Had a great experience with Green Transmissions. Heard great feedback from others about this shop and decided to call them up since I needed transmission work done. Spoke to Kyu and was very informative about the process from the the get go. Had my civic towed in, Kyu was very communicative, gave me updates when he could, and he even completed the job earlier than expected. Went over the breakdown on what he did, gave me a 40,000 mile warranty, and left his shop feeling very confident about the work done. Thank you Kyu for the great experience and I will make sure to send others your way. Sincerely, Ron V. read more

Just an update. 255k and over 60k miles since I put transmission in about over six years ago. Transmission is running well still and it's given me confidence to spend more money on this , now , 19 year old car. I updated the front suspension and the cars like new. Thanks kyu. The best transmission specialist ever. read more

Is this shop still in business? My husband and I had a great experience getting a transmission rebuilt here a few years ago, but now that it's time for it to be serviced, we can't get ahold of anyone to schedule an appointment. We've called many times over the last few weeks - no one answers the phone or calls back, and no one has responded to messages left through the website. Please reach out to me! read more

Kyu is a stand-up guy, very knowledgable and friendly, and takes the time to understand the issues your transmission might have. He and his team are precision craftsmen who will get the work done quickly and done correctly. On top of that, I was updated at every milestone they'd reach. And if there were other issues that came up, they were explained and quoted, and I was asked how I wanted to proceed. I had explained engine oil would go missing with no visible leaks after some driving, which ended up being a seal hidden behind the transmission. This was quickly rectified. When I originally called, the shop was super busy so I had to set an appointment for drop off and scheduled a start date and timeframe. But once the work was started, it was completed very quickly. Early, even. Upon pick-up, we went on a test drive and Kyu thoroughly explained the inner workings of my newly rebuilt transmission, and even gave advice on recommended driving habits that would increase the longevity of the new clutch and synchros. The warranty is very good, which means I can have piece of mind that this shop stands by it's work. Should anything go wrong, I was invited to bring the car back to have it inspected. This is a great shop with outstanding service. I highly recommend you give this place a call. It will be worth your time and money. read more

Green Transmissions - Newly rebuilt and cleaned transmission about to go back into the car - Transmission Repair Near Me - Covina, California

A little overdue since I had work done on my car 11/8/2020, but better late than never and its well deserved! I was recommended to this place by a fellow Yelper when I was looking for a transmission shop that specialized in Hondas. I was looking for someone to swap in a JDM Euro R transmission into my 2008 Acura TSX as well as install a new DC5 Exedy OEM clutch, DC5 ACT Streetlite flywheel, and EM1 clutch master cylinder. From the very first call, there was no doubt that their customer service was second to none. I spoke with the owner Kyu and explained the details of the work I wanted done to my car. It felt like a full fledged consultation. We were on the phone for about 15 minutes while Kyu meticulously went through all the details of the install, including asking me about which parts I was bringing, double checking if the parts I had were compatible with my car, and even expressed a concern he had with the light weight flywheel that I didn't even think of. It was very apparent that Kyu was very well versed in Hondas. The day I brought my car into the shop I was running a little late and I received a text from Kyu asking if I was still on my way. This guy is a machine when it comes to scheduling. Since Green is always busy, he likes to have cars come in a day early so that the next day he can immediately get to work on it, which I really appreciated. During the installation, Kyu kept me very up to date on the progress of the install. He would not only send me texts, but he also sent me pictures of the install as they went along. This gave me that much more confidence in the shop. While they were completing the install, I had a broken transmission mount that Kyu notified me of right away and told me how much it would cost if I wanted to fix it via text, so there were no surprises when I received the final bill later. When I went to go pick up my car, Kyu ran through each item of the bill and completed a walk around of the car with me. He popped my hood and voiced everything thing they did as well as all the difficulties they went through and how they solved those issues. We must've been in front of my car for a good 10 minutes or so. Again, Kyu is very detailed oriented! Per my request, he gave me all of the stock parts that were removed from the car as further proof that the work was completed. He showed me the broken transmission mount and showed how bad my stock clutch was. He then explained why my clutch pedal felt so terrible by showing me the severe wear on the clutch disk as well as the heat spots on my flywheel. After two and a half years of owning my car, my car finally drives how I like it! Its such a relief to have an enjoyable car to drive again and it couldn't have been possible without the help of Kyu at Green Transmissions. If you have a Honda or Acura that needs transmission work, don't bother looking anywhere else. read more

Kyu was very professional and courteous. I first called in to request an approximation for my problems and repairs. Most other mechanics wouldn't quote over the phone. He quoted me small problem vs big problems. It gives me a sense of what I'm looking at before I bring it in. He doesn't charge anything to take a look at the car with the Acura code reader. Super nice and transparent. He's very fair honest about each parts replaced and without asking he put the "old parts" in a box to let you know what he replaced. Or how else will you know that it has been replaced. Super cool! Will refer everyone that has Honda transmission to Green Transmission. Look for Kyu, he will take care of you. read more

At Green Machine, you will find incredible service: honesty, courtesy, efficient and timely work, along with fair prices. During my first visit, Kyu helped me understand the issue with my car (bad torque converter), addressed the costs and laid out my options. I decided to bring my car back to have the transmission on my 2001 Honda Civic rebuilt and realized how diligent and fastidious he was, as he texted me additional problems the car had (broken front and rear motor mounts) with the pictures included. He even put the broken mounts in a bag for me to see and take with me. It was to my great relief that he was able to finish the job on the very day, as it was initially speculated that it would be completed the next day (he texted me). He also pointed out the areas that didn't need immediate attention and gave a 40k mile warranty for the transmission. His professionalism, work ethic, and timely effort exceeded my expectations. I will be returning and for those looking for a mechanic that is willing to level with you and all of the above, Kyu's Green Machine will be worth your visit. read more

We've taken every Honda/Acura we've owned to Kyu for many years. Very different problems and he's honestly a good businessman. Whenever we have had to go in, he's thoroughly explained the issues and costs associated. Usually when it comes to your car.. the price can be a heart breaker. However he's always been reasonable and fair with what he charges. Green Transmission is located in an small plaza with plenty of on site and street parking. The waiting room for customers is clean and looks like it's had some thought put into it. It is not just a side room with a few chairs. They've set up a few things to keep you occupied while you wait. If you take a look around, there are items posted all around to show you what they use on your car like OEM Honda fluids and parts. That is definitely not something every mechanic/transmission shop will use to save themselves a buck. Whenever it comes to repairing a vehicle it is always a big investment. So the overall experience with your mechanic needs to involve trust that the work will be done honestly and in a timely manner. I feel that Green Transmission has exceeded that expectation on every single car I've taken in. read more

I don't do enough reviews. But this experience needs to be known. I was referred to Green transmissions from a friend. Wow, am I thankful. They are professional, courteous, friendly, fast, through and competitively priced. Kyu, the manager is definitely on the ball. He communicated very well and did exactly what he said. I highly recommend Green Transmission to anyone who has a Honda or Acura. read more

This place deserves 10 stars. I needed my transmission rebuilt on my 2004 Honda Odyssey. I picked Green transmission over a couple other mechanics for Kyu's friendliness and expertise. I haven't met many business people as passionate, skilled, and thorough as he is. He met the deadline I needed, with time to spare. He showed me a breakdown of transmission parts and what function each piece served. Then he explained to me what may need to be replaced and why so that I had a good understanding of the procedure. While in progress, he texted me photos and videos of my transmission parts and explained where he was at in the process. After I picked it up, he kept in touch with me to make sure it continued to run well. I drove a few thousand miles on a road trip (over the next week) with no problems. He also provided me with great general advice on how to best maintain my van. Rebuilding a transmission isn't cheap so I wanted to know the mechanic I hired could get the job done well. I have been very happy with the service I received. He has gone above and beyond my expectations. I wish other businesses ran their place like Kyu does! read more

Kyu was very communicative! Updated me with everything they found in my car that needed replacement. They rebuilt my transmission and replaced my motor/trans mounts. My car shifts like butter now.

Green Transmissions - Transmission Repair Near Me - Covina, California

This was by far one of THE most POSITIVE experience I've ever had with a mechanic. I bought a car from a friend that needed transmission repair and thought this was the perfect time to get it done since im staying home. I called around and the other mechanic I made an appointment turned me away. Green transmissions was pleasant on the phone, and fast! (They got us in within half an hour.) The car inspection was complete within two hours and the staff was knowledgeable, honest about the services rendered (which were very fairly and reasonably priced) and gave us great advice about our new car. Kyu, the owner, was awesome to talk to and took his time getting to know us. My car was done in literally 1 day and is working great! read more

If you need to fix your Honda/Acura transmission, this is THE PLACE TO GO! I initially found it on craigslist and then came to yelp for reviews. This place rebuilt my 2001 Honda Odyssey transmission within a day (amazing, think about the amount of work required) and installed an optional tranny cooler (highly recommended!). The transmission is shifting butter smooth, it literally feels like a new Honda again. No hesitation, no slipping, no check engine lights, no drama. Their work also includes a 40,000 miles, unlimited time, warranty! Kyu is extremely knowledgeable and honest. I'm fairly mechanically savvy and I can tell that he is one of those detailed oriented "get it right the first time" kind of person. That's the kind of specialist you want when you're dealing with transmissions. He explained the parts that might need replacement (which made total sense, i had done some prior research online) and only replaced the parts that truly needed replacement. In other words, he's extremely honest and doesn't overcharge you for parts you don't need. How rare is that nowadays. He also checked other things not directly related to the transmission at no charge and kindly informed me that my front rotors were pretty worn down (I didn't know, shame on me), but didn't push to sell me anything. He simply informed me. The pricing was fantastic (as good as the other competitor on craigslist who had previously done other work in my Acura TL... it was okay, nowhere as good as Green Transmissions), but the quality of work here is absolutely outstanding. The shop also does full flushes (9+ qts) for a rate similar to what dealerships charge for simply "drain and fill" (3-4 qts). I'll definitely be back every 40-50k for the full flushes. The waiting room has a large comfortable sofa, vending machine, a racing game and is air conditioned; it's a very good and clean waiting area. This shop has earned my business for life. read more

Green Transmissions - 2001 Honda Odyssey, transmission rebuilt + new torque converter + transmission cooler (not pictured). - Transmission Repair Near Me - Covina, California

Easily the best experience I've had with a transmission shop. Had to take one of my cars (Acura MDX) with a failing transmission. Kyu, the owner, gave me great information over the phone. Scheduled an appointment, brought the car and received a break down on why/how these factory transmissions are prone to fail, which was very much appreciated by me. The deadline promised by Kyu was spot on. I received text messages with photos and updates frequently. The vehicle was finished on time, and it drives absolutely perfect now. Thank you again to Kyu and Green Transmission. Definitely a release customer from now on. read more

I've taken a little longer than I should have but I'm am super ecstatic about how smooth my car rides after Khu and his team brought my car back to life.

Green Transmission is by far the best and honest shop I have ever used. I drive over an hour to bring my car here. Q the owner walks you through the whole process and explains everything he does.

I was referred to this shop by an Acura technician in the area who mentioned the shop specialized in transmission repairs for Honda and Acura. My 2008 Acura MDX was having a transmission error / check engine reading P0848. I was concerned that the transmission repair was going to be costly as my vehicle mileage reached over 123K. I immediately decided to visit Green Transmissions and met with the owner Kyu who was very helpful and attentive. This was a Saturday morning and I dis not have any appointment. Kyu went into his office and looked up the error code right away and from his findings he told me it was for pressure sensors. He was also very informative and showed me exactly the scope of the repair from looking at the engine diagram. He also provided an accurate quote for the genuine parts and his labor which I found to be fair. I felt he had knowledge in his work and requested he order the parts and made the appointment to return for the job. Upon my return I decided to sit in his waiting area which was comfortable and kept neat. While I watched some tv and caught up in my emails. After about an hour or so my vehicle was ready and nothing had changed in the final cost from the original quote. Kyu also test drove the vehicle to verify the vehicle was driving well and there was no issues to report. He also informed me to run the vehicle on a 20 minute trip and report back if there was any problems. So far the vehicle is running great and I am happy with his service and pricing. Will surely use his services again or refer other Honda and Acura owners to him. Thanks Kyu and keep up the great work. read more

Called Green Transmissions for a quote on a new transmission and man, Kyu let me know everything about my car, the transmission, what they can do for me and the guarantee (40K miles) that comes with their transmission work! No mechanic I had talked to prior was as up front about all the details on the process and what I may be facing, so felt assured Green Transmissions was the right choice. My Honda Accord was fixed up quickly and with full transparency on the work done. Was sent pictures of my car and the progress. Months later, needed to get some air filters in to pass smog, called all around my area and not many mechanics really seemed to have the same knowledge as "Q" and his crew, ended up making the drive back out to them and was quickly on the road again!!! It's been a success each time with this company and now, I just call them first to avoid any headache or hassle. If you're looking to get ANYTHING done on your car, call Q first and gather your info, no one else will educate you the same. Seriously, can not recommend these guys enough! Call 'em. read more

My boyfriend called around a lot and looked at reviews on Yelp when seeking someone to troubleshoot and likely rebuild his Honda transmission. Although this place is an hour away, it was half the price as local shops, and has awesome reviews. Well, he made the trek, had the work done, and they did not disappoint! These guys are true experts. They did great work, texted pictures and progress notes, and were finished in 2 days! Highly recommend this shop. read more

I just had the transmission on my mdx rebuilt at green transmissions. The service there is incredible. They say you can get fast service, good quality work or a good price but you only get two of the three. Green transmissions is an exception to the rule. You get all three! I don't usually leave yelp reviews but I was so happy with there customer I felt compelled to let other people know. Kyu will walk you through the process and give you detailed updates through the whole rebuild. It's easy to see why his yelp reviews are so good. read more

Long over due review and gratitude to Kyu. He went above and beyond to help us with our 2006 Honda Odyssey. He is very honest, reliable and thorough. I would recommend this business and would give 5+ stars. read more

Honest and high-quality work. They'll get it done right the first time. I'm sure there are other good shops out there, but you won't find anyone better. They are specialists in Honda/Acura transmissions and know them better than the dealer. Turnaround time was also remarkably just 1 day, as initially stated. Dropped the car off the night before at closing time, and it was ready the next afternoon. Grade A service. Grade A knowledge. Grade A customer service. read more

I was referred by my brother who told me about the quality work of this shop. Upon my arrival at the scheduled appointment I met the owner "Q" who gave a very good first impression in the order; friendly, gathered information, inspection, assessment of vehicle, and honest quote. What made Q stand out is that he takes his own time to keep myself informed about transmissions in general and I honestly felt like I learned a little more about transmissions and prolonging its longevity. When you have your vehicle in Q's possession he really takes the extra mile and provides you with transparent details and updates of your build with picture messages of the progress. I do not know any other shops that would even provide that little valuable detail. It just assured me as a customer that my car is in quality care. Thank you Q and your team for making this experience feel what a "class" shop should feel like. read more

First off this review is long overdue! I received the best of the best, "hands down ", service by taking my Acra TL 2006 to Kyu at Green Transmissions! My car began having issues in January 2014; slipped and gear shifting was rough. I would go to all these local mechanics and even my Acura dealership to try and diagnose what the root of cause was, BUT kept getting shady people trying to lure me in their shop by using fear tactics on me. I'm a single mom and use my car regularly for work in real estate, school, and other commuting needs. .. basically use my car crazy to maintain my lifestyle. My car is everything to me and I don't trust just any Joe working on my baby. However, after finding Kyu on Yelp and reading his reviews, I decided to call him and inquire on service. Kyu is professional, courteous, patient and knowledgeable in his industry. In fact, many dealerships actually contact him to fix their customer issues. So I totally felt thankful and relieved to have found him and his staff. I made an appointment to go, and didn't have a working car to get there, but Kyu got a tow truck service to bring it in. He kept the car for only 2 days and when I came to pick it up, he took the time to educate me on what they did, and showed me what the issues were. He provided a warranty and checked up on my car and me like a week after he fixed it. I love Green transmission and Kyu's staff for helping me with my car and saving so much $$$$ . Every other mechanic shop quoted $4k or more. So ridiculous! Since, he rebuilt my transmission last February 2014 I haven't had a single problem. I'll be returning to Kyu in couple weeks but for an inspection and to have my transmission fuel drained and filled. I can't wait to see Kyu and his staff and can't praise them enough! So if you need to invest in transmission rebuild or related issue, please trust me when I say don't hesitate to call them. You'll regret it if you go elsewhere! Happy Yelping, Monique read more

A+++ GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Had my 2002 Honda civic LX transmission rebuilt here. Quick turn around time and good quality work. I called 3 other shops and was quoted a lot higher and would take a lot longer to fix. So he definitely has the best prices in town! (Don't waste your time calling other shops!) Another trustworthy quality about Kyu was he educates you and takes the time to break it down in laymen's terms. If you're like me, typical mechanics will use that car jargon which just adds on to stress and anxiety, but knowing the diagnosis and educating me through the processes of what the next steps should be really eases all the headache. He's very honest and you can tell he's not the type to rip you off. I can't emphasize enough the EXCELLENT customer service!! read more

Green Transmission is the place to go for all your mechanical needs. Kyu and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. Kyu has a wealth of knowledge and will spend the time to go over each and every detail your car demands. I came to GT needing a tranny but also ended up doing a timing belt job, front brakes and motor mount. All this work was done in 2 days!!! Again, in 2 days. Most places will keep your car for a week. GT has a warranty of 40k on their tranny!!! Also unheard of. The warranty sincerely validates the workmanship of GT. Kyu goes above and beyond. Thank you again for your superb work.

Kyu is a Master! That's the title I give to someone who is tops in their field. My son bought his first car, an immaculate 2001 Honda Accord, after our mechanic who is in Orange County inspected it. His recommendation was to have the transmission fluid changed, so I Yelped to find a local transmission shop. It was important to find a good mechanic as my son was getting ready to drive across country. The reviews for Green Transmissions were outstanding, so I called and spoke to Kyu (pronounced "Q"). It was clear he was extremely knowledgeable and he took the time to explain that changing the fluid is a flush (the car dealer advised against a flush) that is fine as opposed to a machine flush that forces the fluid through the transmission. Kyu asked about the fluid color and gave his honest opinion. Fortunately his shop was close by and we went Friday morning. Kyu's shop is clean and comfortable. It even includes a miniature (yet quite large) leather car seat for kids on the floor set up with a steering wheel and gear shift placed in front of a wide monitor showing a very realistic video game with cars on the road - too cute! He came out and checked the fluid. Thankfully Kyu's assessment was that it was not too bad. He recommended a cooler be added for the trip. Since we have a 2003 Honda Odyssey, I asked him to check the fluid which he did, and also gave his assessment (we did have to have the transmission replaced a few years ago in another state on that vehicle). We left the Accord with an expected pick-up time in a couple of hours. Kyu said he'd text when it was ready. I was surprised in just over an hour to get Kyu's text saying the work had been done, the fluid was now a good red color and the car was ready. Early evening Kyu sent a text asking to keep him posted and let him know when they arrive, wishing them a safe trip -- how awesome! We have no doubt where we will go if we have any transmission issues. It is wonderful to have a mechanic who is so knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. read more

Kyu ( Q), a mechanic, with an old soul and awesome customer service skills! Kyu is good with diagnostic / problem solving skills. He has been working on my cars for some years and has done, engine mount replacements, 2 clutches (different cars), fan belt, brakes, oil changes, exhausts, etc. I'm pretty sure he can do anything, however, he has found his niche with transmissions. I visit from time-to-time and he seems to be doing well. I admire his ambition as a small business owner and proud he's doing what he loves. He leads a small team of men and they're always busy. He has a solid work ethic and it shows. Most importantly, Kyu's fair, honest, easy to communicate with and I'm always satisfied with the service. read more

Kyu, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to show me how the transmission worked and what the problem was with mine. The turn around time was 1 day and I had my car back. I would highly recommend Green Transmissions! Thanks again! read more

Kyu was very friendly and very knowledgeable. It seems like it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth the drive for quality work. A sensor in my transmission malfunctioned, so he replaced it with an OEM part. After he road tested it, there was a malfunction, but that was because I had made the mistake of not using a funnel. He cleaned the ports and my car was ready to go. read more
