It's not a monster truck doing heavy hauling. It's been about 2 months so far and it rejuvenated my love for the truck...now if I can afford the fuel bill to drive it But it came with a 3 year 36k mile warranty and they said if anything happens just bring it in and they'll take care of it. Oh, almost forgot. I had some upgraded parts and new parts to install and they did that for no extra charge when they put it back together .

I brought my vehicle into Total Care Transmissions thinking I had a failing alternator. We've been…read morecoming to Julio and his family for a few years now for our everyday cars and once to rebuild our family's classic car. He did a quick preliminary diagnosis and gave me a fair quote for the alternator parts and labor. A few hours later, instead of just doing the expensive repair, he called me and explained that the alternator was actually fine -- the real problem was a wire that was shorting out and causing the symptoms. The repair ended up costing significantly less than expected because they were honest enough to fix the actual issue instead of replacing parts I didn't need. I also had them change the fluids and filters while it was there. He said it looked like my spark plugs needed changing as well. Everything was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find shops that are this honest and transparent these days. Highly recommend Total Care Transmissions for their integrity, communication, and quality work.

And also their prices were a lot cheaper than others. I'm the kind of person who takes service seriously so I made sure to do my research around 5-7 of them and even their reviews. Although location they were the furthest out of mine, El Cajon , I went for it for their dedication, rates and even they check on me again days after while I was waiting to make a final decision. When I showed up to the place I got a bit nervous cause their spot seemed like a flee market of a group of mechanics all together and their own expertise areas, but also kinda amazing you can find all of there at the same spot. But they were really nice, honest and direct with what they could do and quick too. The lady in charge of the appointment and admon was amazing., explained the procedures, the tinning and I felt secure and that I could trust these hard working-honest people.

SD Transmissions does not let me down at all!!!…read more After going to them for my Explorer's transmission issues, instead of having to buy a new transmission, it was just a O-Ring, I need to get some transmission work done again. Bought a used F250SD and did not have a issues for about two years. I started feeling the truck slip every once and a while then one day I parked at my office and when I went back out to my truck to go home I could not get the truck in reverse. The shifter lever would just go up and down with a lot of play and wouldn't get into gear. I had to rev the engine really high for it to go in gear then it would jump really bad when it finally caught the gear. Took it to SD Transmission because they gave me a truthful diagnostic on my last car so I knew they would do the same for me this time. Turns out everything in my Transmission was slowly breaking and it would have only been a matter of time before I wouldn't be able to put it in gear at all. Vanessa got me checked in and work started the day I took it in. By the end of the day I had the results of their diagnostic. It wasnt what I wanted to hear. The transmission had to be completely rebuilt. Usually, I would have questioned this and took it for a second opinion but because they were honest with me last time and were very fair on the price I didnt have to go anywhere else. They rebuilt my transmission in a couple of days and I got my truck back. Vanessa and her crew are the best. I bought the warranty for the work they did because if you know transmissions you know they are VERY expensive and need a protection plan. Drove out of the shop with a "new" transmission and the truck ran great!!!! Few thousand miles later my shifter lever started having a lot of play in it. I had to slam it up to get into park. I could not put the shifter lever in the lower gears because it just wouldnt get down that far. I was in luck thought, my check up date/mileage was coming up so I made an appointment with Vanessa and she got me in the next week. When I got there (10am) I was greeted in the office by Vanessa who addressed me by name and not just another car to repair. She took my information and I let her know about the shifter lever. She said the truck would be ready at 3pm. 2:30PM I received a call from Vanessa saying my truck was ready for me to go pick it up. When I got there the truck was outside ready to go. Vanessa walked me to the truck and explained what they did during the check-up. She also explained how and why my shifter lever got the way it was and that they fixed the issue. My truck runs great now!!!! Thank you SD Transmissions for your great work and for being a honest shop when there are so many that are not. If you need any transmission work, I recommend SD Transmissions!!

I cannot recommend Valley Transmission enough, and a special shoutout to Paul, who was incredibly…read morefriendly, helpful, and accommodating. After breaking down on our way to San Diego for vacation, Valley Transmission was able to squeeze us into their already busy schedule to diagnose the problem. I was prepared for the worst, expecting that we would need to replace the transmission at a cost of around $6,000. Thankfully, they took the time to properly diagnose the issue and discovered that the problem was actually a faulty seal on the high-pressure switch, which was causing the transmission fluid to leak. Rather than recommending an expensive replacement, they performed the relatively minor repair and thoroughly tested their work before returning the vehicle to us. While the diagnostic fee was on the high side, it was absolutely worth it. We walked out with a $500 repair bill instead of several thousand dollars. Considering they worked us into their busy schedule to accommodate our vacation plans, I felt the price was more than fair. They even recommended that we drive the vehicle for a day or two before making the trip back home to Arizona. I wanted to wait until we got home before leaving this review to make sure the repair held up over the 300+ mile drive--and it did! I truly appreciate the honesty, quality workmanship, and outstanding customer service we received. It's refreshing to find a shop that takes the time to diagnose a problem correctly rather than jumping straight to an expensive replacement. Paul and the team at Valley Transmission turned a potentially disastrous vacation situation into a much more manageable experience. If you're looking for a trustworthy transmission shop, I highly recommend giving them a call!

Paul was so funny and very knowledgeable. He explained the whole process of their inspection and what steps they were going to take. I had a code reader at home but that was nothing compared to Paul's extensive knowledge of vehicles and Transmissions. He only kept my vehicle for the time quoted and didn't go above the price quoted either. He stayed in Communication with me over the phone during the time they had my vehicle too. It's so nice to have a mechanic you can trust and that takes the time to explain how the parts of the transmission work together. He told me what was needed and what was optional. He didn't use any scare tactics to get me to spend more money. He got me back on the road and I haven't had the same issue since. Thanks Paul you are Awesome. I highly Recommend this Shop.
