Terrible rebuild. I have a 2012 Sienna. I took the trans out myself and had it rebuilt by these guys. Didn't work the first time, took it back and they said they would take a look at it. A week passed and they said it was ready. Went to pick it up and it sat in the same spot. Tried the trans again and it did not work. Took it apart myself and they did not even open it to check what was wrong. Valve body was full of sludge. Bottom line went to someone else for a rebuild. It could have been my fault for the install but I didn't like that they lied about checking it. read more

My transmission had went out on my 07 Tahoe, I sourced the trans myself and sent it in for them to install it and it was done the next day by the afternoon and at a great price. read more

They always get the job done. I have an old school 350Th transmission that needed some TLC and they made it happen.. they changed the shifter, shafts selector, filler seal and the transmission vacuum... you needs lots of patience with these older cars but they got it right.. I recommend them-- Abelardo the man.. calidad read more

We took in a Toyota sienna because of the transmission and they fixed it. This is our form of income we use it as a taxi, we were told to give them 1 to 2 days to fix, when we went to pick it up it was not ready because they were short staffed and that they were I'll etc. And we were understanding of the situation and we ended up getting the car back a week latter. We though it would be returned maybe a day later but we lost a 5 days of work because we didn't have a car. Not only did we loose a week of income but 2 months later it broke down . Which brings us to the present, we took it back they said give them a day or 2 I called them yesterday and spoke to Abelardo he said he would have it today and I asked him to make sure it was fixed and that if they were really going to keep the pick up time because of our last experience, Abelardo proceeded saying he would give me my money back and hanging up and blocking my number. It was first of all uncalled for and unprofessional but now it's going to cost time to find a reliable place that treats its customers well and that stands by its work instead of this place. read more

Abelardo, Jovani, and the crew are awesome. Fair prices and get the job done. I was worried taking my truck for a trani rebuilt as it's been with me for over a decade with no major issues. Truck started having occasional shift slips. I took my truck in before any major problem would occur. Thanks Duarte Transmissions. You guys are the best. Worth my drive to you guys. read more

These guys are expert's they fixed my clutch for my Mustang great price . I even drove from Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley . They are awesome ! Best transmission and clutch shop in all of California read more

Very reliable shop , Mr abelardo it's a very humble person, they are pretty busy so it's hard to get your car accepted. I will make one complaint : their communication it's pretty bad , if something goes wrong with your car they are not going to call you to update you, and you're going to be waiting... I missed my vacations because of that ,they told me my car was going to be ready on a certain day , the day came ,and they didn't call me ,I had to call and find out . ={ read more

Duarte's has repaired all four of our Chevy Suburban Transmissions. We have a Limousine Company and our vehicles take a beating. It's worth the trip from Santa Barbara to Duarte to have a reliable company and knowledgeable mechanic get our cars back on the road with a guarantee! We've always had a great outcome with our fleet that Duarte has repaired! I highly recommend! read more

When my 06-Acura TL's transmission went two months after the warranty ended, a friend of my family recommended I try Duartes. They offered me a better deal cash money obviously and a one year warranty. The price was reasonable and I couldn't be any happier. My car is now 18k miles in and the black Dhalia is running like a queen again. Thank you Duartes. read more

Wonderful customer service !!! Explain everything wrong with my car . Friendly smiles . Walked through the process . Will be returning if I need any service again . Thank you ! read more

Duarte Trashmission shop is a great place if you're looking for a quickie ! As in in quick cheap temporary fix ! My first rebuild at this shop lasted approximately 20 months / 22,000 miles ! Not horrible but certainly not great ! And for the $1,200.00 bill I paid left a whole lot to be desired ! I should've learned the 1st time around but his charismatic persona had me throwing my hard earned money at him and down the oil drain ! I am Angry at Duarte's poor workmanship that has lead to my transmissions short lifespan and has ultimately degraded my very own quality of life and happiness .Still....., I towed it to the shop one more time ! Guess I was looking for closure or something. Well Mr Abelardo saw my truck as it rolled off the tow trucks flatbed and like any opportunistic Alfa predator jumped on top of my carcass of a truck and went In For the kill ! He was apologetic and assured me I was one in a thousand to have such misfortune and asked that I grant him the opportunity to make things right ! Well long story ( short ) lol ! I gave in like a desperate little Christian girl . He promised he'd be gentle , kind and overall cheap . Only charged me for his inferior low performance parts ! Yay !! Shall keep you all posted one mile at a time in hopes that this rebuild last a respectable time ! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!! My experience was horrible. To start off, my work van was broken into. Abelardo simply left it outside and did not lock it. I wasn't able to pick up the car the day it was repaired, so he simply left it out on the streets unlocked and tried to blame me. He said it was my fault for not picking it up the same day (even though he left the car unlocked). I had to argue with him until he finally agreed to help me with some of the cost of repair. As if that wasn't enough, my transmission started acting up after 20 miles of picking it up. He worked on it for a second time and he claimed that he had repaired it. I trusted him and I took it on the road. The car left me stranded 200 miles away from my home and I had to pay to get it towed which was an additional unnecessary expense. I had to take it to him for a third time and it still was not fixed properly. The transmission had a kick when it shift into 4th gear (it didn't do that before). I got tiered of his lies and Mickey Mouse work so I moved on to another shop. Then, I started speaking to other people that have taken their car there for repair and they have also had negative experiences. Most of them stated that they had to get their transmission repaired as soon as their warranty expired. This is not acceptable !! I do not understand how he is still in business. I would not recommend anyone to bring their car here. He is not reliable!!! read more

Came here for a transmission on my 2013 Nissan Sentra SV. Before I came here my car was struggling to run, but now it's running like new! My car has never run this smooth before! Great service and excellent prices. Would highly recommend coming here! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!! I brought my car here when the transmission fell out of my SUV on the 210 Frwy. The staff was very friendly and nice. They installed a rebuilt transmission. It started falling out of gear before I even made it home. I took it back 4 times (each time for several days) to be corrected. Aberlado "claims" that he replaced it 3 times (which I only believe he did the first time). If he was telling the truth this rating should be negative as that means 3 rebuilt transmissions were bad...in a row! Falling out of gear frequently and rumbling /grinding during gear shifts since the initial repair EVERY time I drove it. I nearly got into a collision as a result. After about 1700 miles of this torture I went back again as I was about to give my car to my kid and wanted it to drive safely. Aberlado claimed it was replaced again showing me what was suppose to be my old transmission in the other room. Then he said if the problem persisted I should take it to the dealer for further evaluation as it's likely the transmission computer or valve. The problem persisted before I made it to the light outside of his driveway. If a bad transmission computer or valve was the case why wasn't it originally diagnosed when I took the car in AND why can't a transmission shop replace the transmission computer or valve?....because they are either incompetent or didn't want to. I took it to another shop who concluded that I needed ANOTHER transmission. I had a used one installed that worked perfectly without further issue. The other shop was able to accomplish in one attempt with a used transmission what this shop couldn't accomplish in (supposedly) 3 rebuilt transmissions. The Duarte staff were always nice while screwing me but just couldn't get the job done. There is no excuse for replacing a transmission after 1700 miles. Keep in mind that their warranty is for 12,000 miles and I started complaining day one. Maybe you will get lucky and everything will be ok, However if something is not right your screwed. There is no way to justify this incompetence. Go anywhere else. They replied in a positive manner below but their positive statements don't change the facts that my issues went unresolved and it was pointless to purchase their transmission if it never worked correctly. read more

I am very happy to give 5 Stars to Duarte's Transmission company because they give good service and they are reliable on there prices. It's worth the trip from Los Angeles to Pacoima Ca.

A co-worker recommended me Duarte Transmission. My car an Equinox 2007 had transmission problems and I had been dealing with this problem for a long time without finding a reliable place and company with a reasonable price. I took my car with Abelardo its owner, from the beginning gave me the confidence and credibility that I was expecting. They were organized and the place was clean, its employees were professionally uniformed. The site is not too big, but their work was impeccable. They were honest and punctual. I even had not transportation to return to my house and they helped me with this issue. One of their employees, Erasmo took us at home, he was very courteous and kind. They gave me one year or 12 thousand miles warranty. Abelardo told me that if for some reason I had any problem, he was always willing to review it. Work was done before the agreed time, they did their work in two days. I can tell you that it is the best transmissions site that I found in L.A. and I recommend it 100% Thanks Abelardo for your kindness and good work. Danny Alonso. read more

I recently bought a 2000 Lincoln Continental with 70,000 miles on it....a lovely car like new! After 9 months and 2000 more miles the dreaded.... "Service Engine Soon"  light came on with code......P1744 "torque converter malfunction" but it is still shifting OK for now. But to prepare for a future possible transmission breakdown........I went to several tranny shops near my home to get some quotes for future use. I found that it would cost me $2600 for a rebuild of my tranny with installation labor...... or if I just put in a new torque converter and selenium the cost would be about $1300...but if only these two parts weren't the problem and I needed a rebuild.....I'd have to do the job TWICE...---all this would be very costly.... NOT SMALL CHANGE FOLKS. Plus, The smaller job of only replacing the torque converter and selenium for $1300 .... I'm afraid possibly would NOT solve "the problem" and if so .....I would have spent almost $1300 for nothing and then I'd have to do a total rebuild anyway for another $2600....so I decided to drive the car with NO TRAN REPAIR until it stops working...then to rebuild or replace all necessary parts found upon opening it up and inspecting it both inside and outside. And for sure, I wouldn't want to spend $2600 for a rebuilt if it turned out that the tranny only needed a few parts.....so I decided to ASK PEOPLE WHO OWN A "USED CAR LOT" WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY BUY A CAR AT AUCTION THAT LATER NEEDS A NEW BUT CHEAP TRANNY REBUILD. I was told, "We use DUARTE Transmission in Pacoima". Duarte's is in a part of LA where there are many used car lots.....and many old used cars owned by people who don't have a ton of money to spend or waste.....and the rents for businesses and labor charges are probably less than other areas in LA. THE PRICE AT DUARTE TRAN SHOP IN PACOIMA I WAS INFORMED WHEN I ACTUALLY WENT THERE IN PERSON....WOULD BE $1100 INCLUDING A NEW OR REBUILT TORQUE CONVERTER AND ANY OTHER PARTS THEY WOULD FIND NEEDED...THIS WOULD BE AFTER THEY OPENED UP AND ACTUALLY INSPECTED THE INSIDE AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE OF MY TRANSMISSION. So, for anyone reading this...ASK A USED CAR DEALER WHERE THEY GET THEIR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS DONE CHEAPLY. Maybe let me know what you find out...... boland7214@aol.com  The Tran Shop is in Pacoima a suburb of Los Angeles... When I visited their location..... the owner gave me a quote of $1100 for a total tear down and rebuild. The name of the shop is.... Duarte Transmissions  12630 Osborne Street, Pacoima. Maybe give them a try and let us all know your experience with this Transmission Shop. In truth I haven't had to rebuild my transmission yet...I'm driving with the amber light on for now...but my plan is to use Duarte Transmission when the transmission becomes inoperative and I am forced to rebuild for the quoted $1100 total price. Otherwise the price at AMCO or another shop could be as high as $2600 or more! One more way SOME repair shops raise your bill is that you take the broken car in and ask, "Do you repair transmissions?" "Oh, yes, we can repair or rebuild or put a new one in the car." ONE SHOP I FOUND OUT ABOUT THEN SENDS THE CAR WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMER TO A DEDICATED TRANNY SHOP...GETS IT REPAIRED..THEN CHARGES THEIR CUSTOMER AN ADDITIONAL $500 OR MORE ABOVE THE ACTUAL COST.... TO MAKE THEIR OWN PROFIT. NOT GOOD! read more

BE AWARE ! My vehicle was there for a few days while it was being worked on . The morning after I picked up the vehicle I noticed the esp button had been switched to an ESP OFF basic button . I immediately called the office and spoke to Abelardo . He ended up saying to take the vehicle back and he would fix the problem . Well when I took the car back cause it still ended up doing what it was doing before it got "fixed" I asked him about the button and he was quick to say that it didn't happen there, his workers didn't have any reason to do that , in the rudest manner when it comes to speaking to a customer, and left me talking to attend a walk-in .Im aware that its just a button but whats upsetting is that there was no reason for them to put hands on anything else besides what it was being taken in for. This is just an eye opener ... you can take your car in for a specific reason but you really won't know what else they put hands on . read more
