Over time I have developed the opinion that repairs at the dealership are overpriced and under skilled; especially if you know where to go instead. I needed specialized troubleshooting with sensor problems on my vehicle. Ace Transmission got my problem fixed for what I consider a very reasonable price. This is a legacy and family owned business, and I am pleased to have received such good service. I would definitely use this place again.

Where do I even begin? This business is garbage. They charged my teenage son over $2,000 to install…read morea used/warrantied transmission while he was 6.5 hours away from home. They had the vehicle for 2 weeks before telling him it was repaired and ready to pick up. My son flew to Corpus Christi to retrieve his car, only to find out it still wasn't fixed and shifting correctly. He ended up stranded overnight, spending an additional $860 replacing the battery, alternator, & fuses, hoping the transmission wasn't the issue. His dad had to drive 6 hours to get him and the car. They continue to not take accountability for the mistake and lack of following through to ensure the transmission was working as it should. The laziness on their part cost us at least $4600 total and the car still isn't fixed. Their only response is "we offered to rebuild but you declined and chose a used transmission", and they want us to once again go out of our way and take the car 6.5 hours back south so they can fix the mistake they made. They might have installed the transmission but they failed miserably at the most important task of making sure that the car was repaired and safe for my son to drive. Don't waste your time or money on these idiots! And report them to the BBB if you've been duped, too!

These guys really are the best and I am SO glad my transmission failed me in Corpus. I had the transmission go on my Lexus and with the good reviews I had it towed there for an estimate. Not only did they fix it perfectly but they offer a 3yr 75000 warranty (including parts and labor) which is much longer and better than most. The Lexus dealer was going to be more expensive and have a shorter warranty. They put it all back together and its running like a top! Plus I LOVE that the do all the rebuild work onsite... buying a rebuilt transmission from an unknown source is not a good idea and brand new OEM ones are very expensive. These guys seemed very honest and great to work with!

When I first called for an appointment and asked for the cost of a Service B I got "It depends" and no amount. I went to this location specifically for a transmission flush, but they were unable to flush it and didn't call me to tell me that. All their costs are very high. I was charged $175 for 4 spark plugs. Their labor costs are extremely high. Get a full written detailed estimate BEFORE you let them work on your car and make them stick to it. I didn't and boy do I regret it.

I took my car to this guy in August he said it could be done in a week. It took me three weeks to get it back! I drove it to work one night and when I went out on break found that it would not shift and the car would not even start! He came and picked it up after 2 days another couple of weeks to get it back. Has not driven right since then. Here we are in January and he has it because it kept clunking as it changed gears. Then he calls me up on Saturday afternoon and wants me to come up with more money. This from a place that didn't let me know that he takes credit cards until my car was taken apart! DO NOT USE!! Melanie Martinez 1 review a year ago Horrible experience. My sister had her transmission fixed here and had to return it twice due to leaking fluid. The second time they promised the car would be returned the same day. It wasn't. After 3 days of ignoring her calls and texts, the car was in her driveway when she got home from work. No call no text. Terrible customer service. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. Cheaper price doesn't mean quality service. It has been a total of a month dealing with these people. *Oh...and it is still leaking. mohammed viquar younus a year ago Don't ever go to this mechanic. I believe he did something very bad to the car. The car is not at all fixed. They just take the cars showing that they know the problem. They do nothing except keeping the car at the garage. They don't pick the calls, says some bullshit stories and keep delaying. Gave my car after two weeks although they said they are gonna give the car very next day. They are just making money by deceiving people. They are crooked, not authorized. Don't take card payments which shows that they are thief's. Sundy Leisher 1 review a year ago DANGER! If your vehicle is important to you, do NOT take it here. Alex ducked our calls and in-person visits for three weeks while we tried to find out information about my husband's truck. Broken contracts and broken promises. He said it would be done in a few days. When he finally returned it, we promised a decent review if at least the transmission was fixed properly. It's still broken. Avoid this shop! James Alaniz 1 review a year ago Horrible place... Alex promised my truck would be done in a week after I had paid him. It took me 3 months to get my truck back just to have the clutch worked on. The truck wasn't fixed correctly and he refused to show me any receipts for the parts he claimed to have bought. During the time of my truck being under his supervision after claiming to have security cameras my battery was stolen, my steering column was cut open, my carpet was ripped out all around the clutch, my tool box was stolen, there was words in carving all along my door panel and the bed of my truck was being used for trashed car parts and beer cans along with old tires. I do not recommend this place Alex does all the business his dad is just the face of the shop and cover up for all the lies of Alexs shady business. He replaced a battery i bought from autozone with a car not a truck a car battery from interstate battery and the truck ran worse then when i first took it in for their service. Unfortunately i still had to give it a star even though its not deserved.

I drive a 2003 Dodge Dakota 4x4 with 57000 original miles. it runs and shifts fine, I just want to get routine service on it when it hits 60000 and also wanted to have the 4x4 mechanism checked. The problem with this salesman who answered the phone is he wouldn't give me a straight answer. If that business does not have the expertise to do this work, he should have been honest enough to refer me to a more knowledgeable professional. I don't have time to get their $139.95 diagnostic that I don't need because it is just a routine maintenance issue which doesn't need an overpriced analysis, trying to get me to approve unnecessary work. Don't waste time and money with this place.
