A year ago my 07 mini cooper developed a small leak . After seeing that it was the transmission I brought the car to ER transmission. Edger said it might be fixable with a dab of sealant . This cost $80 and seemed worth a try , after all the car ran fine just a little leak. when i picked the car up it wasn't fixed in fact it was much worse . like picking at something now its weeping and I dint think its drivable like this . Edger says he has seen this before and the front seal needs replacement, it will now be $1.300 . I explain I'm out of work and I am wondering if there is any room in his estimate for a break . He says yes $100 dollars off . But that his shop is full and I need to reschedule . (This helps me too as i have to come up with 1200 dollars ) Three weeks latter I'm not liking taking the bus everywhere and am glad to get my mini in the shop . Edger says it will be 10 days to 2 weeks depending on parts . when the car was done I went with my $1200 to pick it up and edger says the transmission is in bad shape and I will have to "Take it easy" ? after over $1200 I'm supposed to leave with a now wounded transmission ? I thought will see if it works fine if it doesn't I'm not going to let that go for that much money. Oh and he didn't give me paper work up until now we have agreed with no paper work . I should have insisted after he said his copiers was down but I come from trusting people I suppose . So i leave with the car again this time it leaks worse and doesn't feel right . So I turned around went back and all the time wondered if they even test drove it before they called me . Edger says his shop is full now and i have to come back latter that afternoon. I ask him is it going to be OK to drive away with it feeling like this? He says it will be fine to take it easy and He will have my paper work also when i return. The car drove for two more miles then quit . I walk back to the shop Edger says he will have a wrecker go get my car and try to fix . My friends are telling me now to get away from this shop ,But I cant they owe me service that i cant afford to pay someone else to do now. when I call him back i get the word Edger says it my fault the trans was waisted from the git go and the new price is $4.200 . But he does say that I can make payments if need be after all "we know one another by now" . (I feel screwed ) But say go ahead and left without paper work sorta in shock . I wait through Aug, I wait through Sept . and then I start calling a couple of times a week I paid down all but the last 1300 worried that i would have a problem with cash and I didn't want anything to fall back on me .. In Nov. I call and let loose I tell him I have been taken unfair advantage of. How could it take this long ? He blames everyone again and says the parts supplier ( parts never take 6 mo.) .Dec more phone more excuses in Jan . He says 10 more days . After 10 days I call The Burro of automotive repair . I explain what has happened thus far and they tell me that Its my word against his for everything that has happened without paperwork , But that it is itself against the law . He calls ER transmission . Edger says he was trying to do me a favor ? and that it will ready in 10 days if i have the last $1.300 owed . ( that was never an issue BTW ) then Edger tries to chastise me for calling the authorities on him. So a deal was struck in 10 days I will pick up my running Mini with a six month warranty and all my paper work .Ten days latter The man from the automotive repair agency looks at the car and says its still broken and maybe I should get someone else to do the repair . Or sue him or both . He also stated that he would be a witness for the case if i decided to go that way. I tell ER to gear up this is going to be ugly er in court Edger blames me , the man from the agency , The parts supply , and says he wants 10 more days . In ten days I get a call from the agency this time they say the car seems to run and I should go by there and see if it is in fact now ready. There no way that he could test drive this car and tell me its ready . It will now downshift it self at high speeds and is a danger to anyone who tries to drive it Its been a year now without a car . Edger says the part he replaced (The transmission he killed ) has a guarantee but he wants to spend another $140 on a wheel censer so he can do a proper check this does nothing and so he then wants to change the computer for another $200 . I list the car for sale cheap as it has issues now. Oddly enough someone wanted a cheap mini so they took over where I left off . It took a year and I never heard that car work well again . As for as I know ER transmission killed it . . As for as edger I road by his shop on my way home from the grocers while on my bicycle he was standing out side his shop and he looked right at me and said Wheres my money? ...after 4300 dollars spent.

I had a very disappointing experience with Edgar and ER Transmissions. I got a full transmission rebuild on my van. However over the next few days I noticed that the transmission had the exact same problems as before. It became very clear that either NO WORK, or incredibly SHODDY WORK had been done on the transmission. Unfortunately, getting the rebuild was the last thing I did before moving away from San Francisco - and so I could not return to have it fixed or confront him in person for some time. We did talk on the phone and he promised to fix it when I could return. It was my only choice, and so I had to live with a car that had practically no reverse and that constantly slipped while in drive. I had a warranty for 1 year or 12,000 miles. I returned within the year and he refused to fix or look at it unless I paid for a whole new transmission. He said since it was over 12,000 miles he was not responsible for it. I reminded him of the fact that it was never fixed to begin with, but he wouldn't budge. I felt very taken advantage of and super disappointed that he took no responsibility for his work and didn't try to make things better. I have a real suspicion that he did NO work on it to begin with. I wouldn't risk coming here if I were you. read more
