Although I appreciate that they didn't charge a diagnostic fee, I'm really disappointed with my…read moreexperience. I brought my car in due to an intermittent gear slipping issue, which I had already traced to a solenoid problem--a very common issue with my Pontiac G6. The symptoms only occurred twice, very briefly. My check engine light came on both times but turned off on its own. I was still able to drive the car on the freeway at full speed with no issues. The problem only showed up during city stop-and-go traffic. I specifically asked if they could just replace the solenoid, and was told no. Instead, I was told I "only had gears 1 and 2" and that I'd need a $4,800 transmission rebuild--which is objectively false, as I literally drove the car 70+ mph on the freeway both before and after leaving the shop. My engine light was off before coming to the shop, turned on once at the shop, then turned back off shortly after leaving. There is no way my car had only gears 1 & 2 I know what that feels like as it happened twice briefly. So to say this to me is insane. Mind you wouldn't have been able to go more than 25 with out the car struggling they must have assumed I don't know a thing about cars. Possibly because I'm a woman and I went alone. They also claimed the solenoid was too difficult to access without replacing the computer and warned me about my car's mileage, as if that meant it wasn't worth fixing. But then, on my way out, they admitted it's a "really great car" and "this is the only issue." It felt manipulative. I decided to trust my gut, went to a different shop, and had the solenoid replaced--and now my car runs perfectly fine. No rebuild needed. If I hadn't known what I was talking about, they would've gladly let me spend thousands on a completely unnecessary repair. Trust yourself. Do your research. Don't let fear-based upselling push you into something you don't need. Also from reading the reviews it sounds like the routinely tell their customers they need a rebuild and successfully do the rebuild. (more than likely something very easily replaceable) However a good transmission shop doesn't just rebuild, they properly and honestly diagnose and repair. He also tried selling me cars on the way out. Notice how he hasn't replied to this yelp review and also told me he feels bad for me in the text? Very unprofessional I don't need your pitty I needed honesty which I didn't get from this shop. He also told me don't buy a used car you can't guarantee you won't have problems it's best if you fix this one with us. Also told me not to go to another shop because id want a local shop lol

The issue wasn't related to the transmission but required the transmission to be removed. When I asked Alan if he could do the work he said yes.

The work only took a day and we were back on the road. I definitely recommend Kwik Shift, Good folks to work with. Phil

I wanted to make sure I followed up because I know my review will mean something for this business. I brought my classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Nayarit Transmission in East Oakland for a transmission fluid change. From the start, I felt at ease. Yes, there's a security dog on-site, but the way the owner treats him says everything!he's clearly part of the family, not just for show. As someone who loves dogs, I really respected that. The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.

A quick perusal of Reddit revealed that Nissan Rogues from this time period were notorious for major problems with the CVT transmissions and there was no fix apart from replacement. I am always a bit terrified of dealing with mechanics because I realize how vulnerable I am to having to trust the expertise of a complete stranger and I have no real independent way of verifying that I am not being taken for a ride. I was fully expecting having to shell out $7000 or more. So, when I rolled up into Nayarit, I was greeted my Marcos. He was friendly and welcoming, and fully explained the history of problems with Nissan Rogue transmissions and why they generally have to be replaced. But he said he wouldn't know for sure until he did a full diagnostic. So, I left my vehicle with him, fully expecting the worse. So, I was quite surprised when Marcos called me and said that perhaps my problem was not my transmission, but instead the transfer case that is attached to the transmission. The transfer case, well, transfers power, between the front and rear axles for all wheel drive. Marcos explained that replacing the transfer case, which is a third of the cost of replacing the transmission, might fix the problem. But he warned me that, sometimes, after replacing the transfer case, they realize the transmission still needs to be replaced. I was cautiously hopeful, but still prepared for the worst. In just two days, Marcos replaced the transfer case, did a full tune-up of the existing transmission, as well as some other severely needed maintenance, and turned my vehicle over to me working perfectly. No need for a new transmission! What??!!? Marcos could have told me I needed a new transmission, and I would have believed him. It is extremely evident that Marcos is extraordinarily trustworthy - he will do a careful diagnostic review of your vehicle, carefully explain exactly what is wrong based on his expertise and experience, and will only repair or replace what is necessary. The cost of his work is very fairly priced. He works fast. He takes great pride in the high quality of his work. He has integrity. What more could you possibly hope for? Thank you, Marcos. You are awesome!
