I don't have to tell you that a transmission repair is probably one of the most expensive auto…read morerepair we ever have to make. An auto expense that could potentially exceed $3,000 really demand that you do your homework to find the right transmission repair shop. For two weeks, I researched and interviewed over 10 transmission shops before I eventually selected A-1 Transmission. My criteria for selection included: Past customer reviews, length of warranty - time and miles, who performed the actual work - employee or business owner who guarantees the work, customer care skills and how did they make me feel when I met with them. A-1 Transmission owner "John" was able to satisfy all of these requirements for me. I took my truck to the shop and two days later the owner "John" called and asked me to come over.When I arrived my transmission was on a table and completely taken apart. John showed me exactly what my problem was and asked me to feel and rub parts to understand where certain areas had unusual or inappropriate wear. I thought I would wait a month before posting my review. A month has passed and I have driven to Austin, TX twice. My 04 F-150 truck has performed flawlessly. I'm now comfortable enough to report that I'm extremely happy with the repair. That said, I also have the confidence of a written warranty for 24,000 miles or 2 years. The experience from start to finish was very pleasant. I highly recommend A-1 transmission. And while I hope never to have to rebuild or repair another transmission, if I do, I will most assuredly return to A-1 Transmission.

While the fee itself may not be significant, it should have been included in the written estimate so there were no surprises when I received the final bill. My recommendation to future customers is to specifically ask the office whether any additional fees, including "shop supplies," will be added beyond the written estimate before approving the work. Greater transparency up front would make for a better customer experience.

Unfortunately, after reading other reviews, I can say many of the concerns regarding professionalism seem to be accurate. I am disappointed because this experience was completely different from a previous visit we had at another location, which was excellent. I brought my vehicle in because I heard a scraping noise. Through my own observation, I noticed my emergency brake cable appeared to be hanging and making contact with the driver's side wheel. I made it clear that I am not a mechanic and that this was simply my assumption. My husband called ahead and explained the situation. We were told they could inspect anything visible to the eye at no charge. We thanked them and drove over. Initially everything was fine. We handed over the keys and waited. The employee who inspected the vehicle acknowledged the hanging brake cable but quickly shifted the conversation to a loose wheel hub assembly. He advised it was unsafe and quoted approximately $900 to repair it. I asked how long the repair would take because I am a psychotherapist with scheduled clients and also needed to coordinate childcare and school pickup. Instead of giving a timeframe, he repeatedly answered, "By the end of the business day," and seemed irritated when I asked for clarification. I also asked whether all repairs could be completed at once because I preferred not to make multiple trips. Instead of addressing my questions, the conversation repeatedly shifted toward financing options. The biggest issue throughout the interaction was communication. I repeatedly acknowledged his concerns about the wheel hub assembly and explained that I understood the risk. However, my immediate concern was the hanging brake cable and obtaining pricing for all recommended repairs so I could plan accordingly. Each time I asked about the brake cable or requested total pricing, the conversation returned to the wheel hub assembly. Eventually, my husband stepped in and attempted to bridge the communication gap by restating our questions. He explained that we wanted pricing for the brake cable, information on the O2 sensor, and a total estimate so we could decide how to proceed. Despite multiple attempts, the employee continued repeating the same information about the wheel hub assembly. At one point, my husband became so frustrated by the lack of direct answers that he began contacting our own mechanic while the employee continued repeating the same sales pitch. Even other employees appeared to notice the awkwardness of the interaction. After several requests, we were finally told the brake cable repair would be approximately $99 and that a diagnostic fee would be required before pricing the O2 sensor. We ultimately left because the interaction felt unnecessarily frustrating. The situation worsened afterward. When we returned home, our Cadillac mechanic noticed the wheel center cap from the wheel they inspected was missing. I called the store simply to ask whether they had found it. Before I could even finish my sentence, the same employee became defensive and repeatedly insisted they had not removed anything from the vehicle. The problem was that I never accused anyone of removing it. I was only asking if they could check around the shop because it had been present before we arrived. I also asked whether surveillance footage could be reviewed. Again, the response was dismissive and irritated. I attempted to provide constructive feedback regarding the interaction. I explained that while he clearly understood the vehicle, customers often need information presented differently and that active listening is just as important as explaining repairs. Rather than listening, he repeatedly interrupted me, talked over me, and eventually stated, "Ma'am, this is not a paid consult." He continued raising his voice, interrupting, and speaking over me while I was attempting to end the conversation. What stood out most was that his tone toward my husband was noticeably different than the tone he used with me throughout the interaction. Finally, I would like to address the business's response to another review. The claim that I stated I would have friends and family leave reviews across multiple locations is completely false. I never made that statement. My husband and I were both customers and each left our own reviews based on our experiences. My cousin independently left a review after witnessing the interaction and hearing the phone call. Suggesting there was some coordinated effort or campaign against multiple locations is simply inaccurate. I have no issue with the other employees. My concerns are specific to this individual. Constructive feedback is how businesses improve, and this employee would benefit greatly from improving his active listening, communication, and customer service skills. Stay blessed.

After leaving the shop and deciding to have the work completed elsewhere, I called back to get some clarification regarding the inspection. Strangely, when I called from my phone, the call would not go through. However, when I called from my wife's phone moments later, someone answered immediately. If my number was blocked, that's incredibly unprofessional behavior from a business. This is a repair shop, not a high school. We originally came in for a brake inspection. The service advisor--not the mechanic--told us that the wheel hub assembly would need attention. That's fine, and I understood the recommendation. However, our immediate concern was simply getting the loose brake cable secured, and we planned to address the wheel hub assembly the following week. My wife clearly explained our situation: we have insurance coverage, we both work from home, and we would be paid on Monday, allowing us to take care of any additional repairs soon. Despite this, the advisor seemed far more focused on selling us on the wheel hub assembly repair than listening to our actual concerns. Every conversation felt like a sales pitch rather than an effort to address the issue we came in for. In the end, we left feeling unheard and pressured. Rather than continue dealing with that experience, we've decided to have our personal mechanic handle the repairs. Customer service and communication matter just as much as the repair itself, and unfortunately, this shop fell short in both areas.
