Tony installed transmission and new a/c in my truck. Great job, highly recommended. Cynthia always kept in contact with updates on progress. thanks to the Team at Joe's Transmissions! read more

Team here is awesome. Cynthia communicates very well and is very nice. Called around to find me the best deal possible for the quality parts I needed. Tony introduced himself and was very thorough with his inspection. 21 year old Vette with less than 18k miles on original motor. Made his recommendations and didn't try to upsell anything. Respectful staff, fast, efficient, and takes care of you. Like any place, be kind and you'll get that in return. Very experienced shop with loyal customers. They gained another. Should be all you need to know. Just listen to the recommendations they give. Not an ounce of rudeness from anyone at the staff here. If you experience that then I would question your own character. See you guys again! Update: Went back for rotors and brakes. Was welcomed kindly and took me in right away (appointment of course). Full replacement of rotors and brakes took less than 2 hours with top quality service. Great place with a family atmosphere. Will return again and highly recommend them to all in the future. read more

I was referred to Joe & Sons; particularly Tony (Antonio) by the president of the Corvette Club, the Shuttleworths....I needed someone I could trust with my favorite car...Tony has done some repairs (replaced a cracked radiator and replaced a shift cable) to get me and my car back on the road...Cynthia, his customer service manager is amazing...she listens and you don't have to repeat yourself. I would refer them to anyone that needs a trustworthy auto mechanic that knows his cars...thank you both and ask Tony how he acquired the business...its a great story.... read more

Do NOT bother going there. They do NOT care about prospective customers. Called and talked to Cynthia, asked for price of a rebuild or possibly a remanufactured transmission for my car, she asked for my VIN number saying she'd call me back. 2 days later, no call. So I caller her back, she said she was still working on it and would call me back. 2 full days to get pricing? Ridiculous! It's been days now since I called and she never called me back. This is NO way to treat a potential customer. It tells me everything I need to know about what kind of people they are. So glad I didn't take my car there! ** My response to Owner's reply: I did not need a diagnostic fee, since I had already had that done. NOT true that I was "frustrated" about that. I simply told them that. I was then told I needed to pay $600 for them to tear my transmission down and then give me an estimate. Which is absurd. IF you rebuild transmissions for a living, you should be able to give the customer a "ballpark" estimate, meaning from "as low as to as high as" numbers. Other shops do that. I did NOT "demand" anything, I simply told them that. That's when I asked for a total replacement cost, and Cynthia said she'd give me the price for that. And never did. So they make decisions on which customers to work with based on a couple of phone calls? Wow... you don't know me enough to judge and make that premature, uncalled for decision. Again, glad I didn't go there! You've been warned! read more

Tony & Cynthia were great to work with. They took really good care of my classic car and kept me informed throughout the whole process. They have competitive prices too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Awesome customer service. Brought in my pick up for some transmission work. Cynthia was always communicative with updates after diagnostic and made sure everything was done after my approval. Technicians are very professional. Highly recommend. read more

Last week I went to Transmission Pros across town as was met with kind service but was told my "fix" on my old truck would be quite the price. Transmission Pros said they knew my transmission was slipping but couldn't know what was wrong with it until I paid $900 to drop the transmission and then it'd probably be another $3500-$4000. Joe & Sons was personable and SO knowledgeable, they instantly knew what was wrong and fixed it instantly for roughly $300. All it had needed was a transmission service. So thankful I got a second opinion and chose to get it from Joe & Sons. read more

I am new to the area and I needed an oil change. Such a difficult task when you have no idea where to start. Well, duh, Google. I search oil change and the fast lube places show up. Nothing against them but I'd rather not. I see Joe & Sons Transmissions and it's close to my work. I call and ask if they offer oil changes. The person on the phone said yes but they are a bit busy. I explained that I work in walking distance and was looking to have it done today. She was super nice about it and said I could bring it over at 12. Let me first tell you that this repair shop is in a plaza with a few other shops so don't be alarmed. Once I arrived, I was greeted by Cynthia who I had spoken with on the phone. She gave me a price, asked for my keys to get my vehicle info, told me it would be about 30min or so. I opted to leave and she would let me know when it's done. In no time did I hear back from Cynthia that my car was ready. Let me tell you, this was fast, friendly service that made you feel comfortable oh, and affordable too. Hopefully my car doesn't need anything else but if it does, I'm going to Joe & Sons. Thanks Cynthia! read more

Antonio and Cynthia were amazing , pulled, inspected, fixed, and reinstalled my transmission super quick. 10/10

Took my car in because I had a misfire which shook my car no matter how fast or slow I drive. Took it in and they fix and it's never felt this good before. Excellent costumer service and everyone there was very nice and friendly im definitely coming back here every time I have a problem thank you guys so much- Enkil Sevilla read more

We were referred to this company by friends, and we were very pleased. Tony is a good and honest man, and was forthcoming with our transmission issue. We will remain a customer from here on out. read more

My truck suddenly stopped running one day and it was possible the issue had something to do with my transmission. I brought it to my general mechanic who diagnosed the issue as needing an entirely new transmission which would take 1 month to assemble / install and cost $4,600 . I felt called to get a second opinion and was recommended this shop from a friend. Within a day, they realized it was actually an electrical issue and not my transmission AT ALL. They had the issue fixed and the truck back to me within 2 days running 100%. Not to mention the repair was under $500. I couldn't recommend this shop more! The communication is incredible and their expertise literally saved my ass. I am so grateful! Highly recommend if you are in north county. read more

Based on a referral from one of my trusted Corvette friends, who has owned 17 Vette's, I just had my 2007 Corvette fixed here after a road side water pump failure. From the road, as my car is steaming and leaking coolant everywhere I called Tony and said, "hey Tony, I'm on my way". He wasn't expecting me, he was very busy but I showed up anyway with a car in desperate need of repair. I had never been here before this day. He says "come on in, no problem". This is the only car my wife has and she needs to get to work daily so we were in a bit of a bind. Tony had me in and out, engine compartment all cleaned up and on the road 2 days later. I can't tell you how relieved we were that he made quick work of it with no notice at all. Thanks Tony. I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Tony at joe and sons is a very loyal and great mechanic. Tony does not inflate prices as everyone else in California. He does excellent work and he backs it up. I highly suggest hiring Tony as a mechanic next time that annoying car breaks down. Not only do I use him but my entire family and friends as well. Tony's an honest guy which is very rare in the mechanic world! read more

This is our family's go-to mechanic--tune ups, oil changes, brakes, etc. He's great.

Super friendly guy. No one loves to have transmission problems but I was pleased with the service, the price and the honesty.

They told me it might be my transmission. Lucky me they couldn't fit me in because I went somewhere else and all it needed was a transmission oil change. Save me $$$$$ by not see me then phew! read more

Based off a referral I took my car here for an issue that I was having. From my experience I can state the following. This is a very ethical and reliable shop. I second, Omar G., review, "Tony is a very loyal and great mechanic." I found their work on my car timely, well done and at a reasonable cost (no inflated prices, like you find everywhere else). Most importantly, as a female who took my car in alone without a male, not once did Tony make me feel if I was being taken advantage of, he took the time to explain the process of what was wrong with my car. He listened to my concerns and questions and answered everything, so I had a better understanding of the problem. And when I received the bill I knew he was not overcharging me. Unfortunately, overcharging and taking advantage of customers unfamiliar with cars often feels rampant in the auto repair world. If you don't know what to expect, you can be a victim of poor service. I am happy to say this is not the case at Joe & Sons Transmission, they are an honest shop! I will be a returning customer and will refer your business to family and friends! Thank you, Tony and Staff! read more

DO NOT COME HERE, payed over 800$ for a valve cover gasket & head gasket, I had supplied my own aftermarket parts they did not accept them unless it was OEM, so I went out and bought them instead, and they did the job half ass, 2 days later my oil light came on( oil was on full line before service) and my engine was knocking like crazy and drained it that day it had half of court of oil and damaged my engine permanently and would burn large amounts of oil and had to sell my vehicle thanks to these quote on quote "mechanics" read more
