Ameer and his brother fixed my transmission when I was in a bind and needed to get home to Boston. They were honest, respectful and stayed true to their time frame. They were always available by phone if I wanted to check in on the process. They gave me an honest value. I felt confident in their work and ethics from the time I dropped off my car. I would recommend them with my highest regards. read more

Ameer was kind and super helpful to me. My car broke down on the GW Bridge, and I had it towed to Ideal Transmission. Ameer was very communicative, and the next morning when they looked at it he was honest, straightforward and gave an accurate diagnosis. The engine was fried, so they couldn't finally help me, but Ameer helped me get another tow truck to get the car out to Long Island, brainstormed with me various things I could do to rectify the vehicle situation, and overall went above and beyond for me. Personally, I would go back to Ideal anytime, even just to chat with Ameer and have a cup of coffee. read more

please do not take your vehicle to this place. They had my car for eight weeks. Never fix the problem. Call Car shield and got paid three weeks before we got the car and never did the work. He forged our name to get paid and then screwed up the job anyway it's back in another shop, please do not use this person. He is a liar and a thief. read more

Basically coerced me, scammed and and stole my car. I came in to get an estimate on a transmission. I left the car because the mechanic told me he'd take a look at it. When I can back to get the car the next day the transmission had been taken out of the car. This is what the manager told me: " we can put the transmission back I. For $750 without fixing it , or $3200 to fix the transmission" I told them I just wanted an estimate and had not given anyone permission to do any work on the car. Basically almost got into a fist fight with the manager, my family involved. To wrap up the story u was forced to sell him the car for $500 because he wouldn't return it and I didn't have the money to get it fixed. When I think of people saying that mechanics are thief's . This is yo ur prime example. I cannot believe that they got away with this , hopefully someone will see this. Anyone that goes to ideo transmission, you've been warned SCAMMERS, SHADY, THIEVES , FRAUDULENT , dirtbags if the words I would use to describe them. Hope they get shut down but doubt it. Hope they set this too. read more

This is real review from a real person. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE. Had car towed here because my transmission went. Was supposed to have it ready Thursday March 17th by 5pm. Paid the $4179.00 earlier that afternoon so we could just go pick it up and leave. At 5 pm we get a call that car was not ready because mechanic didn't want to finish the work that day. Car was picked up March 22nd. When we picked it up, the front seat was stained with grease, the hood full of grease, carpeting full of grease and when confronted , the so called owner named "Ameer" saw nothing, heard nothing and knew nothing. Don't let their oh so friendly website fool you. They are negligent and will not accept responsibility for any damage caused by HIS EMPLOYEES while in their "care". Do yourself a favor and take your business to someone reputable and responsible read more

Being a women it is not easy to deal or communicate with car salesman, auto mechanics, & Auto body shops etc.. They always try to take advantage. Like when the car salesman told me " you have to drive the car for the A/C to kick on" REALLY !!!! He thought I was that stupid. At Ideal Transmission Lodi, NJ isn't wasn't like that at all, Ameer & Robert were a complete pleasure to work with. They communicated with me everyday. They even went out of their way to call the tow truck driver and stay with him on the phone until he got to their shop. I would recomend this place to everyone !!! read more

I took my Jeep there for an engine replacement. That Ameer lied and lied over and over again that they replaced the engine. They did not. After driving the truck for a month the Jeep broke down and had to be towed to a mechanic. Upon the other shop checking out the engine to see why it broke down we were told that the ENGINE had never been replaced and that the engine was leaking OIL in the back engine. The oil was BLACK!! I made a complaint with the better business bureau and will be suing AMEER and his brother from IDEAL TRANSMISSION in court. These two and this company are not professionals. They took my money and money from the Warranty company. DO NOT USE IDEAL TRANSMISSIONS. read more

I got stuck with this place after my warranty company (PWI) refused to fix my transmission at the dealership. Granted, I know Mercedes was gouging, but PWI said they'd only pay $4000 of a $10000(!) transmission replacement. My vehicle was only 7-8 years old at this point with 100k highway miles. PWI said they'd do it for nothing out of pocket save my $100 deductible. Of course, I agreed. Ameer was really quick to arrange to pick my truck up from the dealer in Union due to the fact that he is in Lodi and I live 45 minutes away. Alright, so the first sign I knew something was wrong was when he told me, "don't worry I unplugged your car tracker for you." WHY? He promised to plug it back in and never did. This was right before Christmas. I was off work and had another car, so didn't pay much attention to the silence from Ameer. I called him after New Year, at which point he'd had my truck for two weeks, and he promised me it'd be done in a week. He promised to drop it off and a week later, he never showed. There was an issue with his girlfriend in Virginia. Okay, so he couldn't drop it off. I agreed to get a ride out to pick it up in Lodi because he said it "drove like a dream." When I get there, his brother Robert was there and was an awesome guy. Gave me my keys, apologized that he had no time to clean it, took my $100 deductible, and gave me the keys. My truck looked like it had been sprayed with dirt; I couldn't believe how filthy it was. One of the tires was almost flat. So I fill up the tire and start to drive home. Something is totally not right. The problem that led to me being told I needed a new transmission (rumbling on slow turns) was totally still there! I hadn't noticed until I was almost home because there was nothing but straight highway to my house. Needless to say, I called Ameer and told him something was wrong. He agreed to come pick it up again, from my house this time, and personally handle the repair. This is when the real nightmare began. He took my vehicle back on Saturday, January 19. I'm getting so frustrated thinking about the ordeal, that I don't feel like I have the energy to type anymore, so here's the short(est) story, as condensed as I can make it. Maybe I'll just throw in the quick facts: 1) He unplugged my tracker again. Said, "sorry I'll have them plug it in ASAP." Plugged it in sporadically (see #2) 2) When I got the truck back AT THE END OF APRIL, yes, he had it for three agonizing months, there were almost 400 more miles on it than I had given it to him with. They were using it and unplugging and replugging the tracker, which my app notified me of. When they did forget to unplug it, I saw a trip to New York and various trips around that area. 3) He called me, ONE TIME, over the three months he had my truck. I called him around 25 times. Most of the time, he wouldn't answer nor call me back. When I did get him on the phone, he always had a new reason that my car wasn't ready. Starting with around a month after he had originally promised the truck, here are a few of the excuses he came up with as to why he couldn't bring my truck back: he got extremely sick. He had my truck fixed but then something new went wrong. He was waiting for parts. I can't make this stuff up. I couldn't believe a person like this exists. Bear in mind that I'd call multiple times before I'd actually get him on the phone, so along with the delays built in to his excuses, I was only able to reach him around once a week. 4) At one point around two months in, when I was totally fed up, Robert assured me that he'd handle it from that point. Inexplicably, Ameer called me right away with a new sob story (honestly can't remember that one) and promised my car in a week (his default amount of time until the next round of not answering followed by a new excuse). 5) Finally, when I involved PWI, he "swore to God" that he would bring the truck back on April 19 and didn't show, wouldn't answer calls. I called PWI. He called right away and said he had been hospitalized due to a car accident but would still be able to bring it April 23. No show. I was so worn out. Magically, my truck appeared at home on the 25th, STILL BROKEN!! Ameer said he didn't believe me. I took a video of the rumbling noise and sent it to him. He said to give him another chance and that he would eat the cost and bring it to Englewood Mercedes for repair. I'm totally fired up just thinking about it. I was incredulous. I told him that he was a crook and I hoped PWI stopped doing business with him. PWI told me that they had multiple complaints about him for identical issues that I had reported to them, in detail. Great. I took my busted truck and traded it in for $7500 because I was so over the ordeal after four months without my truck. I know, all my friends couldn't believe how long I waited and how much I let this guy get away with, but I was busy with work and kind of held hostage by this guy. STAY AWAY. You've been warned. read more

My car battery died in front of my house and I felt helpless. Everywhere I called wouldn't respond or gave me a ridiculous waiting time and I needed to get to work. I found ideal transmission online and realized they were around the corner! The owner was so kind to drive to my house to restart my battery. He was kind and patient! I appreciate them so much! read more
