelle again- whatever may happen to the car, I'm sure the transmission is good for the next 250k miles! read more

I had my Grand Cherokee transmission in for repair. Service was quick, high quality and delivered with a smile. Great place for tranny work.

Took my 2002 vehicle to this shop after another shop said it needed a full tranny rebuild ($3000+). The owner read the code (Solenoid open circuit), suggested just replacing the solenoid pack and thought that likely would solve the problem. He explained there is no guarantee there would not be further work once he got inside. However, the solenoid replacement worked and it saved me $2500! read more

I took my 1992 Honda Civic DX in to get a transmission rebuild. I agreed on a "fair" price of $2,500 and was told it would take 3 days since Daniel was backed up. 10 days later I received it after had to rent a vehicle for that amount of time to get to work and back.(Not the shops fault other than over promising on getting it done.) Less than a year later I came in to get maintenance (fluid change). I had some questions with how it was still shifting and Daniel added an additive. A week or so went by and my wife had to push me out of the drive way since it wouldn't go into reverse or 4th gear going down 290 wasn't fun. I pulled up and told Daniel the issues and he told me the unit was working fine last time I was in. Then comes the scary part it was just out of warranty by 1200 miles. He did honor his work though and rebuilt it a 2nd time. He told me it was a bad torque converter that caused the problem. When I came to pick up the car at no charge he showed me the $700 cost it cost him out of pocket.(Thanks for showing me how much it was marked up the first time and some how it was my fault he purchased a shotty part.) Also, I had to rent a vehicle for another 5 days that still wasn't done in the time frame as promised. Well, a little over a year later again I am having the same issue again which means I got another defective torque converter. I do have reputable shop that specializes in Honda and Acura only and for a Brand New Transmission will cost me $1,500 with installation. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more
