I was referred to Factory Transmissions by my old smog guy (I will keep it clean by saying that place doesn't smog my car any longer--as they caused the transmission failure).
I was sick with fear when I found out I had a transmission problem in my old SUV that I strictly use as a second car--I figured that fixing transmissions wasn't an inexpensive task. I had a great experience at this shop. Brian was always great when I called in and I even spoke with the owner Gerald during the "diagnosing the problem" phase.
My car needed a lever replaced which took quite a bit of labor to removed the transfer case etc (or that is what I was told). The final bill was $309.10 (cheap for a transmission job). I would say that regardless of price ( I would have paid more) the experience was superb and I think that these guys really know their business.
Come to find out, the owner is on some San Diego AM radio program on the weekends--I plan on listening this weekend! When your car gets F'd up you want the best--I did some research and I am glad it was this shop that fixed my car. They warrantied the job 12 month/12,000miles (because it was a minor repair), Otherwise it is a 3 year warranty
Included in that price was also a Transmission service--filter, gasket, fluid, etc. since they were already in there...
I also learned that they have another repair shop in Santee. read more
