I found DOWNTOWN TRANSMISSION to be honest, fast and reliable. I'd use them again. In fact, I plan to. The parking situation is horrible. Otherwise a fifth star. read more

I brought my 2008 Honda Ridgeline to Downtown Transmission because it was having shifting and power-loss issues, and I wanted a proper diagnosis of the root cause. After inspecting the vehicle, I was told the problem was related to the transmission and was recommended repairs that ended up costing me a significant amount of money. Unfortunately, after the repairs were completed, the original issue was still present. As I continued troubleshooting the vehicle, it became apparent that the problem may have been related to components such as the wiring harness, shift linkage adjustment, or transmission control system rather than the major transmission issue I was originally told it had. What frustrates me most is that I relied on the shop's expertise to accurately diagnose the problem before recommending expensive repairs. Instead, I paid a substantial amount of money and was left with the same symptoms that brought me to the shop in the first place. I understand that diagnosing transmission-related issues can be complex, but customers deserve a thorough diagnosis and clear communication before costly repairs are performed. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before authorizing major transmission work. I hope Downtown Transmission takes this feedback seriously and improves its diagnostic process so future customers do not have the same experience. read more

Thanks to Bill and everyone at Downtown Transmission my car is up and running just like new. They walked me through every step of the way. And insured me that everything was gonna be done properly. And it was! Thanks Downtown ! read more

This establishment employs thieves to work on your car. Mine was sent in to have transmission work done. They were unable to do the work. When I got my car back, I was missing personal belongings and my dashboard was broken when the thief took my dash mounted car charger. read more

Downtown Transmissions - Broken dashboard where my car charger was before it got stolen. - Transmission Repair Near Me - Davie, Florida

They are good service people. The customer service was good while I was there. They didn't call to notify me that they would need my car longer than they told me they would. They need to work on communicating. Other than that service was good. read more

My first review of Downtown Transmissions here was a glowing one because everything seemed to have worked fine, for a few weeks. Then problems started, strange noises, jerking at odd times and particularly when taking on an on ramp up i95. Over a period of months I took it back to have it checked but always was confronted with diversions tactics by Ross telling me to not believe my lying eyes and ears. I kept on using my Ford Transit van sparingly until one day it left me stranded with a grave-dead tranny. Now there was a new mngr. Ely, I insisted to bring it over for warranty work but my van sat there for six months always giving me BS not fit for a 6 y.o. Now there's the very owner of the place, Bill, that told me he won't fix it because even though I only put 2000 miles on a $4k rebuild, too long has passed. They worked me like a charm. I should've pay attention to the bad reviews. All along there was bad craftmanship and bad faith from Helltown Transmissions. I'd give it a zero star if I could. I can't tell you to not come to this shop, I'm just sharing my bitter experience for you to weight if you want to risk your hard earned money and time to deal with a flaky outfit and I'll post more reviews every place I can. read more

This is the biggest dirty scumbag ripoff in the business. I brought my truck in to have the transmission to be rebuilt. We live in Jupiter an hour and a half away. The owner told me the truck would be ready on Friday. After 4,000 dollars later and no truck the owner states that the truck was in an accident. We wanted to get the truck out of his yard as we DID NOT want him to touch it again. He WOULD NOT meet us at the place of business and told a big lie about running over a boulder. The transmission was damaged and the pan was bent which he said he would replace. We finally pulled the truck out of there on Tuesday after he said it was fixed. The truck is damaged and the he never repaired ANYTHING!!! It's worse now than before we brought it in. Time for an ATTORNEY. This owner is a Scumbag and a Criminal!! read more

Good place honest people very comfortable working with. Highly recommend the timing was on point now I can haul my gym equipment with no problem that's all I have to. Thank you very much for your service read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. When Ross was the owner this would never happen the ratings alone brought me here. Since the sell this place has went to $h!+. They are incompetent and sloppy. No one should have to return 3 to 4 time within a 3 month time frame to have the same problem fix. Not only do they need a education in mechanics, but customer service is one of their least important skills/ attribute they're working with. Rude and Nasty is to nice of a word. The Cadillac my husband drive is old but very well maintained. Better than my vehicle which is a lot newer than his, Please stay away and if your insurance or warranty company recommends find another place. I work for the insurance company you have options. read more

Recom shop by a friend in the same line of work. Rude and disrespectful for no reason over the phone. Just want a quote on a rebuild, with my supplied parts. He could of handle it way better. read more

I've been dealing with them for 12 plus years and there's never been a problem with the manager.I'm unsure of who this new guy is but he's rude and unprofessional.Once I retrieve my car I'll never in life go back here again.It saddens us to part ways with downtown transmission after 12 plus years but this is by far the worst customer service they've ever provided from managemen. read more

The worst transmission shop. Nothing but crooks. Honestly they have no knowledge on how to fix a transmission even after being robbed 3 times by them by close to $3k. They constantly bragged about hating cars that are CVT, and after all the money that was paid, their best solution is to disconnect the battery and the dashboard trouble indicators (lights) will go away! Really ? read more

​Unfortunately this review is not going to be a good one , after downtown transmission had my vehicle for one month I get my truck back with a busted tail light which were brand new my gas siphoned out of the truck to where I ran out two blocks away from the shop along with a butchered wiring harness being held together with three and four butt connectors in a row my transmission dipstick will not sit back down into the fill tube anymore because more than likely something inside of the transmission is obscuring the hole . What these people don't realize is that I am a mechanic myself just not a transmission mechanic unfortunately. Their mechanics are unskilled and sloppy workers never had my life have I ever experienced anything like this before and never will again . My advice stay as far away as you possibly can from the shop . A little message for the owner/mechanics of this place you're not going to get over on everyone read more

I brought my truck there back in August 2022 to have them determine where my transmission was leaking from and get an estimate on how much it would cost to repair. They kept my truck for a week each day saying they would get to it first thing tomorrow morning. After a week I called to let them know I was coming to pick up my truck regardless of what they say. The guy who handles the phones (heavy NY accent) told me the truck was ready and it was $2,300.00. I thought he was joking, but he was not. They said they spoke to me and had preformed a soft rebuild on my transmission. I never gave them the OK to do the work. Unbelievable! After a huge argument, we agreed on $2000 to release the truck to me. I shouldn't have paid anything, but felt that they did the job and I had a rebuilt transmission. After 3 months my truck lost 2nd gear. I was hesitant to even bring it back to these guys do to their horrible reviews on here and how they screwed me already. I decide to take it to another shop. They said they would have to drop it and start from scratch. Another two grand. I ended up replacing the entire transmission and washing my hands with this horrible experience. Avoid these guys at all cost! They used to be very reputable when Ross owned the business. It's a shame these guys are still in business. read more

Very knowledgable owners & mechanics. If you need a rebuild or just routine maintenance, they will treat you right. Try this place before the dealership. You will definitely save some time and money. Definitely recommend to anyone needing a transmission shop. read more

I had a general question, so I called after I got their name on Angie's List and looked at the reviews. The guy that answered didn't even answer with the name of the business, was rude at hell answering and then just hung up the phone. They may do great work, however, their first impressions really stink. Think I will keep looking read more

i contacted them through yelp message on 2/19 for a price of having the transmission fluid changed on a 2016 Chevy express. I decide to stop by on 3/4 to have it done. I came in about 7.45 and spoke with owner and he gave me the same price and I said ok lets do it but he could not do anything until 8 when his employees come in, I said no problem. It is now 8.30 and he tells me that my exhaust is in the way and that he would need to put it on the bigger lift which is in the back and its being used. He me told the lift would available around 12 and he would call me back to bring it in, I told him if he couldn't do today I could bring it back tomorrow that it was not a problem, he insisted it could be done today and he asked for my number and he would call me when its ready. I messaged him a couple days later and asked what happen and no response from him so I decide to get under the van and did not find the exhaust pipes in the way as he said , so I decided to drive back to shop to see this lift, and there was no lift in the back of his shop. He decided to contact me back 2 days later through yelp but he never did answer my question. I don't understand why he found its necessary to lie if he did not what to do the job or he underestimate the price he could have something. read more

April 7, 2014 ~ Update: My car's transmission was taken apart by Nation-Wide Transmission Company and it is now costing $2,400 to repair. At the end of the day ladies and gentlemen, the transmission does not lie. Every single piece of that transmission is now documented and that will tell the true story. I paid for a rebuilt transmission and that is not what I got! The Better Business Bureau is listing the same complaint from another customer around the same time in 2013. This company is now doing the back stroke. If I wanted a free transmission why am I now paying $2,400 to have it repaired? The "tow" that they are referring to; I had to scream and yell for them to cover (1) ONE 50.00 TOW on December 12, 2013! Believe that? I have had to beg and borrow just to get by. I am out of my pocket over $6,000 that is a lot of trouble for some who is "looking for a free transmission" Oh and the "discount", if I paid cash they would not charge me tax. My story is the same from the start, "there is something wrong with my transmission"! read more

Great transmission shop. Very experienced. All foreign and domestic transmissions repaired or replaced. No drama, straight forward explanations. On Sept 26, I had my transmission oil and filter changed in my old 2001 Ford Explorer 168,000 miles. It cost me $140.00 not including tax. I took me 45 minutes. It sure beats Sears $109.00 oil Exchange that does NOT include the oil filter. Don't try to enter on 441, there is only two parking spaces. Turn off 441 at SW 14 ST or SW 18 ST and turn again on 40th Terrace to enter the back parking lot. It's not marked very well on 40th Terrace but you can find it. read more

Steve and Ross down to earth - what I like about these guys they will try to fix first unlike most places just tell you you need a transmission. I would highly recommend this place!!! read more
