I went to Precision Transmission with my 1999 Suburban with a 4L80E transmission issue. Henry was very transparent with what he believed the issue was with the transmission. I dropped the truck off with him and the repairs were exactly what he stated and the issue was resolved. His knowledge saved me the cost of pulling the transmission and transfer case, as the issue was with a module within the transmission. I would definitely recommend Henry and his shop. read more

Talk to Henry at Precision Transmission and BOOM, problems will be solved. Took my 2018 Ford Expedition Platinum Max to Henry and he took care of it. Comes with a warranty that Henry stands behind AND the job is done right. SUV shifts as smooth as butter again. Perfect work! read more

If you have a transmission issue, take it here. Henry is awesome, and will give a fair price.

I brought my Honda Pilot there to get the Catalyst Converter guard installed. I was very impressed with the way they treat their customers. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended this place to everyone. Thanks a bunch to Henry read more

We have a 2013 RX350 F Sport with the 8 speed transmission that began to shudder at around 85k miles. I replaced the transmission fluid twice according to the Lexus forum. People online have known about this problem for a while now, and many have had to replace their transmission. At around 90K (last month), I felt that the shuddering was getting more pronounced. Called Fremont Lexus and left messages but no one called back. Also called Lexus (manufacturer) and they pretended they had never heard of such a thing. Anyway, I called Henry on a Monday morning before operating hours and he asked to see the car. I brought the car in on Wednesday, took it for a test drive and proceeded to ask me to try Lubegard before doing any major work. Explained to me the workings of transmissions and torque converters for over an hour. Two weeks ago, I tried the Lubegard and to my surprise, it fixed the shudder. Is it a permanent fix? Probably not, but just the fact that he had my car and my pocket book in mind more than his business is unheard of. Thumbs up to Henry for being such an honest and standup guy. No doubt I will be seeing him again if I need any work for this car or any of my other cars. read more

Henry is one of the most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He also happens to be an expert on transmissions and runs a pretty good shop too ;) I called up Henry after my mechanic told me I needed to take my car to a transmission shop because the issues I brought to them were out of their comfort zone. As soon as I called Henry's shop and spoke with him for just a few seconds, I knew his nearly all 5 star reviews were right on point. Henry was extremely transparent with me, answered every question with grace, let me see parts of the process no other professional mechanic has been transparent enough to show me, and was a class act to work with. He delivered the final product (a rebuilt 4L60E for my GM SUV) ahead of schedule, on budget, and it exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry and Precision Transmissions. He is the real deal. I've attached some photos that he shared with me from the teardown of my transmission. read more

I had a problem with the transmission on one of our winding machines. with a bent shaft and he fixed it too a very tight tolerance., which I did not think it could be done. When we but it back together we ran into another problem, because Henry did such a good job I gave him a call for help. He came out to our company and went over our problems. When he left he did not even want to get paid, I definiely I Would trust him with any work I would need! read more

Easily 5 Stars, don't waste your time looking for another shop. My 1st gen Tacoma was having issues changing gears. I looked online at forums, etc. and talked to several transmission shops here on the Peninsula and Santa Clara. Everything pointed to either bad solenoids, rebuilding my transmission or to buy a used transmission since they no longer make mine. Either way I was looking at spending $2k - $5k. I luckily found Precision Transmissions, stopped in and spoke to Henry about a rebuild. He has 5 stars for a reason. In short, he listened to what I had to say, asked a few questions and said I might not need a rebuild but he will need to see my truck. I brought it in a week later and he had me on the road the very next day saving me thousands of dollars. Not one shop even diagnosed the real problem or what a cheap & simple fix it was. If you have a transmission issue, give him a call, you will see immediately, Henry is an expert who knows his stuff AND is honest. How often can you say that these days? Henry is genuine and I'm lucky to have met him, thanks a ton! read more

Dropped off my mother's 2005 Toyota Matrix since it had approached 170K on the odometer. I had previously recommended my fishing buddy Tom and his Toyota Sequoia for a transmission overhaul, and Tom was happy with Precision Transmission's work and reasonable price, so it was a no-brainer along with the handful of stellar Yelp reviews. Mother's Toyota Matrix had a slight whine before bringing it in, and Mr. Henry (very nice and professional, but what is most important to me is that he is very honest) educated me that it was the transmission bearings that may be getting old and eventually will go bad. But he also told me that the car was still good to run safely (even though the tranny bearings are getting old), and maybe even with some good maintenance and early and often fluid changes, might even last another 50K miles. Handed the key to my cute mother's cute little Toyota, and in 24 hours later received a phone call to come pick it up. While driving her Toyota Matrix home, it was shifting buttery smooth again. The feeling is like a fresh new oil change, the car just runs almost like new again without hiccups. Needless to say, i am satisfied just like my friend who had a whole new rebuilt transmission done. So now that i have a good and trustworthy mechanic/shop for my transmission work, i am going to be scheduling my BMW 530i and Nissan Titan to have both transmission fluids changed. Peace of mind is often worth more than the journey itself, and preventative maintenance is the way to go for me. But only, if my mechanic is honest and good at what he does. Precision Transmission gets busy. I am almost reluctant to post this review, since it is already hard to find parking the times i've been here. But Yelp has helped me find good merchants (this is how i initially heard about Precision T.), so it is only right that i return the favor. read more

Henry was honest and fair. I have been a technician for 20+ years, but didn't have time to go through a transmission to inspect for issues. I brought it to him for tear down and inspect. He invited me over to inspect it myself, while it was apart to verify what he was telling me. (Always a good sign in the auto repair world). I highly recommend this shop. Henry, if you read this, thanks again! I'll bring a couple more transmissions for the same treatment! I have already recommended you to some friends who are building cars and need trans work. read more

If you never need any work in your vehicle's transmission this is the place. Henry a professional and will explain the process of what is needed to get your car back on the road and won't quit until it's done right. He does have a small shop so he may be busy but he'll tell you right up front that he may have to pug your car in a lineup but he'll get to it being so busy it may take an extra day to her it back but it'll be right when you do. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Precision Transmissions - Transmission Repair Near Me - Milpitas, California

Henry is awesome! He worked on my Jeep and did a fantastic job rebuilding the transmission. I highly recommend him and his shop.

Like many people here have commented, Henry and his work are amazing. He was the most honest, polite, and axxomdating person we called. He also offered the best price and threw in extra work at no extra costs. Fixing a transmission is never fun and always a financial shock but I'm so glad we went here. If you want amazing work and an honest shop give Henry a call. Highly recommend. read more

Henry has rebuilt 2 tranny's and 2 other quick fixes for my other 2 cars. He is honest, and the work speaks for itself. I've been taken by other shops before. I got stranded in Milpitas several years ago and just by luck he answered the phone after hours and made me feel good about towing it to his shop. Well three cars later still happy and it's worth the drive for me. read more

We were referred to Henry at Precision Transmission by a trusted Honda shop foreman for our 2001 Honda Odyssey transmission (error codes, P0700, P0705, P0740, D4 blinking, etc). My prior solenoid filter cleanings and replacements proved shortlived. Rather than replacing the transmission with a rebuilt one from Honda (over $6k quote), we opted to have Henry and his techs rebuild our transmission. We were impressed with the workmanship and quality standards. Henry sent us photos of the clogged internal filter and the metal on metal wear. In a short 7 days, Precision Transmission handed us our van. It runs like new and the transmission looks new as well (cleaned and painted). Competitively priced! read more

I own 3 hotrods, e.g. 1954 Buick Special, 1955 Plymouth Plaza Wagon, and 1963 Dodge D200 Sweptline Truck. Henry did minor repairs on the 700R transmission in my Buick, He rebuilt the 545RFE Transmission in the Plymouth wagon and he "Built" a A518/46RH tranny for my Dodge Truck. In regards to the repairs on the Buick and Plymouth, those two cars were built before I met Henry. All my friends in the bay area with high dollar Hot Rods and Classic Cars trust Henry when it comes to their transmission. When it comes to transmissions Henry has been my go to guy for the past 7+ years. read more

Henry and his team did a great job rebuilding the transmission in my truck, and for a reasonable price. If you hear loud grinding coming from your transmission as you cruise on I880, and are filled with dread that some manner of terrible things has befallen your vehicle, at least be thankful if it happens near Precision Transmissions. As I coasted off the freeway I was fortunate enough to call Henry, who was still around after hours. He was recommended by other mechanics in the area as "the man" to go to with transmission issues. They are not wrong. Henry was able to give me a reasonable estimate on the spot, and schedule my truck in (he is busy!). He was able to diagnose the likely parts failure, and cost, based only on the particular type of unpleasant noises being emitted from my transmission. How cool is that? He was busy, but a week or so later, as promised, I picked up my truck with rebuilt transmission and new torque converter, for slightly less than Henry's estimate. It shifts as smooth as silk. It is apparent that these guys know transmissions inside out, have the experience to do what is a challenging job, and do it right. They can also regale you with some fun stories of other epic transmission-related failures to boot. I was lucky my truck decided to chew up its transmission on Henry's doorstep. I'll be going there for any future transmission needs. read more

When it comes to Auto Machanics, HONESTY is what I look for. I had a 1996 Toyota Van with a transmission that starting to shift slower than normal. I thought to myself it's going to be several thousands of dollars for a new transmission. Henry test drove my van then performed a transmission fluid flush. My transmission shifted normal again. He could have easily said a transmission rebuild or a new transmission. Because he is an honest man, he performed what's truly needed versus quoting me several thousand dollars to rebuild the current one. I would recommend this place over any other Chain Transmission shops. read more

Henry was amazing! My transmission blew on 101 right before the 880 Oakland interchange. He had it up and running in 3 days at a very affordable price! I would recommend him to everyone! read more

First off, thank you Henry, you are truly an honest guy and mechanic. Transmissions are something that anyone could easily fool a customer into more expensive repairs and such. However, Henry was very transparent and honest from the get go, he was actually referred to me by my regular mechanic who I would also vouch for any day. Anyway, Henry made me feel very comfortable knowing that the car was left in great hands. The turnaround time was long, but Henry had saved us a bunch of money with his careful diagnosis and by taking his time to exhaust every resource that he had to give us the best deal. Henry also didn't have the easiest time with the specific car that I brought in as he had heard from 3 different people regarding it, so thank you for your patience with that Henry. Turnaround time was long, Jan 18 - Feb 14, so almost a month, but completely understandable as Henry was doing his best to save us as much money as possible. Even after he had given us an ETA of another possible 2.5 weeks just for the parts to be delivered, he got the car finished in 13 days. Wow. Henry went above and beyond for us. I am very grateful to have brought my business to such an honest person and highly recommend him for any transmission work. read more

April 2019 and my transmission is still running smooth! I'm still a major fan!

Got a used 2006 F-150 manual transmission from a used car lot. The sellers always don't tell you something. The clutch sometimes not work and has noise when turning. Henry found out the problems that need to replace the clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, and the front wheel bearing. Henry finished the job in one day with a reasonable price. Besides Henry did more than expected! He changed my front rotors and fixed the hanger of my exhaust for free. He also drives me to my company the day when I drop off the truck. Henry is nice, absolutely will go to this store again. read more

Henry is a true professional. Tried a couple "free" solutions before going into the more costly option. He knows what he's talking about and wants the absolute best for his customers and their cars! read more

Showed up here with a completely failing clutch and he took a look at it and determined that my master cylinder was leaking and it needed replacing and asked me if I wanted him to do it or i was gonna bring it to another shop and I said another shop and he topped my clutch fluid off and said that would get me by for a while and when I went to pay he said no charge if ur looking for a honest transmission look no further read more

Henry went above and beyond to repair my car. He took over the repairs after a shady and scamming mechanic (Rene Buenaventura) supposedly tried to work on my car. Henry stayed on top of it until all of the issues with the check engine light have been resolved. He consistently kept me up to date with the progress and even followed up after the repairs have been completed. read more

Precision is very professional and gets the job done right the first time. My problem ended up being just a simple seal. I have used them for years and every time they always figure out the problem not just replacing things that do not need replacing. read more

Henry was very accommodating getting my Acura CL into repair without an appointment. He was very professional and I am very happy with the results. The work performed exceeded my expectations and I would fully recommend Precision Transmissions to anyone needing expert transmission service. Thanks! read more
