    I had a small conversation about getting a quote from this location. My responses were very detail but Hai responses were short and kinda demeaning. Horrid way to treat your customer. Why would you ever respond with "lol" Edit: I got a personal message after posting this review. Still doesn't treat me like a customer and he had to put a sarcastic bit at the end. Screenshots say it all.

    A picture of my transmission pan to show he removed and replaced the fluid.

    Adrian was very knowledgable, polite, and professional! You would think these big shops would be desperate to hire him. He explained everything in detail, he even listened when I said I was particular about my truck putting in a paper mat to keep it clean. He did everything he could to make me comfortable with the work to be performed and I would definitely visit him again! Thanks Adrian!!

    Found an unexpected leak in my radiator. I called Josh and he was able to get my Jeep in that day…read more They diagnosed the problem and found a couple of other issues like my brakes were very low and needed replacement. They got the work done very timely and also worked with our warranty vendor to have them cover a big part of the repair. Very satisfied.

    A little over a month ago I took my 2017 Silverado to the shop my truck lost reverse. I told them…read more I needed a new transmission. I wanted to replace my transmission then they called me few days charged me a couple hundred dollar diagnostic fee to tell me I needed a new transmission cool let's replace the transmission it was close to $8000. I get my truck back the drive home. It breaks down I tow it back. They say it's the alternator they didn't touch anything electrical I replaced the alternator then it breaks down again. They said it's because I didn't get an OEM alternator I am now on my second OEM one a brand new yellow top battery and starter and my truck still will not run properly and they say it's an electrical issue. , my truck was is perfect running condition for the last three years of me building this truck with no issues. I take it to them because it had no reverse To get a new transmission and now I'm having all these issues and they say it's not their problem. They didn't touch anything electrical.but it has not ran since I've picked up at their shop. Also they did not put the cover plate on the new and there was a big exposed hole on the bottom of my transmission. I've called to talk to Dalton and Josh several times this last time I talked to Dalton he put me on hold and he comes back and you can hear he was laughing. This shop does not care about their customers. They will take your money and send you on your way and say not their problem. I usually do not write reviews and honestly don't care to write them but I've spent so much money that I had to come up with, and I hope that this review will help stop anybody else from using this shop I read the Google reviews and there was a lot of reviews that I should've paid attention to and to now I checked these yelp reviews and I definitely would not have used if I checked out the yelp reviews because I'm in the same boat as everybody else avoid this shop at all cost if you don't want to be robbed for your money and sent on your way with a vehicle working worse than it did before you took it to them now I may have to trade in my vehicle that I've spent so much time and money on building because I let their techs touch my truck now if I get it running somehow who knows if they'll even honor the warranty of the transmission read all the reviews. I came to the shop because it was a local Oceanside business and I used to deliver parts to them When I was a kid I did not know that it was bought by somebody else avoid if you do not want to be out of a lot of money they will not care once they get paid. I've asked to talk to a gm or an owner several times and they keep just sending me on my way now that they got paided they don't care. It's not their problem. Now hes reply saying they didn't damage anything without acknowledging that they could've damaged the power supply taking in and out the transmission that BCM could've got damaged while transmission was being replaced The ground cable could have been crimped would they check and look no they will charge more random diagnostic fees so now I have to tow to another shop for them to tell me what's wrong after having these con artist hustle me for 80000 and now look at all his replies to bad reviews look how they treat you after taking your money Just oh best wishes to you although I took a truck that was running with no reverse into them and had to tow it out this shop is a huge scam maybe Oceanside needs to stand up against crooked shops like this that robs our community and sends people on their way . O top of all that my output shaft seal on the transmission is leaking and they say it's due to other leaks But it's clearly the seal leaking how does a person take a running truck with no reverse into a shop for a transmission replacement and it comes out of the shop and does not even wanna stay on but that's not their fault make it make sense

    1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir

So it's difficult to trust anyone with truly caring for my car and not cheating me because soooo many have attempted until they realize I know a decent amount to not be 'had'. Im grateful each place I've lived I have found places I can trust, takes some searching and listening to locals. A friend recommended this shop and I'm so glad because when I walked in it felt a lot like walking into my granddad's shop. They run a great shop. Workers are nice and seem to really care. They make you feel comfortable leaving such an important part of your family with them, the family car! They have a waiting room, they use to provide snacks, it's been a while since we've waiting there so not sure now. Last few times we've left the vehicle with them. I'm so grateful they didn't push unnecessary upsells on customers. We were out of town and my husband took our suv to a valvoline... now some are decent, but most are all about that upsell and Walmart didnt even change the filter yet said they did and charged me! So while there's been a few times in life I've had to use what was available where I was, we live here now and T n T is where we go! For both vehicles.

You can be driving on the highway in the hills,…read moreand when you put it in manual mode, it will intermittently double or triple down-shift when you move the shifter, intending for a single gear downshift. At highway speeds, downshifting from 5th into 2nd gear can blow up your engine. Jeeps don't like 8000 RPM. They had my car for the day, and couldn't reproduce the issue in the .5 miles they drove on my car, then he called me on the phone at 3 pm and tried to tell me I don't know how to shift the car I've owned for 10 years. I told them fine, I'll come get it. I get there 60 minutes later, an hour before they close, and the doors are locked. They left early. They knew I was coming. They could have called, but didn't. Said they had an emergency. That was a lie... they answered their phone after hours with no emergency in their voice. You could see them inside. Tge Open neon sign facing Iceanside blvd was still lit. They just wanted to mess with me. They had my number. They could have told me they "had an emergency". Instead... I spent $15 in an uber getting from work to their shop after they called me, and told me I could come pick it up. Then I had to spend $25 to uber home after finding that out. Then I had to uber back in the morning for another $25. This place should be razed. They are totally worthless. I can prove every bit of this review. It will not be taken down. I was referred to them by Accurate Alignment who is awesome. I am also letting them know they should re-think their recommendation.
