Honest, straight forward and down to earth. I highly recommend Discount Transmission and they…read moresaved me about $1500 on my PT cruiser and a $3000 transmission rebuild on my Ford Taurus. Management, their mechanics and this business is by far the best in Lake Station and do more than just transmissions. In fact, they've repaired two of my cars including a starter, transmission line, battery all including free diagnostics. So between knowing other customers positive experiences and my own Discount Transmission is a shop you can trust and have confidence you'll be treated fairly and even better. Special thank you to Larry and the gang at DT, you're #1.

I also took advantage of the shuttle service this time and that was also a great experience, the driver was very friendly and shared some funny stories from his days working in Vegas years ago. So far so good! Came here because a friend referred me and I'm not disappointed so far. I called a couple days ago and got a quote and set up an appointment to come in on a Friday. Just a heads up it was busy today and I heard them tell a customer Fridays are busy so if you need to come in later in the week I would try and make an appointment. Everyone I've interacted with so far has been very pleasant and kind. They even have a ride shuttle if you need it. I was sitting waiting for a friend for a bit and an employee just in with me to make sure I didn't need a ride or anything. Great customer service! I came in for a Brake Master Cylinder replacement.

Unfortunately Midwest Auto is a shady money trap I wouldn't recommend. I was told my Ford Taurus…read moreneeded a new Transmission for between $3200-5100 and that my PT Cruiser needed to have the engine resealed for $1250 but luckily I shopped these repairs. It turns out the liquid leaking form my PT was mostly transmission fluid which completely leaked out and only needed a new line. As for the Ford Taurus's transmission DISCOUNT TRANSMISSION in Lake Station didn't find an issue with the transmission but rather that the odometer needed to be replaced and PC issues addressed. On another visit in May 2024 my PT broke down just a few miles from Midwest after picking it up which cost me an additional towing fee and repair. This on top of the shady $150 inspection fee they charge which which missed the issue. So what would have been a minimum of between $4450-6350 was thousands less elsewhere. Between Midwest advertising free loaners which were never available, free shuttles which weren't always running or management not answering calls and poor customer service 1 star is justifiable. I strongly suggest skipping Midwest Auto Care and finding an honest company.
