To: Ralph's Transmission…read more I felt your prices are to "High". I heard your Ad on one of my favor radio station. I read your Web page - thought the local - family owned and run business would be good to the Consumer. I will next time take the time to seek out other estimates and review other businesses. I have always given my preference to Local; Family Owned and Run Businesses - as I felt this is good for the Economy. I now realize there are some local; family run businesses that are not for the Consumer's benefit but more to a line their own pockets. I read where the New Owners of Ralph's Transmission recently purchased the business (3 years ago) and I can only believe with their "High Prices" they are looking to pay off their debt as quickly as possible. I even ask for a Veteran's (I am a Disable Veteran) Discount to try and off set the cost and they "Offered Nothing"; this Company does not Honor nor Support our Veterans. Thanks for the High Bill!

Kevin offered an amazing price to install a transmission on our 2002 Chevy Avalanche. He also took…read morethe time to show and discuss the higher quality parts used for the rebuild. Kevin went above and beyond by returning to his shop after dinner, around 7:00pm, so we could drop off the truck before leaving out of town for work.

We started calling around with no one willing or capable in our first five calls. My brother in-law got a hold of Darren who said he would check on it on Sunday if we could get it to shop. We got a call back on Sunday for a heads up on the job...that's his day off. After they pushed back or reschedule other jobs for us (traveling) they started Monday morning and we had our car back on Tuesday morning. Nice. Kayla who answered the phones and worked the office was joy to deal with. We had all our questions answered and peace of mind getting back on the road. Last words...this transmission shop is a no-brainer for no-nonsense. Thanks again.

No up selling, no nonsense, very honest. I would have normally taken my vehicle to my dealership, but I've lost all faith in the Service Dept., and the Tech in mis diagnosing causing me several hundred more dollars, as well as taking it elsewhere to find out it was just a bad battery and not the starter which the dealer missed and charged me for a new starter. Gateway, diagnosed and fix the issue in 4 hours. I highly recommend them. While not a big fancy facility, these gentlemen are honest, and fair. Excellent work!!!!

Frank holds high standards of service, knowledge and hard work and he insists on the same for his employees. His prices are fair, he's honest and his education is extremely impressive. After I totaled my car frank helped me choose one without hesitation (probably because I kept bringing my choices to him only to have him say NO YO ). After more than a decade of trusting my car and safety with Gateway and thanks to Franks help ... I finally purchased a new car and it Looks like I'll be a loyal customer forEVER The shop is open Mon thru Fri and his prices remain very fair. END UPDATE For years I have been able to rely on and trust the staff of Gateway Automotive. Today when my car died outside of the library I called the shop and Ryan assured me that if I towed it over they would take care of it so I did. I was immediately greeted by the staff and Ryan went straight to work. The problem was diagnosed and repaired in less than 2 hours. He was direct, accurate and incredibly helpful. I am grateful for his hard work. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I ALWAYS recommend this shop for the fact that they've never been wrong and have always been honest. Many times I've sent my friends to Gateway for second opinions and nearly every time their diagnosis was on point and way more affordable. It's hard to find an honest mechanic in this town... Gateway fills that need

I definitely will be bringing my corolla back here again for any car maintenance.
