Five stars all day!!! My situation started in July 2024 when…read moremy transmission went out on a road trip through Northern California. I was towed into Hartnell Transmission and met Dale. Unfortunately I needed a whole new transmission and had to leave the truck for a few days. Dale was extremely fair and honest, and did a fantastic job rebuilding my transmission. It even came with a 2-year warranty !! Fast forward to this week. The new transmission has been great but we experienced a minor issue. I gave Dale a call and he recommended two transmission shops in Reno where we could take the truck to be checked. The shop I chose stated the transmission was damaged beyond repair due to a clogged air filter and would not be covered under warranty. This made no sense!! I called Dale at Hartnell and relayed the message. Dale assured me that any issues with the new transmission would be covered. Dale called the other shop and ultimately paid for the diagnosis and asked that I take the truck out of that shop and take it to the other for a second opinion. Turns out there is no serious issue after all and the transmission was given a clean bill of health. I appreciate Dale's professionalism and excellent customer service. Now, I wish my transmission never died, but since it did, I'm very happy it ended up at Hartnell transmission. Thank you Dale!!!!!

Quoted a "quick fix," performed unauthorized work, charged $530, and refused to explain the bill…read more I would strongly caution women in particular before coming here. Very rude and dishonest about charges. If you don't understand car repairs, you could easily be taken advantage of. I have no doubt I would have been charged even more if I didn't know how simple this repair should have been. Unprofessional, unauthorized charges, and extremely disrespectful behavior. Before bringing my car in, I clearly explained the issue: a specific electrical A/C problem (turning on/off). The system was already working and recently serviced. I made it clear I only needed a quick, straightforward fix with no unnecessary servicing, and that I would not bring it in if he planned to service the whole system.Chuy said he understood and that it would be a quick fix. The only charge I authorized was a $150 diagnostic fee. Despite this, after I dropped my car off, he performed and charged for an A/C service I did not authorize, along with additional unapproved work. On Tuesday, he called while I was rushing to class and told me I could not call him back shortly after, forcing me to have my dad call. After that, he avoided communicating with me and instead kept saying, "I talked to your dad," even though I repeatedly asked him to speak directly with me. By Wednesday, the issue still wasn't fixed, yet I was already told it would cost around $300. He later said the repair would take less than an hour, but my car wasn't ready until Friday. When I picked it up, the total was $530, meaning $380 in charges were added without my authorization. He provided an invoice, but it did not include a clear breakdown of labor vs. parts and was sent to my dad instead of me. When I asked for an explanation, he refused and said, "Let's call your dad, he can pay the rest." Even while I was paying with my own card, he asked if my dad was going to pay and told me I was being "emotional." He then said, "One day you're going to grow up and learn..." I also noticed multiple 5 star reviews describing him as "honest," which is difficult to reconcile with my experience. If you don't have a strong understanding of car repairs or pricing, I would be especially cautious and make sure everything is clearly authorized and itemized in writing. This raises serious concerns about: $380 in unauthorized charges Unauthorized services despite clear instructions Misrepresentation of cost and scope Lack of itemized billing Refusal to communicate with the actual customer Dismissive and sexist behavior This was a simple repair that should have been quick and affordable. Instead, it took 5 days, cost $530, and involved unprofessional treatment.I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

Was very disappointed with the work on my brakes, my lug nut and stud was stripped, and bent left…read moredangling. I would have not known until I purchased 4 new tires. Disappointed as in when calling them, I asked can they remove the lug and stud that was damaged, I am not asking for anything free, I already purchased 4 new tires.I wanted them to take off what they had broken. And they would not, I had no other work done. He was the last to remove and replaced back when I paid for that service.( changing brakes) Did not pay him to damage and not honor what he clearly messed up. I really believe he did that because I told him I would purchase my tires somewhere else, Because his price was way over charged. Beware lady's being taken advantage of. Not a business i would reccomend. And if you do go there have your work check by someone else because they are not very reputable.

Not only did he solve the issue but one of his amazing mechanics, Levi, showed me a trick so I wouldn't have the problem again. Excellent, professional and quick service and VERY reasonable. It would have been triple or more had I been home and taken it to the dealership. If you live anywhere near Redding or are traveling through, this is the place to take your ride and get ANY repairs, oil changes, etc done! Honesty and quality auto service is difficult to come by but D & L Motorsports has that integrity that's lacking in the automotive shops. A+++ I highly recommend D & L Motorsports! Easy to get to.

Since I roll up and down 1-5 at 70mph mostly, I was heading for a deadly blowout. Frankly I feel like his careful care saved my life. So I get to enjoy both my loved cars.

He gives great advice, spends the time to explain things clearly so I understand, and is very thorough. He really knows his stuff and he's never steered me wrong as he keeps me on the road running smooth. I trust him fully and would have nobody else work on my vehicles and I 100% recommend him and his shop. They're top-notch.

But as luck would have it we were a few blocks from California Transmissions and I was able to limp my Chevy Z71 in on the transfer case. (4WD, locked in first gear) It was Saturday afternoon and "Frank" was up to his elbows in another transmission. He listened to my sob story and quoted a fair price for a complete rebuild. We left my truck with him and his help gave us a ride to Enterprise for a rent-a-dent. Monday afternoon I returned my rental and hung out in the shop while Frank installed my rebuilt transmission. Let me tell you, this is not shade tree mechanic's work. I was impressed by the skill and professional integrity I was privy to. The shop floor may be a mess, but the work coming out of it is first class. We live on a mountain top outside of Weaverville and we'd have been stranded this winter without our 4WD truck. Thanks to California Transmissions we haven't missed a beat.
