Every visit with Hank is amazing. I know next to nothing abt transmissions. He serviced one of my vehicles and advised several friends. He is always honest, and will not pressure you to get work done. I've heard him advise customers, and heard them give their opinion of what they thought was needed. People, if you have not studied and worked on Anything as a long term hobby or career. Stop, going in to businesses and demanding they do the work for next to nothing, then writing a bad review because it didn't turn out as you would've liked. When you do this, you miss out on top quality work. If you choose to fish around for budget finds, just walk away, when you are sent away. I'd rather have to pay a little more, for quality than to be scammed because they know I will just pay below the bill for a minimum outcome. In the end you will have to fix it again, and still spend above the amount you were trying to scam the professionals out of. Hank is one of the extremely few honest mechanics around. I recently went in for an oil change. I mentioned the airbag warning came on, he immediately said he can't touch it, that, that's something you want to take to the dealer and make sure it's not a recall, that I don't want to void the warranty or have something go wrong, that could've been easy money, instead he honestly said no. How can you be upset about that. So if you're told no, except that it's a good thing. Finally, on big purchases, as I was taught by my dad, fix it right the first time. So you don't have to keep spending money on it. Thanks for your continued great service. read more

Hank was very helpful, took the time to explain what was going on with my transmission. Hank recommended we try putting new fluids in the tranny along with an additive before replacing any major parts. Sure enough that was the fix. My Tundra is running so smooth now. No more jerking at cold starts. Thank you Hank! read more

I called Hank to ask him a transmission question and he was super helpful. He told me in the beginning of the conversation that his shop was full for the week but still had me come by that day and checked my SUV out. Hank was very personable and talked me through several affordable options and ways I can save money. I will definitely be coming to him soon to get the new transmission installed. Thank you for your time and guidance Hank! read more

Went to this shop to fix an issue with my front axel. Confirmed with Hank before dropping it off if it was work they could complete there. He said yes, and was happy to get me in there the next day. I informed him it was an entire assembly (Specifically front driver and passenger side). He quoted me under $200 for the work as I'd be providing the parts. Within an hour of looking at the vehicle he calls and nearly doubles the price stating he thought he was only doing 1 side. He got a quick $50 for less than an hours work, but I guess that's how he does business. Lost a potential long term customer here. Nice guy, but I'd suggest he ask for more details if it's not clear before providing out a quote. read more

my 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan went into LIMP mode, ( as safety feature that detects Transmission problems and only allows the vehicle to accel to 30mph so you can drive it to a shop or fix it yourself). Took it in to Lathrop Transmission without calling for an appointment first, Hank checked the fluid, hooked it up to his OBD2 diagnostic scanner and told me it could be a couple sensors on the Transmission.Hank showed us exactly which sensors to replace even sent a text to my husbands phone showing what to replace. We fixed it ourselves using Hanks advice.. and I am back on the road. Hank saved me a lot of money ... read more

Great work by hank. I brought my corvette 4l60e automatic transmission into him after calling 10 other transmissions shops giving me the same run around saying either they can't do it they can't get the parts or they where way too expensive.

I definitely recommend working with hank if you have any transmission problems. read more

I had a transmission slip code displayed and was in a pinch to get it fixed before I had to smog my vehicle. I called various shops in the Stockton area and they all pointed me to Hank. I called Hank and he walked me through all of my options to get it fixed. Running into a holiday weekend, I decided to go with a rebuilt unit. I was also having an issue with what I thought was a rear main seal leak so I also had him replace that as well since the transmission was out. Hank had my car back to me in two days and even showed up to the shop during his time off (with his family) to give me my car back. He updated me throughout the process and even sent me pictures of the actual oil leak which was not the rear main seal. Honest guy and I recommend this shop to anyone! read more

I took my truck to have my transmission rebuilt. The estimate was $1400. The price was the determining factor. He said it would be completed in five working days. It took nearly two weeks. Every time i spoke to him. It seemed like the price kept going up. Hank seemed to be a nice guy. After we agreed to the price. He had me buy transmission fluid from walmart. I guess it wasn't factored in the price. I thought of that odd. Then he told me the rear brakes were locking up. He told me he had the same problem with another customer previous to me. I believe he didn't give the emergency break enough slack. When you seperate the tranny from the engine. The brake cable has to be loosened. Perhaps re-installing the cable he over tightened it.that locked up the breaks. Regardless now the price is $2200. I'm disappointed.i wished he would of told me that in the beginning. It would be that much. I told him i couldnt afford that price. What do i do now give him my truck.-0 read more

Hank is a great guy and is truly an honest mechanic. He gives fair rates and is down to work with ya when unexpected things happen. Its just him here so you know he's a hard working guy. He rebuilt our transmission that didn't give us a problem for over a year. Getting an oil change from him at the moment. Had to buy my own oil, but worth the honest work. He threw in transmission check and tire rotation and checking everything else for a planned road trip this weekend for less than 30. read more
