National transmission provided me with amazing service!!! I arranged a day to have my brakes replaced and they were able to complete the work in 1 day. Thank you for your quality service, trustworthy advice and quick turnaround. I highly recommend!! read more

I called National transmission and inquired about a fluid change quote on my f-350. The guy took my information down and said he has to look some things up and he'll give me a call back with a price. A week and a half later, no call back. Guess they don't need the business. I called another place down the street and got a quote right away. Interesting how that worked. read more

They have been great to me with their experience and knowledge. I will definitely recommend them very professional and nice to work with. read more

About 3 weeks ago, I had to tow my 2004 Acura TL from work since it could not slip into gear all of a sudden. Daniel was kind enough to give me an urgent appointment same day appointment. He, Jim, and his crew did an excellent job with replacing the transmission. There were other issues they found and took care of it during this repair time. Daniel is honest, communicate clearly of what the problem is and shows you what is being done. He follows up promptly. I greatly appreciate their work ethic!! Thank you!! Greatly appreciated your honest hard work!! read more

I have a Toyota Avalon that had a transmission that had a slightly hard shifting problem. They kept it for 1/2 day, fixed the problem a only charged me $168. These guys seem to really know what they are doing, and are now my go-to people for transmission work. read more

Jim and Daniel are the best. They are honest and good and they stand behind their work. I just wish they did More than just transmissions!!! I trust them with everything!! read more

Terrific experience from the start. Daniel was always in close contact throughout the process. A rebuilt transmission is a large job. Along the way he would provide updates and call if their mechanic saw something that needed a fix while up on the lift- saving me money in the long run. I trust them even for non- transmission advice and will bring other cars to them in the future. Thank you, John May read more

This dude charged me $138 just to look at my car. I had a small hairline crack in my transmission fluid pan and it needed replacement. He said it would be $1150 with used parts. He said it's a VERY difficult job and the parts are really expensive. He said it's $500 just for the labor. He was going to get me a used pan for $365, plus the gasket would be $140. You can buy both WITH the filter for $44 delivered. I brought it to another guy in San Pedro and he did it for a little over $300. This guy is a stinking ripoff weasel. How annoying of an experience. This is the reason people hate mechanics. What a shameless jerk. Go elsewhere. read more

So let's start this by saying we were refered to nation transmission by my sons mom who took a civic there that the honda dealer told her needed a new manual transmission. She took it there told them new trans they called her up said it was just the throwout bearing. Good and honest could have taken her to the cleaner if they were at all shady. Fast forward probably 10+ years my parents 2013 explorer ate the transfer case and trans was outta fluid. Daniel at national replaced the transfer case filled the trans drove it didn't think any damage was done sent my parents on their way instead of doing my dads requested rebuild. 6 years probably 25k miles all is well still. Now my wrx blew the motor up so I had to pull out my caprice and rebuild the trans, when i just talked to Daniel about how i was sitting on it waiting to get the nerve to attempt to rebuild it my self he offered to call me up and let me come in and be semi involved in the rebuild to see. He had never met me before this other than to get a ball park number. My rebuild took 3 or 4 weeks, but he was up front from day one that he was swamped and had guys going on vacation and it'd be a while. Found the car had a few oil leaks, and he notified me. And I must add just to look at Daniel when you walk in (stereotyping) I looked at him and just assumed he's gunna talk like a trucker when in reality he extremely melow and gental as he speaks and does his thing. Thank you national trans, glad I went to you guys read more

Good mechanics are worth their rate, especially transmission specialist. Don't waste your money on transmission guess work somewhere else and regret it later. These guys are awesome. read more

I have a 2003 Lincoln Towncar 137K Miles - National was a referral from my trusted independent mechanic Daniel , front office and in shop was very honest considerate and professional . They did NO unnecessary work , estimate was accurate . You'd have to see pics of my Transmission 'on the bench ' to understand the level of professionalism in rebuilding this . Fantastic !!! read more

My 2008 Ford Edge ( 90k ) has a clunk when shifting into reverse, shifting into 2nd when getting on the freeway. And a once a month go into neutral while while driving. Daniel suggested the least expensive options. The transmission is now like new. The price was reasonable for the work performed and they only did what was needed. I recommend this business highly enough. read more

Thank you Daniel! Had a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Transmission rebuilt and so far everything is working great! Great customer service and they get the job done right the first time :-) Jason read more

National Transmission did a great job repairing the transmission in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. It had gone over 200,000 miles before the transmission failed. I decided to fix it because I like the car. They were great. I recommend them. read more

I've been coming here for years and have always had the best experience. Responsive, accurate and quick. Would never go anywhere else for anything transmission related. read more

My transmission began to "slip" when picking up family from the airport. Not knowing who to have service my truck, I actually referred to YELP. Best decision EVER was taking my "beast" to Daniel. He was able to diagnose the problem within the day and arranged a SWEET deal for a rental. The truck being 15 y/o with 200K miles, Daniel suggested the best thing was to get a rebuilt trade. Knowing this would take a handful of days because the transmission was coming out of state and we were approaching a holiday, Daniel continued to give me follow up calls as a courtesy, which many places would not take the time to. I have been in customer service for nearly all my life, extremely picky and would have to say 5 stars is not nearly enough for Daniel and the team at National Transmission, they need at least 10! You could not ask for a more professional team who goes up and beyond for their customers. Thank you! read more

I'm kind of picky and kind of cynical as well. So when I am happy with something it must live up to fairly high standards. Jim, Daniel and National Transmission exceeded my expectations...by far. They did more than they promised and charged less. What more can you ask for? The work was well done and done on time. I trust them to give me a good job at a fair price. What more could you ask for? Thank You Jim Thank You Daniel read more

Fantastic business. National Transmission came highly recommended, and for good reason. Everyone at National treated me respectfully and honestly. Reasonably priced as well. If I ever have another transmission (with another, future vehicle) this will definitely be my go to place. read more

Daniel and the entire staff were great to work with. I had my 2005 Tacoma Transmission diagnosed and serviced. Daniel did a great job communicating the diagnostic process and completing the service on my vehicle. Moreover, Daniel and Jim gave me a referral to Phillips and Sons Automotive to have a knocking noise diagnosed. The work was done quickly and I was informed of the entire process. I would highly recommend National Transmission to everyone. read more

My experience with this company was amazing. There professional attitude and customer service was the best I've seen in a long time. They will always update you on everything that is important: change in order, things that may benefit tge life of tge engine and vehicle, and ETA of completion and Estimated cost changes, should there be any. There are little thing that they do that make their service more unique. Overall a recommended company!!! read more

National Transmission - Transmission Repair Near Me - Lomita, California

See all

I had a rattle in the under carriage. Only when in drive and reverse and not when in park or neutral. Transmission, for sure. A couple grand, at least, right? Dropped my truck off at 8:30, Jim called me at 10:30 to inform me that the rattle was a loose bracket on the exhaust. $94. Less, even, than the price for the inspection, $115. Man, you KNOW what would have happened at a disreputable shop, but to charge me less than the price on the estimate that I signed, that's amazing. Thanks, fellahs. read more

I have nothing bad to say about Daniel and his crew! The transmission in my truck was starting to act up a little and it hadn't been serviced since I bought the truck about a year ago (it's a '97 F250 with 166k miles on it). I was going to be towing a heavy trailer through the desert in a few days so I figured it would be a good time to get it serviced. Anyway, I called them on Monday evening and they got me in that Wednesday morning. They went above and beyond with their service and were very professional, friendly and most important, they were honest. They did not try and jerk me around like many other shops have done before. I will be going back to them for sure and I would recommend you do the same read more

My Suburban was delivered sooner than promised and she runs perfectly after a rebuild with commercial components. Daniel seems to know these transmissions quite well when we talked about the common failure points. I like that national includes a protocol to follow up after 500 miles. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone here. Price was not the lowest, but no where near dealership. read more

Great guy, did good work. Took a little longer than he quoted, but its a small shop I can imagine they were a little busy.

Jim and his team fixed my truck and saved me a ton of money. My F350 would buck hard under load and up hills. When the transmission temperature gauge quit, I brought it in to be fixed. While I was convinced the bucking was transmission related, Jim was not. He kept working at it, researching, and trying to duplicate my issue. He replaced a badly fouled EGR valve, replaced the temperature sensor, and did a regular service on my transmission. Problems (multiple) solved. I really appreciate the time Jim and his team took to find a root cause rather than shotgun possible fixes. There was plenty of opportunity for this to be a very costly string of fixes. Jim, Daniel and the team are my go-to place to all my friends and family for transmission needs. Good job National Transmission. Keep up the great work. read more

With their knowledgeable staff of trained professionals Jim and Daniel were able to diagnose and fix my transmission quickly and efficiently and at a competitive price. In my opinion without quality there is no economy and this is a quality shop. My experience here was so pleasant that I'm thinking about buying a car with a faulty transmission just so I can take it here to get it fixed. That's how good it was! read more

It's so easy to give Daniel and his crew 5 stars. They were recommended by a mechanic at 4:00 on a Monday. Daniel still got me in, called a rental car company for me and had my truck fixed in less than 24 hours. This place is honest and fair and Daniel made sure that I was well taken care of. One doesn't expect this kind of service anymore and I really appreciate the way they treated me and my truck. read more

My recent experience with National Transmission was excellent and I highly recommend them. When the transmission in the car I restored from the 1960's began leaking I asked my regular mechanic for a recommendation. He told me the only transmission shop he would recommend was National Transmission. Jim and Daniel are knowledgeable, courteous and kept me informed during the entire repair process. Jim found a secondary problem with my transmission and was able to repair it quickly at a very fair price. The transmission repair they performed greatly improved the way my car drives. If you are looking for high quality work and honest service, National Transmission is the only way to go! read more

If you never thought you could have a great experience dealing with an auto repair -- think again. Jim and Dan at Nat'l Transmission are simply the BEST! They are honest, dependable, reliable and VERY reasonable. They kept me in the loop on what was going on with my car and even gave me a ride to get a rental (and let me use their "special" rate). They went above and beyond and looked at my car during off hours. I hope I never need their services again but if I do, I will not hesitate in going back there again and again. Real pros!!!!! --Jennifer in the red caddie. read more

Brought my mini-van here on the recommendation of my regular mechanic& I'm so glad I did! My van out of the clear blue stopped going into gear at all. I heard a loud drop & that was it. Daniel is awesome! From the moment I called to tell him we were having van towed in he kept calling me to make sure he'd be there when we got there. He kept me posted throughout of any changes & status of rebuild of my transmission. Can't say enough great things about these guys! Great work! Great, caring guys! read more

I had issues with 2010 Range Rover took it to National and they attempted to fix problem but where not successful because they had no diagnostic firmware to evaluate the problem. Needless to say I had to take it to a different shop who did resolve the issue. read more

These guys did a great job for me at a reasonable price and within a reasonable amount of time! I have on old work horse F-350 diesel Box Truck and they not only rebuilt the transmission for me but when I asked Jim if he could fix a couple of other things like my fuel gauge & odometer cable he went out of his way to find the necessary parts for my truck that are not even made anymore. Great service & great workmanship! Thanks Jim and Daniel! read more

My faith in humanity is restored. My husband was quoted almost $4,000 for what we thought was our problem. After we had been advised by a mechanic whome was referred by AAA was a transmission failure. After our regular mechanic Rays Auto in Harbor City referred us to Jim and Daniel we were shocked surprised and disappointed by our previous mechanic who quoted us for a faulty transmission. we received wonderful news that in fact it was just a broken axle and it wouldn't not be anywhere close to the first quote that we got for $4,000. We appreciate Jim and Daniels honesty and the job well done, their kindness and professionalism was so refreshing. If you want fair and honest great quality work I definitely recommend this place. read more

Got 2 quotes for over 2 grand, Lisa made me few welcomed to National, didn't promise me the moon! Fixed my differential for way under what the other guys quoted. Than stayed late on Saturday to briefed me on the repair and i am now back on the road running great. Thanks National team, thanks Lisa for making this happen. read more

I just wanted to say how great it was dealing with National Transmission. Jim & Daniel and their staff were so nice and through. I thought there may be something wrong with my VW GIT transmission. They drove and tested it for two days to try and find the problem. The did find a known transmission bulletin that was issued by VW, but there is no corrective action needed. They initially had said there would be a charge to diagnosis the transmission but since they felt there wasn't anything really wrong and nothing to fix, they didn't even charge me that. If you are looking for a honest and knowledgeable transmission repair place, National Transmission in Lomita CA it that place. Thank you so much! read more

This place is beyond awesome! Honest, Friendly and same day service for a great price. Don't even think about taking your automatic transmission anyplace else! read more

great service, Jim and Daniel did an excellent job getting my sons Frankenstein of a jeep road ready because previous owner did not maintain the vehicle the right way...Love this Shop read more

National Transmission works on transmissions only. I was referred to these guys and they were great!! Helped fix another mechanic's mess who rebuilt the engine. There was a missing part between transmission and engine. Jim found the part online (antique truck). He also referred me to a mechanic to reconnect and make sure the rebuilt engine worked right before National Transmission put into the transmission (missing) part. The truck has never ran better. Thank you Daniel and Jim!!! read more
