Pleasant call and sure enough a few hours later he called and had an opening for me. They open at 8am. Being a person that is up early and shows up early I was there at 7:05am. I figured I'll wait on them rather than them wait on me. I saw two men cleaning up the place getting ready to open up. I appreciated that they were that early getting ready and not strolling in at 8pm. I sat in my truck waiting patiently because I knew I was early. A gentle man walked up to my truck who was Ron and he wrote me up and got me started. By 9am I was out the door with a full transmission and transfer case service on a my 2509 Diesel truck. I cannot say how much I appreciate the professionalism and curiosity from Ron. 100% will be back in 50K miles.

I was on vacation 400 miles away from home when my van started bucking whenever I accelerated and…read moreslowed down. I was extremely stressed because dealing with vehicle problems was the last thing I wanted on my mind while trying to enjoy my vacation. I spent some time on Yelp reading reviews for several transmission shops before deciding to call Transmission Masters. One of the reasons I chose them was because they've been in business for more than 48 years and had consistently great reviews. I also like reading the one-star reviews because, let's be honest, you really can't please everyone. I just wanted to find an honest and trustworthy shop. I called and spoke with Ron right before closing time. He took the time to listen to everything I was experiencing, explained what he thought the issue could be, and told me to bring the van in the next morning. Their shop opens at 8:00 AM, but when I arrived around 7:45 AM, they were already there working on vehicles. When I walked in, Ron remembered our conversation from the previous day, which immediately made me feel comfortable. He scanned my van but didn't notice anything unusual. He reset my ECM and another setting, and thankfully that solved the problem. What impressed me the most was that Ron didn't charge me a dime for his time or help, even though I genuinely wanted to give him something for helping me out. I drove all the way from Disneyland back home to Northern California without a single issue afterward. Ron, if you happen to read Yelp reviews, I truly want to say THANK YOU for your time, honesty, and knowledge. You helped turn a very stressful situation into a positive experience, and I sincerely appreciate it.

I'm not mechanically skilled, so it was good to see how they checked for puncturing. And by extension, showing that work is being done. Some other shops will say they did services but just cold pitch it to upsell. I appreciate the team for helping me get on my way. Because they are dedicated to helping people, I'd definitely recommend them. Thank you again.

I'm in a newer car now, so I might not be visiting until it's no longer dealer maintained, but Jeff was wonderful to work with and a very honest person. I'm sort of leaving this as a thank you for that service, knowing I might not be able to return for awhile. His service was also provided during a tough time in my life. He always charged me a fair price which is why I respect him a lot. I've never had a BS service recommended by him. Everything is "hey, look at this" or "this is what is wrong". If you are looking for an independent mechanic H & A auto is a trustworthy place that still exists in this day and age.

I've truly never gotten service like this from any auto shop and the people couldn't be nicer. We had an issue where several codes were thrown and they fixed the issues and about a month later, the problem came back due to a component that hadn't been replaced. Even though the problem reoccurring wasn't due to their original repair, they still offered to credit the labor and just charge me for the parts. Truly exceptional customer service and will drive from anywhere to take my car to this shop.

Their prices are so fair that I genuinely feel like they undercharge and wouldn't at all mind paying more. I first came here after the Toyota dealership told me my timing belt cover was leaking oil and wanted to charge me thousands of dollars. Lol. Came here for a second opinion and was reassured I'll be just fine, just top up oil every now and then. Been coming here ever since for every 5,000 mile maintenance! And to replace my spark plugs! I told my sister to bring her car here too for maintenance. This past weekend, her boyfriend's dad checked her oil level with the dipstick and said the oil was really low. She came back here to double check and turns out he was mistaken; she was totally fine. Truly wonderful people that you can trust without question. Very grateful for all they have done to help us.

Costa Mesa Transmission was unable to diagnose or repair my vehicle and consistently demonstrated…read morepoor communication throughout the process. I paid $333 for two hours of labor for a diagnosis and a relearn procedure that I was told would resolve the issue. At no point was I contacted to authorize any additional work beyond the diagnosis. I was later informed that the vehicle was fixed and paid the invoice, hoping the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately, the problem remained. When I returned, I received conflicting explanations. First, I was told there were no detectable issues. Later, I was told the transmission needed to be replaced. I was also repeatedly told that the repair I suspected would not fix the problem. Even so, I asked them to provide a quote for that repair since a transmission replacement was not financially practical. I was told they would call me with a quote and credit one hour of labor, but I never received a call. After nearly a month of poor communication and an unrepaired vehicle, I decided to purchase the part and perform the repair myself. More than 100 miles later, the vehicle is operating normally. The repair that I was repeatedly told would not solve the issue ended up resolving it completely. I am extremely disappointed with my experience and am out $332 with no resolution provided by the shop.
