    I had an engine leak, that I originally thought was a transmission leak, so I took my car to El…read moreMonte Transmission. They took a look at my car for free to identify the issue and they detected the leak to be coming from my engine and not my transmission. They showed me exactly what they were seeing, why they thought it was my engine and not my transmission, and offered to put a dye in my transmission fluid to ensure it was my engine and not my transmission. I drove my car for a week and took it back to double check, and sure enough it was my engine! Although they spent time and care on my car, they didn't charge me a single penny, even when I insisted to at least pay for the dye. They were able to refer me another mechanic to fix my engine leak and I was able to get my issue solved that same day. As a woman who is nervous to get work done on my car, I had an excellent time at El Monte Transmission. If you are having transmission troubles, please go to them :)

John & his team are professional, and very honest, & took the time to explain exactly what was going on with my Jeep's transmission. The repair was done by the exact day they promised, & my beloved Jeep is running smoother than ever (it's 23 years old btw) Pricing was extremely fair & I loved their solid workmanship, you can tell they take pride in what they do. I'll definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs transmission work! Thank you guys!!!

    Our family's Ford Explorer required a water pump replacement…read more I visited several local auto shops to obtain quotes and was shocked, disappointed, and discouraged at the prices I was being quoted for the work my vehicle required ($5,000-$7,500) Shame on me for not reading Yelp reviews before wasting my time visiting other auto shops. I read the many positive reviews for Hye-Tech Auto Repair and decided to visit them. Upon entering, I was greeted by John (owner) with a friendly, "Welcome, how may I help you?" I explained that my Ford Explorer needed a new water pump and a few other items that other auto shops had advised me would require repair or replacement. While John looked up a few items on the computer to provide me with a quote, he introduced me to his son, Harry, who happened to be in the office. Thirty seconds later, John provided a quote that was $3,500-$4,000 less than the other shops. I could not believe it. John explained that he makes his living and succeeds in his business through repeat customers, and he does not believe in gouging customers for every last penny. He also shared that when he retires, his son Harry will take over the business, and he wants to leave Harry with a solid foundation of loyal repeat customers. It was then that I knew I could trust John and his son Harry. John went on to explain that replacing the water pump on a Ford Explorer was a 10-12 hour job, as it was an internal pump requiring numerous engine parts to be removed to reach it. This was the same thing all the other shops advised me. John suggested that I leave my vehicle, and he would perform a full inspection of the engine and contact me before doing anything to it. I agreed and left my vehicle. The following day, I was contacted by John, who advised me that the water pump did indeed need to be replaced, as it was the source of the constant leaks of the water coolant. I left my vehicle in John's shop for three days. During this time, John or his son, Harry, contacted me numerous times to keep me updated on the progress of my vehicle and also to point out that mechanics had discovered two or three very inexpensive items (under $50.00) which they recommended replacing, which I agreed to have done. All in all, I was and am extremely impressed and satisfied with everything about this shop. I spent much less money to have five different issues repaired on my vehicle at Hye-Tech than what I was quoted to replace my water pump alone by every single shop I visited prior to coming to Hye-Tech. John and Harry are very friendly, honest, and trustworthy. They are also very knowledgeable and experienced, and they offer GREAT customer service and communication. This is my new go-to shop for any issues involving our family vehicles. Thank you, Hye-Tech Auto Repair, for a very positive experience.

    I opened a Yelp project to try to get my transmission serviced. The dealership wanted to charge me…read more$1300 for this service. Yelp projects are one of the best things I've ever experienced. It's nice to see you can get quotes at the touch of a button on your phone. This morning, I had time off, so I headed in to get my service done. I did not have an appointment and that did not seem to matter. I arrived first thing in the morning at 8 AM and ask if the service could be done. Harry was an exceptional young man, he took me in with no problems, no questions. He said they could do it this morning. I told him I would have to wait. He had no problem with that either. Prior to bring in the car in this morning, as I said, I used a yelp project and had several people reach out and give me quotes. After looking at all the yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. I am super happy that I did. This place is a hidden gem, excellence, service, quality, and value for what you receive. There are not very many shops where you could feel comfortable and put your trust in them. As I spent time in the lobby, I was able to see customer service on the phone and customer service entering the facility. Every customer that walked in, seem satisfied and was treated with dignity and respect. I highly recommend this place if you have any automotive questions whatsoever.

    I brought my 2013 Nissan Versa in for a second opinion because the dealership (where I thought my…read morenew transmission was under warranty) quoted $10,000 to replace the transmission AGAIN and replace a few other parts. Lee and Sam took the vehicle for a few hours and got it running again for a fraction of the price. They determined that the issue was not related to the transmission. Their willingness to listen, inspect, and be transparent was most striking. I'll definitely be back.

    SERIOUS CONSUMER WARNING - DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION TEARDOWN AFTER "REBUILD"…read more I brought my truck with its 4L80E transmission to this ATRA member shop for a full rebuild. The owner, Mr. Lee, stated he has 43 years of experience and that he personally performs all the rebuilds. I paid him $2,850 and supplied an additional estimated $1300 in quality brand new parts, which he inspected and agreed to install. For context, I have 20 years of experience working on vehicles and am a certified diesel mechanic. The main reason I brought the transmission to a shop was that I didn't have the space nor resources at the time to perform a full removal, installation, and rebuild myself. Communication was polite initially, and the owner appeared willing to work with the parts I supplied. He was also extremely fast and did the actual rebuild in half a day. The transmission failed three separate times within three weeks, requiring removal and reinstallation each time. After the third failure, I towed the truck home and completely disassembled it myself. During teardown and measurement, I documented multiple serious assembly and quality-control issues, including: -Wrong pump installed, despite being told no hard parts were changed -Intermediate clutch pack assembled with incorrect clutches, leaving clearance nearly three times outside specification (which can prevent the clutch from holding properly and lead to rapid failure) -Sun gear installed upside down, blocking a critical lubrication hole required to supply oil to internal components -Several worn bearings, steels, seals, and other components appeared not to have been replaced -Reverse band misadjusted to the point the output shaft would not rotate in any gear The FIRST failure was caused by a transmission fluid leak from an old 180k-mile pump bushing and seal that were not replaced. The SECOND failure was explained to me as transfer case and transmission cracking as soon as Mr. Lee shifted into Drive.. the shop claimed it was caused by my driveshaft despite it being the original factory driveshaft with new, unbound U-joints. The THIRD failure caused severe transmission overheating (never disclosed to me) during Mr. Lee's 5-mile test drive, with a claimed valve body diagnostic code that never appeared when I scanned the truck myself. Because this truck is critical for my cross-country towing work, I ultimately spent three months in very difficult circumstance personally performing a very slow but full transmission teardown in order to rebuild the transmission correctly. I have extensive photos and video documenting all findings of why this transmission had repeated failures in a span of three weeks. If proper assembly, reliability, and accountability matter to you, I strongly recommend choosing another shop.

    Exceptional service! I've brought my Jeep Wrangler here several times, and the quality of the work…read morehas always been outstanding. Their pricing is consistently fair--better than any shop I've used before (even ChatGPT agreed when I compared estimates!). What really sets this place apart, though, is the honesty and genuine care they show their customers. I never felt pressured into unnecessary repairs, and they even gave me a discount without me asking. It's rare to find a shop that's both highly skilled and truly trustworthy. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    Great service. I took my car here about a year ago to get a new used transmission put in. Repair…read morewas good and everything ran smooth. I had another unrelated problem, took it here, and they replaced a part and I was on my way. Fast forward a couple weeks and the same issue came back. I took it back here and they reviewed everything again and did some more tests and ended up fixing another part because it's not a common thing, but for my car it's a common issue to throw a check engine light for one part but needing to replace another part as well. Instead of charging me for the service/diagnosis again like other shops or dealerships would do, Mike only charged me to replace the second part. More recently, I was installing a new aftermarket radio in my car and when I went to turn it on, I threw a check engine light/code and the car was struggling to crank. I towed it here and Mike and his team figured out the problem that same day. The issue wasn't anything crazy, it was because I forgot to plug in a certain part, which I thought only had to do with the a/c (stupid mistake on my end). Mike didn't charge me for the diagnosis, even though most shops would or they would make things up to charge you for it. This shop is very honest and has fair to good pricing. Very reliable and easy to work with. Definitely a lifetime customer.

    Absolutely the most honest, low priced, thorough, quality oriented auto mechanics I have ever used…read more Let me convince you to take your car here! If its a clunker, they will give new life to it. Who needs a new car and all those monthly payments! Let me explain. This is the third time I have taken my cars here. The first two times (read my earlier reviews), repairs were made, they threw in some extras (FOR FREE!!), and the cars run great! Also, the price was so much lower than others I thought they made a mistake. Nope, the price was correct and much less than others. This latest repair on 6/26/2026, was for my 2003 Honda Accord EX. The photo of the invoice will show all the repairs they made (water pump, timing belt, etc.) They also noticed other items and addressed, and did a free oil change! Crazy huh! When did you ever get anything free from a car repair shop, except a free headache when you get the bill! No headache from them. Excellent service. Terrific price. HONEST MECHANICS! Afterward, I confirmed with CHATGPT (artificial intelligence) what was done: price, repairs, etc. The answer was all good and verified they did everything they were supposed to do, along with a excellent price for the area. Trust me, and give them a try! Look at all those great reviews. Previously I interfaced with David. This time it was Monte. They were both wonderful.

He asked me about my issue and took the car for a short drive, he came back and gave me a quote. I liked that he explained everything to me about what he saw and what needed to be replaced. I felt like he was being genuine. Since they did not have my parts available that day I made an appointment for a few days later. When I returned to get the work done, he showed me the new parts and again explained what the issue was and what he would be replacing. I appreciate the fast and reliable service and would trust them again for any auto repairs. Highly recommend this shop. They offer great value, integrity, transparency, and reliability.

This is basically the 2nd worst thing that could happen to a vehicle IMO The job did take time but I made it work with getting around. Angel and his team did have to do some trouble shooting because this specific transmission requires the valve body to be primed on the bench prior to installation. He rebuilt the entire core and also changed out the engine rear main seal. Now, the transmission feels better than ever. I had to give him a little bit of a hard time about not having Zelle which he ended up getting after. Overall I would say, he really does care about taking care of his customers and will make sure the job is done correctly.

Second was a 2002 Yukon Denali, needed a transfer case rebuild. Just recently my wife's Dodge Durango had been giving us problems. Turns out it wasn't the transmission, but the TCM solenoid. With Angel's honesty, attention to detail, and great work ethic, I've had all repairs done correctly, with minimal downtime, and not being ripped off. He explained all issues so a non-mechanic as myself can understand. Thanks again Angel!
