If Hitler and Stalin ran an auto garage ... It would be better ... Hey, my name is Jerry. I recently went to national transmission on 14th street of Calgary AB, here is my journey. I was directed there by another garage after the other garage clearing my needs and making sure this shop on 14th understood my problem. I walked in a man name Brock greeted me, I explained my needs, my cars specifications, how difficult it was for me to find someone and how hard of a job it was, Brock acknowledged all of this plus guaranteed that he has works on this exact car before, gave me a quote 5-6 hours about 700-800 bucks,I thought great! NOW heres the funny part, I brought my car in at 6 am, so he could start working on it at 9, like previously agreed, didn't happen doubled booked my spot, no big deal. A few hours (8) later he calls me "we have a problem", he explained to me that he has worked on my car for a while now and JUST realized my car was AWD and my engine needed to come out before they can continue to work on it, I was thinking wow these guys are REAL PROFESSIONAL, just taking cars apart with no idea what kind of car/transmission it is... funny how the name same NATIONAL TRANSMISSION. My mother thought it would be best to keep it there, so we did. A week later Brock calls again, you car is finished, it went from 6 hours to 25 hours of labor, but funny thing is he told me 25 and my mom 30 hours (Real good show of character) and it went from 700 bucks to 1700, we paid. This part gets interesting, I turned over my car and it sounded like it was spitting and I started drive it away.. IT DIED literally 2 blocks away. Later on that day, I popped the hood ( Hoping to see the issue ) and I did, my mass air flow wasn't hooked up right, re-cranked my car it turned over, started to drive it again, noticed my boost gage was not working, hit boost in my car my blow off valve was broken, pulled over parked turned off the car my turbo timer didn't kick in, opened the hood again , noticed my top mount inter-cooler ( this is a stock piece to my car ) was held on by half the bolts some where left on as show but most where not even screwed in, looked around the gutted version of my car noticed there is more bolts missing for little things like DRL's ect ect ... Not a huge deal just shitty service, I drove to my friends house for tools to correct these mistakes, one of them mentions " HEY , your reverse lights does not go on ", and he was right, after my transmission was put in they UNHOOKED my reverse lights, ( your going to love this ) THIS SHOP PASSED me on my insurance inspection, funnnn! oh wait theres more, my receipt for the job done / the inspection had the wrong year, wrong model , wrong transmission and false information stating my lights all work, but it gets better, I was driving it this morning and my rad started to smoke .. MY COOLANT POURED OUT OF MY CAR ... Now I have driven this car for most of summer and all winter not a single problem besides the aliment, after I took it to nation transmission, I FEEL LESS SAFE... OH last thing , Brock used his house phone to reach my mobile to complain to me about complaining to AMA and BBB, and I'll keep doing it tell Brock hands me over at least 1000 bucks. Lets sum it up, my car barely runs after national transmission had fun exploring how to fix my car, charged me out the ass, broke things that they are not taking responsibility for, called me on a weekend to complain about my actions ( when I never called him about all the bs i have had with him ? ) and he FULLY EXPECTS me to trust this shop again ... is he serious ? is this company a joke ? read more

I was referred to Brock and the shop by my boyfriend when I needed some work done and no longer had a mechanic I could trust. So, I now have been taking my vehicles there for about 6 years or so. It's so great to know that when I take my car in he will tell me the truth and do a good job. Brock always answers my calls (and I drive old cars so sometimes that's ALOT) and is willing to take a look. Then will do all he can, and then probably some more, to get you back on the road. If it doesn't need to be done, he will let you know and if it is urgent, he will tell you that too. If you need your car checked on for ANYTHING, not just transmissions, and you want the truth....take it to Brock. He will tell you straight and take good care of your car. read more

Competency, efficiency, and, honesty...no better way to describe the service. I phoned this morning to ask about a diagnosis, and was invited to come straight in. Within 15 minutes the problem was diagnosed. Although the problem gave wide latitude for 'extras', they zeroed in on the exact problem, and the most efficient solution. Then, they asked if I wanted it "today", so I wouldn't have to rent a car for the weekend. Of course I said yes. Within 3 hours, required parts were ordered and installed, and I was on my way. (Although transmission repair bills always hurt, I am very satisfied with the cost of the parts & service provided.) I thoroughly recommend Brock and his professional crew! read more

Honesty is a rarity in this day and age so when I have dealings with an honest business man/woman I wanna shout it from the rooftops. In this case the honest man is Brock, owner of National Transmission on 14th street N.W. This man has bent over backwards and stayed past closing time to resolve our work truck issues. He is as honest as they come and I consider him to be an expert in his field so if you have an issue with your transmission and don't want to pay a ton and have your tranny problems resolved Brock would be the man to see. QUICK NOTE WHEN LOOKING AT SATELLITE PIC I SEE THE CORRECT ADDRESS BEING 343 - 14TH STREET N.W. LOCATED BESIDE THE REGAL BEAGLE PUB. read more

I have a Ford Crown Victoria which began to have a problem putting it into the proper gear. Sometimes if it wouldn't go into neutral or park it would not start. I took it to a Ford dealership who performed other work and declared the gear shift problem fixed. It wasn't. After having it in the shop again they said it would cost $1,300 or more to fix. I said I'd think about it. Finally I took it to Brock at National Transmission. He recognized the problem quickly and had it fixed in no time for a super reasonable price. Brock runs an exceptionally honest and good transmission repair shop and I would recommend that National Transmission shop on 14th Street to anyone. read more

What can I say.....I have to be the most pain in the ass customer in the world but boy oh boy did Brock put up with me although I think it was a two way street! I recently bought a new to me high performance car with a ghost oil leak. It did take a bit but Brock put all his might to figure out the problem (maybe because he was sick of seeing me). I ended getting more work done with him because he has shown me just how he will go above and beyond with his clients even if they are as annoying as me. THANK YOU NATIONAL TRANSMISSION AND THANK YOU BROCK! Hands down if you need any transmission work done go to this location and see Brock Vince read more

Brock and the guys at National Transmission were fantastic! My 2012 F150 needed some work done it. We discussed the issues, we went for a drive in the truck. They got back to me within a few hours with an detailed explanation and a cost estimate. The dealership pricing for the same job was over $500 higher for the same work. I also had them do a transmission flush and spark plug replacement, again this was cheaper than the dealership. Brock sent me pictures of the worn out parts, and delivered my truck back to me at the cost we discussed and on time. Truck is running like new again. I would recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at National Transmission. I had brought my BMW to the dealership, who told me that I needed a new transmission and that this would cost me $7300. Wanting a second opinion, I take my car to Brock. He determined that it was a computer/sensor issue, not a transmission problem. He explained the problem to me in detail. Following up with BMW, I took it up to the Shop Foreman, who later admitted that they were wrong. Brock went above and beyond to recommend a better place to take my BMW to get this issue fixed and even set up an appointment. THANKS BROCK! read more

Brock and crew are an amazing team of no nonsense, competent, trustworthy mechanics. They listen, ask questions, do diagnostics, pre and post drive with customer. The work required is accurately assessed, fairly priced and completed in a timely manner. They came highly recommended by another local mechanic, via referral process to me after a series of unnecessary, over billed repairs at other shops. So happy to be driving a safe, well serviced vehicle. Thanks for your expertise and for caring about your customers. read more

I took my vehicle in for a diagnostic and repair at a major GM/Chevrolet dealership in Calgary only to be told I had a broken transfer case. I decided to get a second opinion and was recommend to National Transmission. I was seen quickly, had a proper diagnosis of my vehicles issue, and was fixed to my satisfaction at a fraction of the cost. The staff at National Transmission were honest, fair and very diligent. I would highly recommend National Transmission to anyone seeking vehicle maintenance and repair. read more

Excellent experience and saved me a ton of time and cash. Arash took my call on a weekend and booked me in right away. Upon arrival, he was able to quickly diagnose that my transmission issue was much less of a concern - and resolved it on the spot, no charge. I didn't even have to leave my truck with them for the day. Customer service + time savings + dollar savings = 5 stars for me. read more
