I advised that I can buy the same parts at Autozone for much less with a lifetime warranty. They then stated that they will not warranty the labor if I buy the same parts from the same establishment!! They are obviously price gouging on parts! Beware!! (The price difference is about $200.00)

Five-Hundred miles from home, we got the tow-truck and the driver suggested A-1 Transmissions as the place to get help. We met Matt who immediately came across as wanting to help but also told us he was quite backed up. He said, however, that'd he'd try to get us a diagnosis as soon as possible. To our surprise, the diagnosis was completed in only a few hours. The part we needed (shift controller) would have to ordered, then programmed for our vehicle. We decided to rent a car and go home and wait. Matt kept to his estimated schedule for the repair and also, to-the-penny on his estimated cost. We drove the rental car back to Santa Fe to pick up our car, but after test driving Matt said that he was sorry but there was additional damage inside transmission that they had missed The controller was definitely bad, and the fluid inspection had indicated no internal problem ... but there was an internal mechanical failure. To be clear, I don't fault the shop for the diagnosis. Here's why ... as a former mechanic myself I would have made the same diagnosis. When it was discovered, the best course of action is just to replace the whole transmission. Matt put us in touch with a distributor in California and got us his very best price on a replacement transmission. Then, he let us order it directly ... no middle-man markup. Now, we had to return home and come back once the transmission was received and installed. Another thousand miles round trip and rental car. When the car was finished, Matt went a long way to help us out with the expense of the replacement and I felt as though he went way above and beyond in his customer service to us. It was a huge challenge to have a major transmission failure while on a road trip but I could not have asked for a more supportive shop than A-1. I also wanted to mention that I am very impressed by Matt's technical knowledge and obvious level of familiarity through experience. To summarize, we had a one-star kind of night with a broken car in a strange town and Matt turned that into a five-star experience with his shop. Everything about our situation was handled professionally and with utmost courtesy. He called us when he said he would, he always came to the phone to talk to me when I called him and he remembered us by name after two weeks' time gone by. The car came home 500 miles as our "test" drive. It worked flawlessly; actually it was better than the original transmission. So yes, I recommend Matt and A-1 should you need transmission work. I might go so far as to say go out of your way to use that shop.

Carlos Delgado De La O, the owner, installed the parts, fixed the A/C, and handled a number of other tricky problems I've brought to him since then. Carlos is a highly skilled mechanic who takes the time to stay up to date on both new and old vehicles and is able to accurately identify what is wrong and how to fix it. Through Napa (and perhaps other sources) he is able to get the right parts quickly. Although he is busy, he has always completed my repairs promptly and on-schedule. I have been very impressed with his care in doing his best to keep costs reasonable for his clients and in recommending cost-effective options. He provides written estimates, explaining them and the proposed repairs so that anyone could understand. His final bill to me has always been as estimated (or less). He goes above and beyond for his clients on so many levels. I totally trust his honesty as well as his skill - he'll be my mechanic for life!
