Family owned, trustworthy, and excellent work. The owner John is a standup guy. No huge corporate feel at all where they don't know you or where they don't care if they have your business John and his staff tells you the work that you absolutely need and the work that can wait. Not many businesses around like this anymore where you're able to speak directly to the owner who manages the shop. Good prices too and he uses high quality parts. I bring 3 cars to service there and he's efficient servicing all of them and he keeps them in great shape. George Hoben's shop in l Newburgh is how I found them and he highly recommended them. read more

John and Orange County Transmissions have been good to us for years now. Always good work and fast turn around on our cars, essential when you need to get to work. Most recently our car was having transmission issues and they got the car up and running in 2 days and were very reasonable on price, being as flexible as a business can go. We do very much appreciate all the time and effort they have put in for us throughout the years. -Pessin Family read more

I Used them once like 5 years ago to replace a transmission for me after another mechanic completely screwed me over... They were amazing and thr pricing was extremely fair. Fast forward to now, I have another vehicle that my tranny just went bad on, and I can honestly say that I am super relieved to hear that these guys are still open and in business... I will be giving them a call in thr morning for my Crv.. Anytime I have any friends or acquaintances that are looking for a transmission shop, they are thr 1st place I send them too... Looking forward to doing business with you guys again soon.. read more

These guys are good and always get to the bottom of the issue. Fair prices and good communication.

HEADLINE SCAMMED FOR 1,100$ I brought my 96 Mustang GT in for work to be done, I happen to be mechanically inclined but I did not have the right tools or space for the job. I brought in my mustang because the bell housing bolts on my transmission were loose and one was missing and therefore I thought my fly wheel became stripped. I got a call from John saying they drained the transmission before taking it out of the car and it had low fluid in it. He gave me two options :1.) take it out of the mustang and still do the fly wheel (in order to get to the fly wheel you have to take the transmission out) or 2.) put fluid in it and see if it works fine . I opted with choice one because I wanted to do everything right . he called me the next day to come get the car he said the bell housing bolts where loose on the top (which I was aware of ) and that they took out the transmission and inspected it and it looked fine , along with re-machining the fly wheel. Charged me 800$ for the work which I gladly paid and went on my way . Later that night I decided to pop the hood and check their work . Well the same exact bolts that I brought it in were loose and were still loose and like the exact amount I had it. (I know it's the exact amount because that was the distance I could only fit my wrench in) also that one bolt I knew was missing was still missing. This was a clear indication they did not drop my transmission, therefor did not re machine my fly wheel like asked . Instead they charged me 800 $ to put transmission fluid in it which retails for 50$ and takes anyone 15mins. I brought the car back first thing in the morning and got three different stories from the workers who "worked " on my car . They said they just forgot to tighten them but that doesn't make sense because they were in the exact same condition I brought them in on . Fast forward to two days later my second gear starts to not work on the transmission, I brought it back asked I thought you guys took apart the transmission and made sure it was okay . Sticking to their fabricated story, they said they did and just missed it . John (the owner ) said he'd credit me the 800 in labor if I go and buy a new transmission to put in the car . Here's the best part I went to my disassembled car and noticed the fly wheel was never REMACHINED just confirming they ripped me off the first time I brought the car there. Fast forward I give them a new transmission to put in the car , they put it in but my starter was on its way out (which I was aware of) so John said he'll order me a starter and put it in since in order to reinstall the transmission the starter must be unbolted anyway. Now the deal was not to charge me for labor because of thier shady work and he charged me 350$ for the starter. Since they lost my trust I went to Napa and got a quote for the starter they put in my car . It cost the average customer 150$! Now I understand up charging a customer 200 to install but the deal was I would not be charged for labor and by the way they told me the starter costed 350$ by itself and I got the print out from Napa for the starter in my car and it says 150$. Again they danced around that since John was on "Vacation" when I went to pick up my car the very last time . So I paid the 350 just so I could get my car back . BLUF: They charged me 800 for work they did not do and lied to me thinking they can get away with it . I left my car with them because it was already in pieces there after all of that . I would've brought it to somewhere else but I gave them a chance to make it right ...just to take another 200 dollars from me. If you're not mechanically inclined and don't understand what I am saying the point I'm making is they charged me and lied to me for work they did not do . If something here doesn't make sense to you I'll do my best to explain it in deeper detail... I have no reason to lie or make a false story about this establishment. read more

John is the best. Fair price and excellent mechanics who know what they're doing. Rest assured when you drop your car you know you're going to get it back in top shape. read more

I have a vintage 1967 Corvette with a T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission. A shift problem developed between 4th going to 5th gear. At the recommendation of J@S Gear (who rebuilt my GM 12bolt rear end) I went to Dave at OC Trans. He test drove and diagnosed the problem and determined the issue could be fixed by replacing the Reverse Lockout solenoid. when not operating correctly, that solenoid allows the shift lever to move too far to the right (toward reverse) and creates difficulty shifting from 4th to 5th. Dave fixed that WITHOUT pulling the trans and he fixed the leak in the T56 shift tower. When you go in to fix a 6-speed trans these days you expect the bill to be in the thousands, I came away with 2 problems fixed in the hundreds. This is the best example of INTEGRITY I have come across in a long time. Thank you Dave and OC Transmissions. read more

Yes these guys are %100 honest and always do great work 5 stars all the way

Shop always helped me out and was able to check my car without an appointment. Gave me good advice and the price was right on.

Disgrace To Our Community!!!! THIS IS NOT HOW PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD ACT!!! Poor customer service skills, RUDE! No Manners! Acts like a cat has got his tounge and by "his" I am referring to the owner of this establishment "John" Here is my experience: Took my car down to this shop last week February 2019 Figured I'd go to this particular shop because it was within walking distance of my house just in case I would have to leave my car there. I was only going for an inspection. When I walked in the office portion of the building the owner was standing at a desk and must of seen me from the corner of my eye because instead of saying hello all he said was "one minute". Well I figured he was talking to me because there was no one else in the office. So once he was done fiddling with paperwork on the desk I said I need to get an inspection please, he then tells me that all his guys were out to lunch and to come back in a little bit. I said ok and thank you. I later returned a few hours that same day. Walked into the office, and he says that it'd be a few minutes. So I walked outside because it was beautiful this particular day and I waited. They had the large garage door open and after about 5 minutes of waiting the owner "John" stands in the doorway and looks at me and signals me to pull my car up, so I look back at him and said pull my car up? He then shakes his head yes. I thought to myself how ignorant could someone be as to not use your damn words! I really wanted to say, "what's the matter , cat got your tounge"? So I go get my car and drove it up to the opening of the garage. I then get out of my car, only for him to hand signal me to drive into the garage bay. So then again, I asked him, " do you want me to pull it all the way in"? He shakes his head yes. So I pulled my car in and some other guy came over and dealt with my car. Few minutes later the owner comes over to me and tells me my battery is dead on my car. I said , "no it's not, my battery is fine!" He says no it came up on the computer that your battery is dead. I then told him that I had a bunch of things recently replaced on my car and he then tells me that I have to drive my car some more since everything got reset. He then also says that I still have to pay but then gave me a temporary sticker and told me to come back after I drive the car more. I went back 4 days later only for the owner to tell me that he was out of inspection stickers, he says that he was expecting a delivery from ups at the end of the day and for me to come back. So I went back a few hours later, still no stickers. So the next day I decided I would call instead of going down there , still nothing! & now this time he says he's waiting for them to come in the mail. And now mind you this is the day my temporary expires!!! So needless to say , I had to take my car elsewhere for the inspection. He screwed me over! & took advantage! I've told my experience to many people that have gone to him and they've all said the same thing, "he is rude and a rip off". Don't go here. You'll get a huge run around and have a headache! I can't believe that our community stands for a business like this! We use to have a shop in our community that acted just like this one & guess where they are now??? Out of business!!! read more

Top notch. Knowledgeable. Honest. They get right to the point. Old school experience and getting harder to find. A+.

My son was going to college I spoke with John and explained how nervous I was and to please check the car for me ... his mechanics and himself went above and beyond .. and for that I will always be grateful ... this is only one story of many experiences I had with this shop ... everyone is great and kind .. I would rather have a knowledgeable garage to take my children's car and mine to , than to have just a chat session ... the reviews I have read are ridiculous.., car repairs are not cheap ... things happen this place is fair and reasonable .. I will never use anyone else .. THANK YOU ORANGE COUNTY !!! Susie Pessin read more

My car broke down and I called and they took me in immediately. Right after they got the parts in which was the next morning it was ready by noon and I've never had better service than I've had there at Orange County Transmisions in Washingtonville. The owner and the people that work there are very courteous, helpful, and really care about you and your car. I would recommend them with my whole heart. read more

Over priced and work not done as promised. Use extreme caution at this place folks! Where there is smoke theres fire.

DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE. Turned my van in for a flat tire. Was told I needed a new radiator. Attendant could explain why he checked radiator. Pressured me to make a $500 decision about replacing the radiator. I said I'll just take the van back, I wasn't comfortable. He said he already replaced the radiator and tried to strong arm me into paying. I took it to the shop down the street and they told me that the original radiator was still in the van and a new one was not needed. Dishonest shop that gives all mechanics a bad name. read more

SATISFACTION NOT A CONCERN, THE OWNER SAID I DON'T CARE IF YOU COME BACK I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER CUSTOMERS ...You can read the reviews...some are good some are bad. That's been my experience with this shop. A few years ago I brought a car in for work and was told on top of the original work I would need a new alternator, which was an unrelated repair. I had a hard time believing it was no good since the car was only 4yrs old but what are you going to do right? I was hesitant to go back but it's close and I needed a minor thing done. They did the right thing. A few more minor dealings and the same thing, they did the right thing. I would even sit and have some conversation with John(the owner) about suppliers trying to get over on him and how that's not how to do business. I started to feel like I hade a trust worthy place to bring my 3 cars. So when I sprung a leak on my rear break line naturally I brought it to John. I dropped it off and told him the issue. The reply was ok we'll check it out. I expected abut a $200 job and a call before the work was gonna be done. I believe this to be a normal business practice. After a few days I still hadn't heard from him so I stopped in. My truck was on the lift and there was repairs already done to it. They had replaced a bunch of stuff already and I never got a call. I played it cool thinking I could trust John. But at this point I'm being told that more work needs to be done in the front now including a caliber. I asked what is the bill, to which John replies I don't know I didn't add it up because we are still doing stuff. I said well give me a call, and left. Well again no call and now it's the weekend. So I wait until Monday afternoon and call them. Again I'm initiating any contact. John says that his guy called me on Saturday which I replied that I never received a call. He got very defensive and said well then he's lying to me right? I laughed it off but I don't think it was a joke. I asked him if the truck was done, which it was. Then I asked him what the bill was...$720 if I paid cash! I don't have that kinda money just laying around! I was first expecting a $200 bill then after stopping in and seeing all the other UNAUTHORIZED work that had already been done, I was thinking around $500, agan without asking me if it's ok. Now to be completely honest he said he worked on the bill to bring it done a little already by not charging for all the labor. That may be so...but who really knows. I told him I needed time to get that kinda money together which he was ok with but was not willing to reduce the bill anymore. A few days later I drove by and saw the truck had been parked in the lot with the window open. The next day I saw it open and stopped in to ask him to close it. I was met with a little bit of a attitude but whatever. So when I finally got enough money to pay for the job, I went down. I told John that I wasn't happy with how it all happened and asked why I didn't get asked if I wanted any of the other work done first. Basically the conversation was him telling me it was my fault for not asking (which I did when I stopped in) and me feeling like I had been taken for $720. They spent my money without asking first. I'm not going to go into the whole conversation but it ended with John telling me he has plenty of customers and he doesn't care if I'm not coming back. Think about that before you go there. This guy doesn'tcare if your a repeat customer! In effect you're satisfaction is irrelevant to his style of business!!! LONG STORY SHORT...IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THESE GUYS A BLANK CHECK, THEN THIS IS THE SPOT!! BUT IF YOUR LIKE ME AND WANT TO BE ASKED IF IT'S OK THEY DO THE WORK AND SPEND YOUR MONEY BEFORE IT'S SPENT, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

I've been doing business with this shop for about 25 years. Every time this job is completed properly and in very reasonable time and cost. I recommend this shop to anyone. read more

After 18 years of being a loyal customer, Orange County Transmission used deception to sell one of their used cars! John claimed the car was a great deal! He was our mechanic for almost twenty years; there was no reason to doubt his word. When the car's coolant light went on, all he said was he needed to add antifreeze because the car had been sitting on a lot for three months. He will take care of it. I relied on his opinion and "expertise" and trusted him. When we took the car back in for "coolant" problems the following week and questioned him about the issue, he became insulted. Again, he said they would fix the problem! He did not! We took it over to Brookside Auto and they confirmed that the car had a blown head gasket!!!! John continued to deny the problem, and said he will take another look and if we continue to have problems he would give us our money back. After claiming, again, that he fixed the vehicle, when he did not, he then told my husband the car is bound to have problems because it is an older model and that he has done more than enough. It was the same problem, one that he never fixed. Then he said that the car only had a 30 day warranty! Pure deception, at its best! read more
