Also I had called a few shops and got some pricing but the quote from Wootens was very competitive. I was hoping to get right in and he unfortunately said he was booking the next week. I mentioned I had a work truck I needed to get back on the road ASAP and he said bring it down and he will squeeze it in somehow. I brought it in and had a call very shortly after with a full diagnosis. I said please get it done and he had me back on the road in no time! I really appreciate you working me into your busy schedule and know the importance of having the work truck on the road moving.

A few years back I had an older Ford Escape that the Eco Boost system went out and it was no longer under warranty which means replacement was going to be $5,000.00 and the vehicle already had a 100, 000 plus miles. This all happened the week that my third son was getting married. I went to Thompson Chevorolet and found a used 2020 Chevy Equinox and Ross was on the phone with me for an hour going through what the vehicles history was and whether it was worth the purchase (You see I am mechanically challenged), and I made the purchase and it was the right call. By the way, I like to support businesses that love our community ity and give back and while I was the Pastor at the former Bayside Church of Placerville we had people who were displocated staying our our church campus which is right next door to this business and Ross and Randi along with their staff served people and were awesome. You do not need to look any further for automotive needs because this is the place that will take care of your vehicle and they are honest and trustworthy. There is one place in all of El Dorado County that I will take my vehicles and that is right here.

I know that's some time back, but I'm tired of listening to my husband beat himself up about having taken his truck into Placerville Transmission and within just weeks, realizing the problem was not repaired. He took it in again, only to have Adolf pour some "shutter fluid" in, which did nothing to fix the problem. Now my husband doesn't like confrontation, so he drove the truck with a sickly transmission. I believe these people took us for a ride! First of all, it took 7 weeks for Placerville Transmission to get to the point of doing the work. This necessitated my husband paying almost $1,100 in rental car fees and then when the transmission still wasn't corrected, realized the warranty was only good for one-year! Fast forward to today, July 2025 and my husband has lived with the transmissions this way now for the past almost 3 years. The truck definitely needs to go back into the shop. We spent over $6,660 for the work which didn't even last a few months, never mind past the one-year warranty. We paid good money for a worthy rebuilt transmission, but my husband believes (and he's a gear head so knows cars) the shop put in a faulty rebuilt tranny obtained online. Shame on my husband for not demanding Placerville Transmission perform a proper repair, but mostly shame on them for allowing such sloppy, unprofessional and un-American work. They've lost a customer, but hopefully someone else won't be so easily taken.
